IPv6 accessing web interface on port 9981 and htsp 9982

Added by Marc Ominus over 6 years ago

Is there plan to implement support for IPv6 in TVHeadEnd.

I have just tried accessing the web interface on all of the 3 IPv6 addresses my machine has assigned and none works ..
IPv4 works great.

I have 4.2.6-7~g561355130~stretch running on 4.9.0-6-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.88-1+deb9u1 (2018-05-07) x86_64 GNU/Linux

Are you starting Tvheadend with IPv6 support? Add the -6 command line option when starting Tvheadend and it ought to start listening on your IPv6 interfaces ...

I have installed the TVHeadEnd from bintray.com repo,
so how would I add support for IPv6?

Where would be the best place to add -6?

Here?
sudo cat /etc/init.d/tvheadend

ARGS="-f"
[ -z "$TVH_USER" ] || ARGS="$ARGS -u $TVH_USER"
[ -z "$TVH_GROUP" ] || ARGS="$ARGS -g $TVH_GROUP"
[ -z "$TVH_CONF_DIR" ] || ARGS="$ARGS -c $TVH_CONF_DIR"
[ -z "$TVH_ADAPTERS" ] || ARGS="$ARGS -a $TVH_ADAPTERS"
[ "$TVH_IPV6" = "1" ] && ARGS="$ARGS -6"
[ -z "$TVH_HTTP_PORT" ] || ARGS="$ARGS --http_port $TVH_HTTP_PORT"
[ -z "$TVH_HTTP_ROOT" ] || ARGS="$ARGS --http_root $TVH_HTTP_ROOT"

Where, wherever the environment variables that govern your Tvheadend installation are set, you obviously need to set TVH_IPV6 to 1, as there is a line in that startup script that will enable IPv6 if it's set:

[ "$TVH_IPV6" = "1" ] && ARGS="$ARGS -6"

That line says "check if ${TVH_IPV6} is set to 1, and if it is, add -6 to the list of arguments passed to Tvheadend at startup." So, wherever you are setting ${TVH_USER}, ${TVH_GROUP}, and all those other settings, in the same place set ${TVH_IPV6} to 1.

I am confused with your answer to my question, as I am not really technically minded
see below output of my "/etc/init.d/tvheadend":

And it looks like IPv6 is enabled but TVHeadEnd is ignoring it ...

Or is it somewhere else I need to set the -6 parameter?

RE: IPv6 accessing web interface on port 9981 and htsp 9982 - Added by Robert Cameron over 6 years ago

The lines that matter are:

...
NAME="tvheadend" 
...
[ -r /etc/default/$NAME ] && . /etc/default/$NAME
...
[ "$TVH_IPV6" = "1" ] && ARGS="$ARGS -6"

So, look for the file /etc/default/tvheadend. If it doesn't exist, create it:
# touch /etc/default/tvheadend

Then, in that file add a line setting the ${TVH_IPV6} variable:
# echo "TVH_IPV6=1" >> /etc/default/tvheadend

Now you can restart Tvheadend, and it'll pick up the new settings you just created. If you don't want to run those commands as root and would rather use sudo to execute them, then you can do:
$ sudo touch /etc/default/tvheadend
$ echo "TVH_IPV6=1" | sudo tee -a /etc/default/tvheadend

Thank you, IPv6 is on :)
