Hello,

I have installed version 4.0.9 on Fedora 25 through the rpmfusion rpm.

The process is running:

The problem is that I can not connect to the web interface. It seems tvheadend is not listening on port 9981. Checking with netstat -ltn even proves it does not.

What could be the issue here?

try running it from terminal (as the user you'd normally run it as) & check the output. omit the -g,-u and -f args.

Ok, so this is the result:

[yves@localhost ~]$ sudo -u tvheadend /usr/bin/tvheadend -p /var/run/tvheadend.pid -c /var/lib/tvheadend/config -6 -C --http_port 9981 --htsp_port 9982

is there a same problem?

He could also try changing the ports to something else.

I tried with different port parameters, and without the --http_port and --htsp_port, with no difference. The problem still occurs.

I wonder if this error does not explain why it does not work:

2017-01-26 21:51:10.915 [  ERROR] upnp: upnp_thread_unicast - failed to create socket [Address family not supported by protocol]

Note that ipv6 is disabled on my system (by passing ipv6.disable=1 as kernel parameter)

Bingo...

After removing ipv6.disable=1 and rebooting, Tvheadend works.

Is that a bug or a feature? :-)

Clearly a bug, please open an issue.
