APT Repositories¶
- Table of contents
- APT Repositories
Official¶
Our official repository and packages are provided by Doozer on https://apt.tvheadend.org.
Status¶
10/18/2018 - OK, no reported issues.
Build Types¶
Build Type | Description | Version | Repo Component |
Stable | Latest release and fixes | v4.2.7~githash | stable |
Development | Development builds | v4.3.*~githash | unstable |
Stable is the recommended choice for most people.
Development is for those who want to help develop and test the latest code.
But, where's release?!
We've decided not to offer "frozen" builds anymore, this is so that people get fixes much sooner. Those that are currently using release can modify their apt sources to stable, or continue as they are now, and move when they feel ready.
Supported Distros and Architectures¶
Distro | Code-name | Architectures | Notes |
Debian Stretch 9 | stretch | amd64, i386 | None |
Debian Jessie 8 | jessie | amd64, i386 | See footnote 11 |
Ubuntu Bionic 18.04 | bionic | amd64, i386 | None |
Ubuntu Xenial 16.04 | xenial | amd64, i386, arm64 | See footnote 11 - applies to arm64 only |
Ubuntu Trusty 14.04 | trusty | amd64, i386 | None |

Usage¶
Here are some copy/paste examples on how to use the repo that should work for most2.
1. Install Required Packages and add the Repository PGP key¶
sudo apt-get -y install coreutils wget apt-transport-https lsb-release ca-certificates sudo wget -qO- https://doozer.io/keys/tvheadend/tvheadend/pgp | sudo apt-key add -
2 We assume you have sudo installed. If not, and you're root, you can omit sudo, otherwise please ask your administrator to..
apt-get install sudo; usermod -aG sudo <your account name>
-
2. Create/Add the Sources List¶
Raspbian users (and anyone else who can't install/use lsb-release) please see the third footnote3.
Stable:
sh -c 'echo "deb https://apt.tvheadend.org/stable $(lsb_release -sc) main" | tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tvheadend.list'
Unstable:
sh -c 'echo "deb https://apt.tvheadend.org/unstable $(lsb_release -sc) main" | tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tvheadend.list'
3 Unfortunately you won't be able to use the command, at least not in the way it's shown, you need to replace " $(lsb_release -sc)" with "raspbian-stretch", "raspbian-jessie" or your distros code-name.
3001 Examples..
echo "deb http://apt.tvheadend.org/stable raspbian-jessie main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tvheadend.list echo "deb http://apt.tvheadend.org/stable raspbian-stretch main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tvheadend.list
3002 Tip: If you want to use unstable, simply replace stable with unstable.

3. Update Sources and Install¶
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install tvheadend
Tip: On some installs (generally fresh ones) you might be asked to enter some details. If you'd like to reconfigure these details later, you can run..
sudo dpkg-reconfigure tvheadendand afterwards..
sudo service tvheadend restart
Job done!
Help¶
Please open an issue or join the IRC channel to report problems with the official repository.
Third-party¶
Third-party repositories are provided as-is and supported by the person who manages them, we cannot guarantee that we'll be able to help with issues relating to the use of these packages/repositories. The older official Bintray is exempt from this (Yes we know it's not technically third party ).
In any case we'll try our best to help, or point you to where you can get some!
(Older) Official Bintray¶
This is our older official Bintray repository, packages are built using Doozer, the repository itself is provided by Bintray via https://bintray.com/tvheadend.
What Happened to the Bintray Repository?¶
Unfortunately due to rate-limiting we've decided to phase-out (SLOWLY) the use of Bintray. Don't worry the repository won't be disappearing4, it just won't be updated as often :(.
If you would like to use old instructions they can be viewed here
4 mpmc's third-party Bintray repository will still be updated regularly, so Raspbian users don't panic - see the link above for usage. However, it's now recommended that you use the official repo
