h1. ConfigurationOptions h2. Options documentation To see all options, please do a ./configure --help. Many options are self-explanatory others are not. Please feel free to add here. h3. --enable-android Sets up the build for a binary that can run on Android (arm-linux-androideabi-) h3. --enable-avahi Enables the opensource implementation of Apple's zero configuration protocol. For example, a user can plug their computer into a network and have Avahi automatically advertise the network services running on its machine. Avahi's "ihavA" advertisement results in adding user access to printers, files and other networked services. h3. --disable-cardclient For encryption, automatically enabled by cwc or cccam. Tvheadend supports connecting to card clients via the cwc (newcamd) and capmt (linux network dvbapi) protocols for so-called 'softcam' descrambling. One example is the OSCAM package that lets you use your regular CA (Conditional Access) smartcard. h3. --disable-cwc For excryption, disable Code Word Client h3. --disable-cccam For excryption, disable another Code Word Client h3. --disable-dvbscan Stops the inclusion/download of scan files. Digital TV scan tables. h3. --disable-libopus Disables the Opus encoding audio format. Unclear who uses it h3. --disable-libvorbis Disables the Ogg/Vorbis encoding audio format. h3. --disable-linuxdvb Disable linuxdvb in case you use iptv only. h3. --disable-satip_server --disable-satip_client Sat>IP allows the satellite TV distribution to share a data network and enables display and viewing of the signals on any multimedia IP device equipped with suitable software. A Sat>IP server receives satellite signals and distributes them to IP-connected clients, such as PCs, Tablets or smartphones. h3. --disable-timeshift Disable timeshift or the ability to pause a programme you view for later viewing. h3. --disable-zlib In case you do not have zlib and cannot install it. It is used for compression of web content (on the fly) when serving static pages. It's also used in the file bundling builds where the bundled resources may in fact be compressed in the bundle and some will need decompressing before they can be used. But if you disable zlib the bundle will simply not be compressed. h3. --disable-pie Disable Position Independent Executables whatever that is. h3. --enable-ccdebug **Unclear h3. --disable-capmt Tvheadend support connecting to card clients via the capmt protocol for so called softcam descrambling. This option disables that h3. --disable-constcw ConstantCW(BISS). Presumably yet another descrambling method. h3. --disable-satipserver Disable the ability to work as a SAT IP server, serving SAT IP Clients. h3. --disable-satipclient Disable the ability to work as a SAT IP client, receiving data from SAT IP Servers. h3. --enable-hdhomerun_client Presumably the ability to use a remote HDHomerun tuner, such as the SiliconDust one h3. --disable-hdhomerun_static No idea, but I had to add this for it to build :) h3. --disable-iptv Removes support for iptv in case you do ot need it h3. --disable-tsfile Presumably related to support for .ts files (transport stream) h3. --disable-timeshift Disables the ability to pause running (not recorded) programmes h3. --disable-trace Presumably disables debug tracing h3. --disable-libav Install libffmpeg-devel from Packman, and related ones as libavcodec-devel. Will build completely without libav/ffmpeg support, you'd be missing support for many codecs then though or --enable-libffmpeg_static (to use the included ffmpeg) to configure h3. --disable-ffmpeg_static Do not link ffmpeg statically. Load dynamically h3. --disable-libx264, --disable-libx264_static, --disable-libx265, --disable-libx265_static,--disable-libvpx, --disable-libvpx_static, --disable-libtheora,--disable-libtheora_static, --disable-libvorbis, --disable-libvorbis_static These all disable various decoders and/or tell tvheadend whether to use statically or dynamically h3. --enable-nvenc Enable the NVENC (Nvidia) decoder
