changed from svn to git.
This article describes how to build Tvheadend from source
Make sure you have avahi and git installed, these are required to build Tvheadend
# emerge -av avahi git
now create the following directories
mkdir -p /opt/tvheadend/src
now you need to fetch the Tvheadend source code using git
git clone https://github.com/andoma/tvheadend.git /opt/tvheadend/src/
now you need to prepare the Tvheadend source code
cd /opt/tvheadend/src ./configure --prefix=/opt/tvheadend
if all went well you can compile the Tvheadend source code
make
If the source is compiled with no errors you can install the compiled source
make install
if you want you can also create this init script to start Tvheadend at boot time
/etc/init.d/tvheadend
#!/sbin/runscript # Copyright 1999-2010 Gentoo Foundation # Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2 # $Header: depend() { need net } start() { ebegin "Starting tvheadend" start-stop-daemon --start \ --user ${TVHUSER} \ --exec ${TVHBIN} -- -C -f eend $? } stop() { ebegin "Stopping tvheadend" start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --name ${TVHNAME} --signal 2 eend $? }
/etc/conf.d/tvheadend
# /etc/conf.d/tvheadend: config file for /etc/init.d/tvheadend TVHROOT="/opt/tvheadend" TVHNAME="tvheadend" TVHBIN="${TVHROOT}/bin/${TVHNAME}" TVHUSER="${TVHNAME}"
now set /etc/init.d/tvheadend as executable
chmod +x /etc/init.d/tvheadend
Create the tvheadend and add tvheadend to the group video
useradd -d /opt/tvheadend/home/ -G tvheadend -s /sbin/nologin -m tvheadend gpasswd -a tvheadend video
now you can try to start Tvheadend
/etc/init.d/tvheadend start
if this works fine you can also add it to runlevel default so Tvheadend starts automatically
rc-update add tvheadend default
now you can go to http://hostname:9981/ and start using/configuring Tvheadend
