Android Build update?

Added by Slik vik over 8 years ago

Hi

I noticed on the front page that you say TVHeadend is a TV Steaming server supporting Linux, BSD and Android.

What's the current state of the Android version?

I've been searching elsewhere and can't seem to find anything that isn't device specific (Wetek, Shield), needs patching & building or has trouble detecting TV devices.

I've got a HDHomerun and would love to ditch the server!

In order to run Tvheadend for android you need:
1. Android version 5.1 and up
2. Compile libssl, libdvbcsa, libcrypto with SDK of your device
3. after doing this, you need to build tvheadend
I'm using this parameters
--disable-uriparser --disable-avahi --disable-libav --disable-dbus_1 --disable-tvhcsa --enable-dvbcsa --enable-bundle --enable-android --arch=armeabi-v7a --disable-ffmpeg_static --disable-hdhomerun_static --cc=/home/**UserName***/android-toolchain-21/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-gcc

now copy tvheadend executable to your android and run it

Thanks, I'll take a look. What about driver support?

If your kernel doesn't support your device, you need to compile kernel modules and then tvheadend will recognize your device
