TVHeadend not letting me in - gsi095 - 2012-03-08 07:05
hi,
I install XBMCbuntu, updated to the PVR build from packages.pulse-eight.net and went to configure TVHeadend and I get a log in screen.
I have tried xbmc/xbmc, the user login details, but keep getting "The server localhost:9981 requires a username & password. The server says: TVHeadend"
I did the reconfigure utility via terminal and changed the user and password but keep getting this same reply.
Am I doing something wrong??

1st figure out under which user the tvheadend is running;
Quote:#ps ax | grep tvheadendYou will get out such as;
Quote:2140 ? Ssl 3:55 /usr/bin/tvheadend -f -u hts -g videoThere you will see, it runs as user "hts" (-u hts)
32238 pts/1 R+ 0:00 grep --color=auto tvheadend
Go into the hts config folder for that user;
Quote:cd /home/hts/.hts/tvheadend/Here are all setting stored. But also the config of the super user. You need to be root, so under ubuntu for instance;
Quote:sudo cat superuserYou will get an output like;
Quote:{
"username": "gsi095",
"password": "forgotthedamnthing"
}
Use those to get into the webadmin and do your things.

or just run:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure tvheadend
you'll be asked to enter a new password.

I had a similar issue, and found this:
Quote:create a file calles "1" with following content in the ~/.hts/tvheadend/accesscontrol/ directory
Code:
{
"enabled": 1,
"username": "*",
"password": "*",
"comment": "Default access entry",
"prefix": "0.0.0.0/0",
"streaming": 1,
"dvr": 1,
"webui": 1,
"admin": 1,
"id": "1"
}

For some reason the ~/.hts/tvheadend/accesscontrol/ directory had gone, so I had to create it again incl. the '1' file and it's OK now.

It doesn't matter how many times I try this, it doesn't let me in. I can see the username and password in the file, so I know I'm typing it correctly.
Does it not allow my to connect from a remote host? I can't connect from localhost, it doesn't have a web browser.

Have you played with the IP address config at all? Could it be that you're connecting from a PC that doesn't have admin rights because of its IP address?
I can't remember off the top of my head, but I wonder if tvheadend defaults to localhost unless you change it... so are you connecting from the machine hosting tvheadend, or a different one?
Have a look at ~/.hts/tvheadend/accesscontrol and see what's in there...

Yep, originally had it set to 0.0.0.0/0. I changed it to 192.168.1.0/24 just to see if it would change the outcome. I also SSHed in and used lynx to localhost:9981. It fails just the same.
Unless there's somewhere else to change it.

Try start tvheadend with -C. This will create a user account with no username/password if no user exists already. Then you can get access and create a new user.
That did it for me.

I had the same problem but when i ran:
cat /home/username/.hts/tvheadend/accesscontrol/1
it displayed:
root@LachsMC:/home/lachs/.hts/tvheadend/accesscontrol# cat 1
{
"enabled": 1,
"username": "xbmc",
"password": "xbmc",
"comment": "Default access entry",
"streaming": 1,
"dvr": 1,
"dvrallcfg": 1,
"webui": 1,
"admin": 1,
"id": "1"
}
showing me that despite setting up my own password with the initial tvheadend config it is using xbmc/xbmc as the user/pass still...
Hope this helps...
