HDHomerun Prime and tvheadend

Added by Bob Wooden almost 9 years ago

I have just finished installing tvheadend on my Ubuntu Trusty (14.04) machine. Iintially I installed the hdhomerun-config and my tuners were discovered when I ran "hdhomerun_config discover".

I thought I had read that hdhomerun support was built into the current stable version of tvheadend (I installed.) Why are my tuners not available under 'Configuration >> DVB Inputs >> TV adapters'?

I am having the same issue on a Raspberry Pi 1 model B

I am having problems getting TVHeadend to detect the tuners on my HDHomerun Prime.
The following includes the steps I am using with errors I get in paranthesis in the last section installing dvbhdhomerun.


Hardware: Raspberry Pi 1 Model B


Update:

1. apt-get update
2. apt-get upgrade


install dev dependencies

1. apt-get install cvs build-essential cmake

-------------------------------------------
install Tvheadend

1. repo key: curl http://apt.tvheadend.org/repo.gpg.key | apt-key add
2. append /etc/apt/sources.list with deb http://apt.tvheadend.org/stable wheezy main
3. apt-get update; apt-get install tvheadend
------------------------------------------

install SiliconDust drivers

cd #
mkdir HDHomerun

Download Drivers:

1. wget http://download.silicondust.com/hdhomerun/libhdhomerun_20150826.tgz
2. wget http://download.silicondust.com/hdhomerun/hdhomerun_config_gui_20150826.tgz

Extract both libhdhomerun and hdhomerun_config_gui to the same directory, e.g.:

1. tar xvzf libhdhomerun_20150826.tgz
2. tar xvzf hdhomerun_config_gui_20150826.tgz

From the hdhomerun_config_gui directory, run:

1. cd hdhomerun_config_gui/
2. sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev
3. ./configure
4. make
5. sudo make install
6. sudo ldconfig

-------------------------------------------
install dvbhdhomerun:

1. cd /usr/HDHomerun/
2. sudo apt-get install cmake libhdhomerun-dev dkms dh-systemd module-assistant
3. git clone https://github.com/h0tw1r3/dvbhdhomerun
4. cd dvbhdhomerun

  1. Build and install the kernel module
    1. cd kernel
    2. make
    3. sudo make install
    4. sudo modprobe dvb_hdhomerun (This fails with: modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'dvb_hdhomerun': Invalid argument)
    5. cd ..
