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
