Linux HOW-TO watch Live TV in XBMC for Linux with Tvheadend, the easy way!

I recently upgraded tvheadend from pulse eight PPA and noticed the option to save the TV stream as .TS is missing.... again. Original 2.12 version from tvheadend site was only doing MKV container, then some more recent versions from pulse had the option to stream to TS and now again only MKV. Is there any other source for tvheadend binary with this option?

https://github.com/tvheadend/tvheadend

If you build this it does,

Not sure but maybe these debs have the option too:

Yeah, the option is called "Pass-through" (in the Git version).

I have all of the software installed ( hdhomerun-config hdhomerun-config-gui dvbhdhomerun-dkms dvbhdhomerun-utils)
Script installed to start dvbhdhomerun-utils and tvheadend from this thread.
I can access the web interface at http://localhost:9981/extjs.html.
Output of hdhomerun_config discover returns "hdhomerun device 101899F3 found at 192.168.2.5"
/etc/hdhomerun config file is setup like this:

[101899F3-0]
tuner_type=ATSC

[101899F3-1]
tuner_type=ATSC

I think everything is correct, but when I go to the web interface to select my tuner the drop down menu is blank. Am I missing something?

Try
I just ran into a lot of issues getting the same thing setup, and it basically came down to the dvbhdhomerun-utils not starting before tvheadend. I did use the script from the thread you linked eventually, but only after I got everything else working. I also ran into and error with getting the echo command to load the driver at boot. My system would not allow this command as sudo, so I had to su and use the root account to do it. It does work, eventually.


*edit* I'm assuming you've also looked at this guide.

@dushmaniac:

EPG issue

Using todays master of tvheadend and your master branch, the epg does not show in the right order and has several channel labels mixed up.
Your Eden -pvr branch + tvheadend's master branch don't have this issue.

Maybe you can fix this.
Thanks in advance.

Never mind, I just noticed that pvr is in main now. I have build that one and all is well.

In case someone is interested, I got Tvheadend up and running on the Raspberry Pi, using a cheap DVB- T USB stick :-)

Just to follow the official instructions here;

A tip is to build and install deb packages;

CPU average on the RPi when streaming one channel is about 20% (RPi modest overclocked). XBMC is running on another device.

Installed as in post 1 and everything working as it should accept the recordings tab on the LIVE TV. It displays recordings made but won't play them. Looking into the tvheadend log i see

Hi,

I am trying to install tvheadend on my NAS to watch futubox channels.

The installation worked well, but I struggle to configure it to work with futubox channels, it doesn't seem to connect to it.
Did anybody got it working with futubox?

here is what the futubox stream looks like: rtsp:\\s01.webport.tv\fb\z010601.stream?lp=USERLOGIN

Thanks,

Hi

I'm currently using XBMC with raspberry pi and would like to connect it to my analog tv signal with Tvheadend.

Is there any good tv tuner compatible with both raspberry pi and Tvheadend using analog?

Thanks
