TVHEADEND ERROR config: uknown subsystem 'f'

Added by Senufo Senufo over 7 years ago

I have a problem with the latest version of TVHEADEND I have this error message when I run tvheadend with these options:

Tvheadend --debug -f --noacl

2017-02-21 14: 55: 10.199 [ERROR] config: uknown subsystem 'f'

Otherwise TVHEADEND focntionne correctemment but I can not run it in background

I think this is a concern with my compilation options :

It's assuming that -f is a debug subsystem. This is because you can use + or - before a value to indicate whether or not you want that subsystem debugged.

The simple solution would be to move -f before --debug or replace it with --fork.

Thanks.
This actually works if I run tvheadend with systemd as root and the command:

/usr/bin/tvheadend -f -p /run/tvheadend.pid -C -u hts -g video

On the other hand as user "hts" TVHEADEND does not launch and I have no error message, it works by removing the "-f" option!

Is it possible to run TVHEADEND as a daemon as a simple user?

RE: TVHEADEND ERROR config: uknown subsystem 'f' - Added by Joe User over 7 years ago

If you are running as a "regular user" you will not have permission to change which user/group tvheadend runs as. (unless of course it is already the user/group you are logged in as...)

It should probably print an error telling you this instead of just dying, but it doesn't...

If you want it to run from user hts, you can add the hts user to the video group and then run tvheadend without the user/group options.

usermod -a -G video hts

RE: TVHEADEND ERROR config: uknown subsystem 'f' - Added by Senufo Senufo over 7 years ago

I added the video group to the hts user but TVHEADEND still does not launch with the -f option as a simple user !!
I have no error message

On the other hand I launch TVHEADEND as user hts if I do not have the option -f

/usr/bin/tvheadend
