Tvheadend

Tvheadends configuration is not really designed to do this.
You can look at the JSON files stored in $HOME/.hts/tvheadend if you want to.

Hi,

Is there a way to configure tvheadend without WebInterface? I would like to select from available TV adapters, add dvb network by location and map dvb services to channels.

Do I have to write some scripts to do that for me? How?

I would really appreciate your help.

Could you please explain why you would like to do this? What is preventing you from using a web browser to access the web configuration page that is build into tvheadend?

We would like to implement this in XBMC so user could easily change TV adapter, change satelite, muxes...

since the web interface is using extjs, there is something like a rest api.

you can use GET to retrieve lists of json objects and use POST to update them.

I've written a "it work's for me" perl script to configure tvheadend from scratch. it' adds only the muxes for the channels I watch and of course adds the channels and does the proper numbering. I can provide the code as is if needed.

But maybe for a more mature integration in xbmc, htsp protocol has to be extended....

Who are "we"?
And why can't you show the tvheadend web gui in a frame within an xbmc configuration page?

Also, how often would you change the tvheadend configuration? Usually when you add a new adapter, or make some other changes thatwould also involve work on the tvheadend server it self. Muxes are usually found automatically on a properly working dvb network .... So how often would you make changes?

But, i can understand the need, so if you,would liketo have an option remotly configure tvheadend then I would suggest you come up with a proposal so that we can evaluate it.

Muxes are usually found automatically on a properly working dvb network

TVHeadend found a lot of garbage between 10-12 Mhz and interpreted this as QPSK-Muxes so the automatic detection is not a real solution (in fact of the cable network of my town/provider). I had to add new muxes manually. Maybe the delivering of VOIP/DSL, analog TV and other services over the same cable is the reason for that.

Tvheadend is not finding it by it self. There are three ways that tvheadend is using the information about muxes.

1: mux information contained in the initial scaning files of the dvb-apps project (compiled into the tvheadend binary)
2: via automatic mux discovery.Every mux that gets added by automatic mux discovery is added based on the information contained in the NIT table.
3: manually added by the user.

So if "garbage" is added than it cam from one of these 3 sources. If it was added based on automatci mux discovery,, the the NIT tables contain garbage, and you do not have a "properly working" dvb network.

And that's is what I would say. By the way, it makes sense scanning muxes round about 11...12 Mhz.
