Already support it.

Autobuild is not working.

When using

./Autobuild.sh -t bionic-amd64

dpkg-checkbuilddeps: error: Unmet build dependencies: python-requests
dpkg-buildpackage: warning: build dependencies/conflicts unsatisfied; aborting
dpkg-buildpackage: warning: (Use -d flag to override.)

python-requests package is absent in Ubuntu 20.04

I tried to install it via

apt install python2
curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py --output get-pip.py
python2 get-pip.py
pip install requests

But that does not help.

Maybe someone have any fixes?

I can't find where to modify script so it would not check for this dependency.

Also, when building latest 4.3 there was break, which is fixed by this modification in the source code of

.../build.linux/ffmpeg/build/ffmpeg/include/libavutil/mem.h

https://tvheadend.org/boards/4/topics/24116

Thank you!

Found myself, that dependency check for python-requests package is in this file in lines 5 and 11:

.../debian/control

Don't know for now if `pip install requests` was needed.

Use manual install
https://packages.ubuntu.com/eoan/all/python-requests/download

or maby

pip3 install requests --user

I did

pip3 install requests

I'm running into the same issue on Ubuntu 20.04. I see a few new commits into master but nothing that seems to remedy this yet.

How about all the commits that mention support for focal?

Looks like this commit got things farther:
https://github.com/tvheadend/tvheadend/pull/1338

The new error is:

/home/raccettura/tvheadend/build.linux/ffmpeg/build/ffmpeg/include/libavutil/mem.h:342:1: error: ‘alloc_size’ attribute ignored on a function returning ‘int’ [-Werror=attributes]
  342 | av_alloc_size(2, 3) int av_reallocp_array(void *ptr, size_t nmemb, size_t size);

That is ffmpeg source failing to build. Not sure if that is even addressable from the TVH end of things. One might need to go to ffmpeg and submit a bug that it fails to build on 20.04. Pretty sure it's something they would address quickly. Perhaps TVH build source may need to be set to pull in a new ffmpeg version???

New version is planned, it's still in the test phase to make sure it doesn't cause any issues. Should be merged in the next few days.

Thanks. I'll stay tuned to retest.

Builds successfully now.

Thanks!
