Tvheadend

Pi builds are manually done I believe, I've attached my build from this morning (There is no transcoding! You're mad if you try that on a Pi).

Hello Mark,

thank you for the files, I now use your version.
Too bad that the repository is no longer maintained.

Hi Guys,
I compile currently tvheadend packages, too.
The last i have compiled 5 minutes ago 3.9.2406~g8018b54_armhf.deb
I have uploaded it.

Can you tell me what options do you use to compile the packages?
currently i use the following (./configure -disable-avahi) is this the best option for the small board and his resources?

I use the Banana Pi Projekt with Bananian armhf (more RAM, Dual Core and SATA)

The last deb file (tvheadend_3.9.2406~g8018b54_armhf.deb )appears to be broken won't start the server after installing the tvheadend_3.9.2339~gc51b162_armhf.deb works however does anyone have the latest version ready to install?

Anybody who managed to compile newest build deb package for RPI? Using 2339 build on banana pro and all works, but i'm linux noob and won't destroy my working config with bad builds done myself ;-)
thx

Lol, said it, tried it on my second RPI with ./Autobuild and without knowing what i do and no other options, but seems to run fine (till now).
Maybe someone her could explain whats the benefit of other compile options like disable-avahi nd how to do that. As i said, i'm linux noob...

Will these work on a raspberry pi 2 running raspian? Sorry to ask noob question but do i just install both deb files with dpkg -i ? I would like to have a later version than the 3.4 in the repo.

It should work, for me works on bananian/bananapro and raspbian/RPI. Installed it with dpkg -i.
But as i said, I'm linux noob and guarantee for nothing, try it and you will see

Heres my instructions.

Not working very well for me though

Using this builds for some time on BananaPro, working well. I build that on my Raspberry Pi and installed on Banana. I tried to build the same on my Banana but that builds didnt start, weird. Today i tried newest builds but that didnt run well, chrashes after some time. Btw, the builds i attached work good here.

I would also appreciate if you could automatically build an ARMHF version for the unstable branch. It would greatly ease the testing process.

Here is some new build, for me running stable so far on my bananaPro.

New builds:

Next new build:

Just keep them coming on regular basis, highly appreciated!

Building it from time to time, but its verry easy to do so for yourself. Just clone the git (like in wiki description), git pull if new build is out, ./Autobuild.sh will do it fine Nothing special, but works fine for me.

New build...

OK, i made a simple script that builds every night and copies file on my own little banana webserver....seems to work fine, good thing for linux noob like me ;)
Here it is TVHeadend nightly builds

Not using the pi build anymore but could offer some bandwidth if necessary running a Server 24/7 behind a fibre line in London anyways.

Just let me know if you need it

No, i think it doesn't.

Is it possible that you share this script or at least the build parameters that you use to built tvheadend with Autobuild.sh?

Thank you!

Its just a simple script (i named it build.sh):

#!/bin/sh
cd /home/hts/build/tvheadend         #thats my cloned git repo
git pull                             #getting newest build from git
./Autobuild.sh                       #i'm using no special parameters, only autobuild script which comes with repo
cd /home/hts/build                   #one folder back
mv tvheadend_*.deb /home/pi/download #moving new debfile to another folder
rm tvheadend-dbg*.deb                #deleting unnecessary files
rm tvheadend_*.changes               # " 
cp /home/pi/download/tvheadend_*.deb /media/netzlaufwerke/banana-wwwroot/tvheadend #copying that to samba-shared folders on my banana pro 
cp /home/pi/download/tvheadend_*.deb /media/netzlaufwerke/banana-home/download     # " 

As you see, nothing special, just typing ./build.sh and all running and copying files to where i want to have that. I set some crontab to build this once every night.If you want to have transcoding or hdhomerun, you have to compile some stuff, but thats not easy and i didnt need that...but i think there are some tutorials at the web. As i said, i'm just a linux noob with less skills in coding

Good news, last build 198 has transcode support.....installing ffmpeg and all needed stuff and getting that working really sucks..

could you elaborate on this? what do you mean that it has transcode support?

I could already since a long time compile TVH like this:

AUTOBUILD_CONFIGURE_EXTRA=--enable-libffmpeg_static ./Autobuild.sh

and have transcode support. But it was unusable on the Pi(2).

Do you mean that it has hardware support on the Rpi now and it runs smoothly?
Is it compiled in by default or do I have to compile it as above?
Are there detailed instructions somewhere?
