How to update to most recent version?

Added by Henrik NoName over 6 years ago

Hi folks,

sorry for the maybe somewhat "noobish" question: But how do i update TVHeadend to the most recent (stable?) Version?
I currently use TVHeadend on a virtual Linux machine (Ubuntu Server i guess) in Version "HTS Tvheadend 4.2.5-14~g1665c35" (About Page).
So far i'm quite happy with TVHeadend, despite of some issues with the OTA EPG. Therefore before posting the issue, i want to make sure that i use the most recent version.

I've read about the sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade commands, but this won't change the version above. But according to the main page the current version is 4.3.X?
Or is this a nightly which shouldn't be used "productive"? As you might imagined: I'm not so into Linux (like it, but need some learning).

I appreciate any help with info about which version to use and how to install (update) it.

Thanks!

Hi,

thanks for the link. Unfortunately as described i've got only very basic linux knowledge. If i understand this correctly, the linked post describes how to build the new Version from scratch?
I'll only be able to C&P all the commands without knowing what they are doing.
Isn't there an easier way to update?

Best regards

Hotkey

It's for beginners with not scared to try ;)

$ git clone -b release/4.2 https://github.com/tvheadend/tvheadend.git
$ sudo apt install build-essential git libpcre2-dev pkg-config libssl-dev bzip2 wget libavahi-client-dev zlib1g-dev libavcodec-dev libavutil-dev libavformat-dev libswscale-dev libavresample-dev gettext cmake libiconv-hook-dev liburiparser-dev debhelper libcurl4-gnutls-dev 
$ cd tvheadend
$ ./Autobuild.sh

Thanks, i'll get a shovel and dig into it :-)
But one question from your commands: This would clone the 4.2 git repo, but i actually allready have the 4.2 version?
Is this correct anyway?

Hi again,

Thanks again for your help!

Same question - how do we update?

I am running TVH on a raspberry pi 3 that is running LibreELEC. This is a headless system (server). I am running 4.2.2-32. How do i update?

You have to wait for LE to update their version in their Kodi repo. That's one of the downsides to using LE.
