Tvheadend

Do you try with superuser?

Thanks for the hint. I just stopped the "tvheadend" service via "systemctl" and started "tvheadend" as "root" from the command line and it worked. I could access the admin interface. There is obviously an issue with the "hts" permissions.

As I use 4.3-2120~g18effa8ad~jammy, I also tried to reinstall the latest ubuntu tvheadend package via "apt reinstall tvheadend". I am still getting 403 errors...

Wrong

ps aux |grep tvheadend

see command with service use to run it.
stop service

sudo command -C

ctrl+c

root@xyz:~# ps aux |grep tvheadend
hts        11716  0.6  1.0 1999464 40384 ?       Ssl  May26   7:15 /usr/bin/tvheadend -f -p /run/tvheadend.pid -u hts -g video

root@xyz:~# systemctl stop tvheadend.service
root@xyz:~# sudo /usr/bin/tvheadend -f -p /run/tvheadend.pid -u hts -g video -C
root@xyz:~# ps aux |grep tvheadend
hts        47925  5.4  0.8 1069396 32248 ?       Ssl  10:34   0:00 /usr/bin/tvheadend -f -p /run/tvheadend.pid -u hts -g video -C

Unfortunately, this also leads to a "403 Forbidden" error after logging in as "admin". So, I can't see the permissions of "admin" in TVH.

With -C you bypass login
then go to your "Admin"account and see it's settings are set OK

Sorry, but -C does not work for me. TVH will anyway ask for credentials and end up in a 403.

However, studying the debug options [[https://docs.tvheadend.org/Appendices/command_line_options/#debug-options]] I found a switch that did the trick for me:

--noacl                 Disable all access control checks

After adding "--noacl" I could log in without credentials and without 403 to fix the permissions.

Sean acro: Thanks for your support!

Did you check the FAQ’s before posting here. All that is explained https://tvheadend.org/projects/tvheadend/wiki/Faq

Well, as initially written I googled about a day before posting, but obviously missed that.

You can nearly be sure that if you experience a problem in TVH someone else has and there’s a solution already out there. A lot of people criticise the documentation but you’ll usually find the answer there.

You need to have a look at the MANY unanswered questions that have been posted on this forum, with people that have problems.
I for one have posted a known BUG issue, with ZERO suggestions on how to solve, by the way the bug was supposedly "fixed" Updated by Jaroslav Kysela over 7 years ago

Status changed from New to Fixed

I believe its fixed in the recent code.

Development of TVH ceased a number of years back. Outside of some maintenance commits little or nothing new has been added. As a result interest in the forum has fallen away too.

Most of the reported problems relate to basic lack of knowledge of the workings of TVH which are easily answered with a search. It’s know what to search for is the trick.
