Tvheadend

Hello, you can restart tvheadend with the "-C" parameter then connect to the webinterface with no login.
First you have to kill tvheadend from memory with sudo privileges and start it again (tvheadend -C) you can create a new user/password

I have no idea what all that is sorry.

Sorry I've not see that you use tvheadend on a box :(
Are you able to browse files on your libreelec box with your pc ?
If you can the password is stored in /userdata/addon_data/service.tvheadend42/accesscontrole

I can't access the LE box at all from this pc.

Did you try to log in as SSH ?

I have no idea what that is either sorry.

SSH is a secured shell we can connect to it with a terminal client like putty or smartty. With these clients you can log into the system using the root login if it is activated in libreelec options. I will not be able to help you anymore my knowledge is very limited. I have rarely used libreelec but it seems to me that access options are available in kodi no ?
try to see the libreelec forum side.

Do you try RTFM?
Contact LebreElec forum.

Yes as I mentioned in my first post I did search for an answer.
No, the LE forum is useless as well.

I completely un-installed TVHE, and installed a slightly older version, so it'd be a fresh start.
It again asks me for passwords that I do not have.

So really, no mucking around, how the hell do I get this thing to work???

No good.

try this.

echo '{
"username": "temp_admin",
"password": "password" 
}
' > /storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/service.multimedia.tvheadend/superuser

The folder [/storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/service.multimedia.tvheadend] must exist, if it doesn't find it using

cd /storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/

Once you've created the superuser file reboot the machine and try to login using the above info.

Okay I've done that, but I no idea about what to do about the superuser file.

Just did a complete re-install. So far it's going well, I've set up TVHE via the browser and ..... fingers crossed.

Edit - yep that's now working. Ta for all those that helped.

After using it that first time, it's now not working again. I DID NOT CHANGE ANYTHING AT ALL. Not a thing.
I can log in via the browser and everything looks fine. No red ticks or anything.
Any suggestions please??

I got it going again. No real idea how but it works ..... for now.
