Ubuntu 22.04 LTS-TV Headend installation options

Added by Jonas Lang about 2 years ago

Just finished migrating from Ubuntu 18.04 LTS to Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and I'm looking at options for installing TVH. First thing that struck me was the use of Snap to install TVH. Just as a test I ran the installation using Snap and ended up with a version of TVH 4.2.8 Dirty. Odd name. I noticed that TVH was installed as root and was buried behind the Snap package manager without the ease of use I experienced using the Debian package manager in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

All appeared to be working but I was experiencing issues adding an IPTV m3u playlist. The Config wizard froze when scanning the NASA TV entry and I had to resort to uninstalling/reinstalling TVH and start all over again to resolve this.

My question at this stage is there a recent Debian package available I can use to install TVH. My previous version of TVH on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS was 4.2.28. With some research I've come across this version from Michael Marley listed as TVH 4.2.3 https://launchpad.net/~mamarley/+archive/ubuntu/tvheadend-git
I'm a little confused with these different sources and the versioning numbers used. I've never really had any luck building TVH so I'd prefer to use a Debian package that has been recently maintained.

I have also tried to update my running 4.2.8 installation without success.
I used the new installation instructions regarding the cloudsmith repositories, but it does not work.
Searching manually through https://cloudsmith.io/~tvheadend/repos/tvheadend/packages/ I found the reason.
In cloudsmith repository are "thousands" of different versions for a lot of distributions including Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy, but NOT for amd64. This particular version is missing.
Is there a technical reason why the jammy-amd64 package does not exist in cloudsmith?

Have you tried removing your current TVH installation first before attempting to install latest.

sudo apt remove tvheadend

All you configuration should remain in place giving you the latest version

Jammy was indeed missing for amd64 but it's currently being built, so it should become available shortly.

Confirmed now installed HTS Tvheadend 4.3-2070~g2beb6c9c8.

Needed to remove the previous sources.list entries in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/, add the new repository, remove the old install and re-install. Can confirm it kept my configs in place.

1. Remote sources.list

2. Install via:

curl -1sLf \
'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/tvheadend/tvheadend/setup.deb.sh' \ | sudo -E bash

3. apt remove tvheadend

4. apt install tvheadend
