Description
Hello, How can i change default port 9981 on tvheadend 4.3-1288~g66d6161-dirty (ubuntu 16.04.4)
With older tvheadend version I could easly change port by changing it in vi /etc/default/tvheadend and after service tvheadend restart, port was successfuly changed, but on this version above isnot working.
Also I tryed with "tvheadend --http_port 9983" but no success.

If you read /etc/default/tvheadend you need to edit either OPTIONS="-C -u hts -g video" if you're using systemd or TVH_ARGS="" at the bottom if sysvinit.

Thanks for your help. I just added --http_port 9983 to OPTIONS="-u hts -g video", saved and restarted tvheadend.
Now i can access to tvheadend on http://ipaddress:9983
