Full Version: How to do an installation on XBMCBuntu?
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
As the topic says. Freshly installed XBMCBuntu (Gotham 13.2) and a TeVii S660 on the USB port. Satellite Dish on a rotor with Astra 19.2 (on 2), Astra 28.2 (on 3) and Hotbird 13.0 (on 1).
You need to exit XBMC and log into the xbmcbuntu desktop.

Open a terminal window and do the following.

Code:
curl http://apt.tvheadend.org/repo.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-add-repository http://apt.tvheadend.org/stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install tvheadend

The above will install the backend. Note that when asked for a password, its the same as you use to log into the desktop.

Point your browser to http://localhost:9981 to configure the backend - There is a wiki to help you at https://tvheadend.org/projects/tvheadend/wiki

Once configured, log out of the desktop and log back into xbmc. Go into the pvr-addons in xbmc and enable the tvh addon. Then enable live TV.
I highly recommend to use the latest "unstable" builds instead, there are so many new features that it's worth it.
So i just have to put /unstable instead of /stable nehind the command? I installed the latest stable so can I overwrite it or is there a command to delete the older version first?
Just add the unstable repository (sudo apt-add-repository http://apt.tvheadend.org/unstable) then update and finally install tvheadend again. It should pick up the later version and install over the top.
Thanks for the hint.
Now something regarding drivers.
How to install liplianin on xbmcbuntu?

The instructions seem to be outdated. I get an error when I use this

"hg clone http://mercurial.intuxication.org/hg/s2-liplianin/"

That the website has been gone.

I wll try to get another usb device to run on it, when I have it. This would be a Technotrend and there you have to install this liplianin package.
There is a clone of that package on github - https://github.com/gentooo/s2-liplianin

I haven't tried cloning and building it though.

EDIT - What device are you needing drivers for ? Many are supported in kernel these days and some just need firmware adding.
According to http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/TeVii_S660 the device is supported out of the box since Linux 3.0.
