Tvheadend

Hi Guys,
Could you please let me know what should i put in /etc/apt/sources.list in order to install tvheadend on raspberry pi 2 running Ubuntu-mate 16.04 LTS? No matter what deb repository I add I always get "...doesn't support architecture 'armhf'" when apt-get update and "Unable to locate package tvheadend" when trying to install. Thank you for guidance.

You don't say what you have tried, but it seems the official repo supports ubuntu only on x86. If you have tried the debian repo https://bintray.com/tvheadend/deb, which does support armhf, and failed then you will probably have to compile tvheadend:

If you'd like to try my armhf build then you can download it from here;

I cross-compiled this on Ubuntu x86_64 but haven't got round to testing it yet. This is built from git 4.1-2135~g631b6b5 using the same compilation options as the official repository;

--prefix=/usr --includedir=${prefix}/include --mandir=${prefix}/share/man --infodir=${prefix}/share/info --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --disable-silent-rules --libexecdir=${prefix}/lib/tvheadend --disable-maintainer-mode --disable-dependency-tracking --enable-libffmpeg_static --enable-hdhomerun_static --enable-dvbcsa --enable-bundle

EDIT: removed invalid link from my post

Sorry about that, first time I've ever used Mega to share a file.

New link is in my original post above - would you remind editing your post to remove the invalid link please.

For the record, I've installed it on a Raspberry Pi that I completely forgot was on my network (it's hidden in my comms cabinet on Apple HomeKit duty). The sign of a true geek when you've got RPi's in the house that you forgot where there lol.

It certainly installs/runs but I've not got any USB tuners to test it with so it's over to the community to test.

To manually install;
Download from the link above
run (as root or sudo) dpkg -i <packagename>.deb

If this is the first time TVHeadend has been installed, you might have to run (as root or sudo) 'apt-get install -f' to fix any dependency issues.

No, the sign of a true geek is bothering to cross-compile some software when you have no hardware to use it with

That's a fair shout

Thank you, everything was very helpful. I was able to install tvheadend using the thread above
