Tvheadend

Run tvheadend with the --noacl option & add an account (restart without --noacl afterwards).

Or create a backdoor superuser.

How you start it?
Is there command line?

tvheadend -C

  -C, --firstrun              If no user account exists then create one with
                              no username and no password. Use with care as
                              it will allow world-wide administrative access
                              to your Tvheadend installation until you create or edit
                              the access control from within the Tvheadend web interface.

Usernames I've created before, while accessing webui using tvheadstart -C.
Tried to create superuser - but still dont solve the issue.

I don't get it why accesscontrol is not loading at all.

I can start as a daemon obviously, but as it didn't let me create users, so done that with tvheadend -C option.
Forgot to mention tvh is running as root if that changes anything.

Try switching to the hts user (you can do this on deb using sudo -u hts bash - no clue about fbsd) and touching inside the config/accesscontrol dir. If that fails it's a folder permissions issue.

Good call, but thought of that too, so made all permissions 777 recursively. Out of ideas, really.
