Tvheadend

Hi,
Did you install/build from source/GIT, or did you use a prebuild package? ( like for debian or ubuntu?)

Alex.

I used a package using apt-get install... don't remember the exact package right now. I updated apt first, so it should have been current/up-to-date.

I'm running Ubuntu Minimal (CLI only) 12.10 (IIRC - I'm not at home right now) with XBMC Frodo RC3.

Ok, running something like:

apt-cache show tvheadend

should give the information about the version. If in doubt about what the package is called, use apt-cache search tvheadend to determine the exact packagename.

Well, not necessarily. There are some pre-packaged builds for ubuntu which are very old, so you need to add the newest from Adam's repository:

Just a quick note, this is better:

dpkg -l | grep tvheadend

Because it shows what is actually installed.

"apt-cache show tvheadend" shows the version contained in whatever your repositories point at. So if you've pointed them at somewhere else since installation, or installed the program from a package you've downloaded, it wouldn't show the correct version.
