Hello,

I built a deb package on my armhf board (CubieBoard 1) running Debian Jessie. You can find it in attachement (SHA1 checksum is : 761e72965eb9a6d3ef3dd8d95a3ebe5f3c2e83fc ).

I downloaded source here : [[https://github.com/tvheadend/tvheadend/releases/tag/v4.2.1]] and used command line given above to build it :

AUTOBUILD_CONFIGURE_EXTRA=--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\ --disable-ffmpeg_static\ --enable-hdhomerun_static\ --enable-dvbcsa\ --enable-bundle ./Autobuild.sh 

Be warned that I didn't installed it on my board as 4.1 build works great (and I spent too much time to break it one more time ^_ ).

So if you try it successfully please be kind to report it here.

Enjoy!

Hello,

So I finally install my build (via dpkg) upon 4.1 version. Everything went straight and I didn't loose anything.

If someone else try it, please report here. I may apply to tvheadend team for official build.

Enjoy!

I'm currently working on stop-gap (until doozer has support) builds for Raspbian using a spare Pi of mine - I'll try to upload them to bintray once I'm happy with the way they're built.

Enjoy!

That would be great! Thanks for your support.

Trying to install on a Pi3 I get the following error:

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of tvheadend:

I guess you have to install dvb-apps. I thought dpkg includes dependencies.
Sorry for inconvenience.

Enjoy!

Hello Lionel,

First, i would like to tanks you for your jod, very helpful.
Second, I'm French so excuse my English some time..:)
Third :

I'm running my pi3 with Osmc kodi 17.1
I have successfully installed tvheadend 4.1-2332
I'm using it to stream and record iptv only, I don't have any dvb card connected

I'm facing a problem with that version, some time (randomly) the stream goes to 0 and I have to switch the channel to another and back to have the stream back. If I'm recording the stream, the record goes to the end with no errors but I'm missing all from the freeze ... Look's like bug #3843.

So I've decided to install 4.2 with dpkg and the deb you give. I have installed dvb-apps so everything's goes well on the installation.

BUT after the install I have no acces to tvheadend neither by html 9981 or frontend 9982.
My browser respond me that the server refused the connection

So I'm stuck at that point..

Hopefully I've done a copy of my SD before attempting that so I can revert back. I have done to unsuccefull try this morning.

If you have any suggest, I'll be glad to hear from you about

Thanks again

Hello Philippe,

I'm French too so I guess we should understand our english mistakes.

I think you're streaming Free IPTV streams right ? I tried before switching to another ISP but really shortly and on tvheadend-4.1 version so I can't help you here.

About your tvheadend issue : is your tvheadend service running ("service tvheadend status" on command line)? Can you stop it and launch tvheadend on command line to see if you have warnings or errors? Had you created some users to access tvheadend?

Enjoy!

No it's not free iptv,

And about tvheadend 4.2 installation, I have done like you, I've installed it over 4.1

Yes tvheadend is up, I can stop and start without error..

And do I have to recreate users since I installed over 4.1 ?

No you don't have to recreate users.

Can you stop the tvheadend service and change "TVH_DEBUG" argument to "1" on "/etc/default/tvheadend" and share restart log?

Enjoy!

I have the same issue, the service does not start even when executing sudo /etc/init.d/tvheadend start

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo /etc/init.d/tvheadend start
[ ok ] Starting tvheadend (via systemctl): tvheadend.service.

I confirmed not running with top command.
So localhost:9981 will not load

dpkg -l | grep ii | less
Shows installed package
ii tvheadend 4.2.1 armhf Tvheadend

Nothing appears in the log when restart the pi or when executing sudo /etc/init.d/tvheadend start

Can you try to launch it with command line I gave before? Is there an error (missing library or something)?

I suspect that my .deb didn't ask for dependecies as pakages are installed on my board. I'm new in building package so maybe I missed an argument.

If someone could check my building command line a tell me if something is wrong.

Enjoy!

What command line is that Lionel?

I forgot that I deleted it before posting in a previous message (once I saw the DEBUG in /etc/default file), sorry.

Here it is : stop tvheadend service (if it's runing then launch as root "tvheadend -u hts -d"

Enjoy!

tvheadend -u hts -d
tvheadend: error while loading shared libraries: libiconv.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

So I successfully install libiconv by:
sudo apt-get install libiconv

But still error while loading shared libraries: libiconv.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I do find libiconv.so.2 in /usr/local/lib however.

Perhaps this helps?

Maybe you also need the "libav" package to be installed.

Here are package I had to install to build from sources :
For building : build-essential git pkg-config libssl-dev bzip2 wget debhelper gettext libavahi-client-dev git-core liburiparser-dev cmake
For dependecies : libdvbcsa-dev libav-tools libiconv libavcodec-dev

Maybe you need one of them to be installed t ohave tvheadend working properly.

Enjoy!

EDIT : here are dependencies I have for my tvheadend install

 apt-cache depends tvheadend
tvheadend
  Dépend: libavahi-client3
  Dépend: libavahi-common3
  Dépend: libc6
  Dépend: libdbus-1-3
  Dépend: libdvbcsa1

I got v4.2.1 working on the Pi3!

Here is the steps I used. Some may or may not be necessary but it now works.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install dvb-tools
dpkg -i /location of saved deb file in the post above/tvheadend_4.2.1_armhf.deb
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libiconv
sudo apt-get install build-essential git pkg-config libssl-dev bzip2 wget
sudo apt-get install libavahi-client-dev zlib1g-dev libavcodec-dev libavutil-dev libavformat-dev libswscale-dev
sudo apt-get install build-essential git pkg-config libssl-dev bzip2 wget debhelper gettext libavahi-client-dev git-core liburiparser-dev cmake
the following steps resets TVHeadend to default if it was installed over a previous version. I found this was necessary.
sudo /etc/init.d/tvheadend stop
sudo rm -rf /home/hts/.hts/tvheadend/
sudo dpkg-reconfigure tvheadend
sudo /etc/init.d/tvheadend start

Thanks Lionel! Great work!

I've complied 4.3-150~g54e63e3 (25/5/17) for the Raspberry pi, installed and successfully tested it.
If anyone's interested in trying it let me know and I'll upload it.

Please upload it. I tried 4.2.1 and is not working in my RPI2, if possible with some instructions :-)

thanks

Attached is 4.3-150~g54e63e3_armhf.deb for Raspberry Pi that I compiled this evening and tested. It is the development master branch release for today (25/5/17)

To install-
sudo dpkg -i /location folder of saved deb file/tvheadend_4.3-150~g54e63e3_armhf.deb

To start TvHeadend for the first time-
sudo /etc/init.d/tvheadend start

If asks to dvb-tools before installation-
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install dvb-tools

If Tvheadend doesn't start to see what dependencies are missing-
tvheadend -u hts -d

And follow the instructions in my post above to install the missing files.

If all the dependencies are installed and still doesn't start, reset the config files to default-
sudo /etc/init.d/tvheadend stop
sudo rm -rf /home/hts/.hts/tvheadend/
sudo dpkg-reconfigure tvheadend
sudo /etc/init.d/tvheadend start

Let me know how it goes!

Hi.

I had to reinstall it in a fresh raspbian-lite image, I followed all steps since begining, then your steps in previous post and it worked...thanks a lot.

Glad to hear it worked.

Hello World!

If someone wants the 4.2.2 build, just ask. I have it running on my CubieBoard.

Enjoy!

Attached is v4.3-184 the development build from the master branch dated 31/5/17. Tested working okay on my Pi3.
