Tvheadend

Where did you install from, please? Is this from the PPA, self-build, or from somewhere else?

apt-cache policy tvheadend

... will tell you what's installed and where it came from

Sorry for delay reply.

There have been a number of changes to the versioning scheme - I suspect you're just stuck in the middle of one of those, depending on when you checked out the code.

I wouldn't worry about it for the moment, but I'll mention it to the folks who are building it to see if it's been fixed, waiting to be fixed or perhaps just waiting a backport from master to the 4.0 branch.

Hi, I was just looking into this and saw in support/version it assigns the version number by mainly doing:

if [ -d ".git" ]; then
  VER=$(cd "$(dirname "$0")"/..; git describe --dirty --match "v*" 2> /dev/null)

but when you choose to download the zip file (instead of doing a git clone), .git directory is not included. Thus, setting the version number won't work and you would see "0.0.0~unknown" in tvh. This also applies for the above link you used.

I'm also trying to figure out what version I am currently using (I've compiled it several months ago).

Build 4.0.2 still cannot show the correct versiom.

Did you try git clone as I suggested?

git clone -b release/4.0 https://github.com/tvheadend/tvheadend.git
cd tvheadend
git describe
configure [whatever you need]
make && make install

Your method is work.

I download the source from below.

https://github.com/tvheadend/tvheadend/releases

It cannot show the version correct.

Is compiling the only way to get a "stable" 4.0 version? I am stuck with 3.9.x and can't find a 4.0 in any repository. Is there one?
