Tvheadend

Are you sure tuner is working?
what is result from:

dmesg | grep dvb
dmesg | grep firmware
dmesg | grep frontend

Like I said when running the compiled version in opensuse 13.1 everything works. When I stop the compiled version and start tvheadend service (no reboot) I don't have any adapters (no adapters shown in TV adapters list of web view). Going back to the compiled version of tvheadend everything works again. I can watch tv switch channels etc.
I will show you the output of dmesg tonight.

the tvheadend 4.0.9 build myself runs fine on opensuse 13.1. When I run the packman installed package I don't have any tv adapters listed

Are you sure that you don't have any problem?

Thans for your feedback.
I am using adapter 0 and 1 (DiBcom 700PC). I have used Hauppauge WinTV-HVR1300 in the past but I have not actively maintained this one at the moment. All three adapters are actually shown in the compiled version of tvheadend 4.0.9. I am 100% sure adapter 0 and 1 are working.

Hauppauge Nova-TD-500 is a dual tuner (acting as a usb tv adapter).
Hauppauge WinTV-HVR1300 DVB-T/Hybrid MPEG Encoder is a hybrid card with dvb-t input and analog tv-in.

And here is the status of tvheadend that I build myself.
All working fine.
I just want to understand what needs to be done for the tvheadend package to work. Should I install additional software, libraries do I need packages like dvt-channels?

I have installed opensuse leap on another partition (upgrade). Compiling failed on Leap so I wanted to give the packman tvheadend package a chance. Unfortunately there is no manual or help of how to achieve this.
There are subtle differences with the package. Tvheadend runs as service under a username. Config is installed under user tvheadend and all files have rights (user:group) bin:bin. Who can give me some directions?

Install debian/ubuntu and read wiki steps
https://tvheadend.org/projects/tvheadend/wiki/Building

Are you absolutely certain that the user and group for the user running the binaries is the same between the packaged version and the version you built yourself?

Use...

ps aux | grep tvheadend

...whilst running each version to confirm the users are the same.

If both are using the same user and group then the config will be identical between the two (when you start up both versions, is the web interface available, is the configuration in the web ui the same between the two versions?)

Double-check your user has access to the Video group (or whatever group your distro uses for access to DVB video devices)

The packaged version (packman opensuse) creates a user "tvheadend" and a sub folder Config with tvheadend configuration details. And it created a user hts. I think tvheadend service is started with -u hts -g hts and -c /home/tvheadend/Config. I have not modified these users. This might be necessary to get access to the adapters.

The tvheadend executable I build myself is started under user xbmc (group users). I use "tvheadend -C" so that I don't need a user name and password to get access to the web interface. The executable works flawlessly.

So different users are used between packaged version and executable. I tried changing service startup and used user: xbmc with no luck.

OK things are working now. User configurations: hts:video tvheadend:users xbmc:users,video
I changed the startup of tvheadend to -u hts -g hts and kept -c /home/tvheadend/Config

hts has got access to video and tvheadend has not. Everything now works as expected.
Thank you very much for your help

Great!

• The drivers aren't installed (which you proved wasn't the case as they were visible in one instance of TVH but not the other) or
• Permissions

Glad it's sorted for you.

I still had the problem that web end changes were lost after tvheadend service had been restarted.
the service was running under user hts, the configuration stored under tvheadend (with bin:bin rights). I moved the configuration to hts and changed the file rights to hts:video (changes tvheadend startup parameter to -c /home/hts/config). This works fine for me.

Where would you need a separate tvheadend "user" for?
