VMware + Ubuntu 12.10 + Tvheadend +HDHomeRun

Added by Matthew McIntyre almost 12 years ago

I'm having an issue with no services showing in TVHeadend. I'll give you a little background first.

I don't have a dedicated linux box so i'm using VMware 8.0 with Ubuntu 12.10 installed. I am running Openelec 2.0 on my AMD fusion HTPC and have no issues with tvheadend 3.2.18 running on that, but i'm not going to be running Openelec soon so that's why I need this VMware box working for TVheadend. This is the first time installing TVheadend on a dedicated linux system so I followed the Comprehensive guide to installing tvheadend on Ubuntu with a HDHomeRun. Everything went smooth and I thought all was well but I just can't get TVheadend to pull any services when scanning.

TVHeadend - 3.2.34
VMware - 8.0
Ubuntu - 12.10
HDHomeRun -HDHR3-US

I have no issues using the HDhomeRun software on the Ubuntu box and pulling up video with VLC.

This is what the Web UI looking like with debug enabled

It will finish the scanning of Mux's but the services section shows 0.

I ran w_scan from terminal and everything looks fine

I'm not sure if the issue is with TVHeadend, DVBhdhomerun driver or with me running this within VMware.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thank you
