Tvheadend

Official Apt Repository¶

After a significant break from using our official repository, due to Adam Sutton no longer being actively involved, this has finally be restored. With some slight alterations. There will still be 3 repositories, however the meanings has changed:

• http://apt.tvheadend.org/release - This will contain the latest official / stable release.
• http://apt.tvheadend.org/stable - This will contain a nightly build from the latest release branch. It will pick up fixes in prep. for the next release.
• http://apt.tvheadend.org/unstable - This will contain a nightly build from the development branch (master). It will contain the bleeding edge, but could be potentially unstable.

Usage¶

Before you can use the repositories you probably want to import the GPG signing key:

curl http://apt.tvheadend.org/repo.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -

You will then need to add which ever repository you feel is most appropriate, for example if you want to be cautious and have a reliable system:

sudo apt-add-repository http://apt.tvheadend.org/release
sudo apt-get update

Note: if you install more than one repository you will only ever get packages from the one holding the most recent version number, so the order of priority would be:

unstable > stable > release

You can easily remove a repository though, so should you suddenly come over all crazy and want to live on the edge:

sudo apt-add-repository -r http://apt.tvheadend.org/stable
sudo apt-add-repository http://apt.tvheadend.org/unstable
sudo apt-get update
