Tvheadend

Okay, I think I'll take that back. The errors near the bottom probably need some fixing. Can anyone take a moment to help me along? Thank you very much.

I realize that I don't have my tuner stick installed at this point. I'm moving through this one step at a time.

I'm pretty sure 'tvheadend' is running. When I use the 'top' or 'ps' commands I see this is the list:

14674 admin 103m S tvheadend

and I do see the following entries when I type in netstat -l -tu -nW but I don't quite know why it would be 0.0.0.0?


tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:9981 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:9982 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN


Use -b --bindaddr. See --help

After using the advice above, "netstat" now shows LISTENING on 192.168.2.1:9981 and 9982 but still no webUI. There must be something else in there blocking the browser connection to the webUI.

Any suggestion on how to find the roadblock? or at least narrow down why the page isn`t loading?

I added a rule to the iptables using the following with no change in behavior:
iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 9981 -j ACCEPT

Same result: When tvheadend is running, I get a blank loading page until I kill tvheadend at which point Firefox reports back "Unable to connect" and stops trying to load the page.

Hi,

I had similar problem with TBS MOI+, my ip range was 192.168.2.x but in TvHeadend config there was 192.168.1.x for some reason.
It was some time ago, don't rember conf file name location.
It edited this UI value:
https://tvheadend.org/projects/tvheadend/wiki/Access_configuration

In your case, you may have similar problem ....

Based on Ivan's comment, I tried finding any file with "192.168.1" using the following. It takes forever as I can't figure out how to exclude binaries with my versions of grep and find. In the end, nothing came up after about an hour so I aborted the search.

find / -exec grep -i "192.168.1" {} +

I also repeated the search on the USB drive only using admin@RT-AC68U:/tmp/mnt/EXT4_USB# find -exec grep -i "192.168.1" {} + Nothing was found.

Any chance that I'm missing something stupidly simple? Maybe I'm starting/running TH without the correct permissions or something else simple that a Linux noob might overlook? Permissions and users and groups is one aspect of linux that I'm still grappling with.

.

If rember right, it is in:
/.hts/tvheadend/accesscontrol/

Thanks Ivar. Here is the contents of the only file in that directory (a9147a396d1ad251e0500de6af4e69cc)

Do you think the prefix value needs to be changed?

All seems ok in that file.
You should have somehting else, have you tried to turn off router firewall ?

Tried switching off the router firewall via the router webUI and turning off Windows firewall too just in case. Unfortunately, there was no change in behavior. Thank you for the suggestion though.

That just means it is listening on all addresses instead of a specific address.

I would guess that means you actually are connecting, just not getting anything from tvheadend.

Did you try a netstat command while the browser was connecting?

netstat -antW |grep 9981

 tcpdump -nn tcp port 9981

How about a trace log:

tvheadend -d --noacl --trace

Solved: Thanks to one of the users at SmallNetBuilder:ASUSWRT forum!

I hadn't created a swap file which my hardware requires. My interpretation of insignificant errors was incorrect.

One step closer. Now just have to setup the hardware. (Hauppauge 950Q)
Thank you everyone for your help.

Nice to hear.

Once you get running ok, it would be nice if you write minimal guide how to get running ...

Hi,

Have you managed to setup the hardware? I have the same router and have a similar Hauppauge tuner which already works on a rpi2 but I'm clueless on how to configure it on the router...
