Tvheadend

Same issue here - did you make any more progress?

RPi3+Jessie

Nope, still waiting for the solution.

Hi,

i want to confirm, that i have the same issue with a Raspberry PI B+. Here is my output:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/apt-add-repository", line 167, in <module>
    sp = SoftwareProperties(options=options)
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/SoftwareProperties.py", line 99, in __init__
    self.sourceslist = SourcesList()
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/aptsources/sourceslist.py", line 273, in __init__
    self.matcher = SourceEntryMatcher(matcherPath)
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/aptsources/sourceslist.py", line 458, in __init__
    dist = DistInfo(f, base_dir=matcherPath)
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/aptsources/distinfo.py", line 261, in __init__
    component.set_description(_(value))
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xfc in position 17: invalid start byte

Unfortunately, i am not able to get an old repo running. When i add the following line to my /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://apt.tvheadend.org/stable wheezy main

and afterwards run apt-get update as root i get the following error message:

W: Fehlschlag beim Holen von http://apt.tvheadend.org/stable/dists/wheezy/InRelease  Erwarteter Eintrag »main/binary-armhf/Packages« konnte in Release-Datei nicht gefunden werden (falscher Eintrag in sources.list oder missgebildete Datei).

Sorry its in german. I'll post the english version right in a minute.

Here we go:

W: Failed to fetch http://apt.tvheadend.org/stable/dists/wheezy/InRelease  Unable to find expected entry 'main/binary-armhf/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

In first place, i don't care, which repository i can use to install tvheadend. I would like to get it running any way. Does any one know a working guide, or repo which would work on my Raspberry Pi B+? Meanwhile i have the feeling that i have tried all repository variants from this page https://tvheadend.org/projects/tvheadend/wiki/AptRepository. But without success none of them seem to work.

I just want to get any version of tvheadend running, so i can try it out. The long term goal would be then to use the latest supported repository.

I've just followed the steps on the AptRepo page myself and it works as expected, as I noted on the page itself.. Raspberry Pi users be aware that unstable and stable builds are lagging behind due to build issues, please use the release build for now.

You need to add:

deb http://dl.bintray.com/tvheadend/deb jessie release

or

deb http://dl.bintray.com/tvheadend/deb wheezy release

To your /etc/apt/sources.list manually not sure why apt-add-repository is throwing that error..

I've updated the page..

I got it!

I added the following line to my sources.list:

deb https://dl.bintray.com/tvheadend/deb/ jessie release

afterwards an apt-get update was successfull. The installation with apt-get install tvheadend was like a charm :D. Now, i'm digging into the configuration. But I think this will need some more reading, reading, reading ...

Thanks!

Adding manually worked, no more errors during update.

Thanks!

(I've added the http and not the https url suggested byMichaelD)

Thanks for the guidance! Much appreciated.

Hello,

Is the unstable part will work again? And when? I can't compile it by myself....

Thank's

Big
