Tvheadend plugin for unRAID V5.0

Featured Replies

Piotr's new build of tvheadend works for me.

 

I'm running the RC11 build as I'm using a TBS DVB-T2 quad tuner and that's the most recent build that has supported my card, although I did have a go at compiling my own but didn't quite manage it.

 

Here's Piotr's post with the RC11 image I used, I'm pretty sure there are three versions of each build depending on what TV card you use, just a matter of finding the right one.

 

new unRaid custom with DVB driver based on rc11

 

- latest TBS driver from 2013-01-26

- all driver of tuners from kernel turned ON

- added Firmwares of tuners

- some fix for realtek NIC (i hope enough)

- added exFAT and NTFS support (latest driver 2013)

- added mc

 

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/49442039/unraid.rc11.tbs.zip

 

BTW. unraid 5.0 final come with 64bit support, and i just only tell the package of tvheadend and driver are ready for 64bit system ;)

 

And here's my go file if that helps.

 

#!/bin/bash
# Start the Management Utility
/usr/local/sbin/emhttp &

# TVHeadEnd Install
installpkg /boot/packages/libidn-1.19-i486-1.txz
installpkg /boot/packages/tvheadend-20130426-i686-1PTr.txz
sleep 10 && sudo -u root tvheadend -c /mnt/cache/.apps/tvheadend -u nobody -g video -f

 

I've never used the plg file as my impression has been that the original author stopped updating it and it's now very much outdated, as far as I know nobody has had any luck in updating it to using more recent builds of tvheadend from Piotr.

 

In summary, there are two parts to getting this working without the plugin.  First is getting the bzimage and bzroot files containing the drivers you need.  You could potentially use the ones from the plugin for this as they have worked for you before.  Then modify your go file to run one of Piotr's TVheadend builds.

 

Hope this helps mate.

 

How did you tell tvheadend to install to /mnt/cache/.apps ?

Ack, this didn't really work for me, failed at certain parts and caused the system to halt LOL.

 

This project would benefir from some concise, clear directions. :)

Well the line that includes /mnt/cache/.apps can be changed to whatever you want so change it to suit your needs.  It is the line that tells tvheadend where to "install"

 

If that still doesn't work for you not sure what's going on. What bizimage files are you using firstly?

Sorry if im missing this but could someone repost Botez  custom kernel again? I went to DL it and it says the file has been moved or deleted.

Right now I'm using rc8a. If I try to use the rc11 or rc12a I get the dreaded "Transport endpoint not connected" errors.

 

Hmmm, never seen those errors.  Are you sure the builds you are trying include the drivers needed for your tuners?

 

What happens if you try running Piotr's TVHeadEnd files with RC8, after all you know that that does include the drivers you require. Use the lines from my go file I posted before and make sure you have libidn as well as that's required.

Tvheadend is working great, but i´m hitting the wall trying to get vdr to work. For some strange reason i cant compile tntnet. Does anyone have a precompiled package?

 

Thanks

I can't actually get any of PIOTR's files to work correctly. That's been my trouble from the start. I have tried with the files you posted as well. The only way I can seem to get TVHE to function is with W-W's plugin.

Im released all packages ;)

Hey guys,

 

Is the Hauppauge HVR 2200 supported natively? I want to run tv headend on my server.

 

8)

Alright, here it is: http://goo.gl/ByxtR

 

This has:

DVBHDHomeRun .15

Realtek r8168 (v8.035.00) and r8169 NIC drivers

 

Sorry if im missing this but could someone repost Botez  custom kernel again? I went to DL it and it says the file has been moved or deleted.

 

You can just mine, it has all of the same items just updated to the latest.

 

Hope that helps!

Thanks.....it works

Now i just need to find out how to get epgs for swedish channels and load a font with swedish letters.

It seems stable and pause/resume works better then tvh.

I'm guessing its best to get a DVBHDHomeRun like this http://www.kaiserbaas.com/tv-radio-category/network-tv-tuner

Yeep is true, and now is new XVDR addon for XBMC with support pernament timeshift and few methood :)

https://github.com/pipelka/xbmc-addon-xvdr/commit/5876a06380b9bcd32fe665b14c145dbe2f140ac7

 

Simple timeshift (Pause LiveTV)
Full timeshift (RAM)
Full timeshift (HDD)
HDD Buffer size (Mb)

 

About support font/characters in EPG i use sh file for start VDR

 

example:

#!/bin/sh
export LANG=pl_PL
export LC_COLLATE=pl_PL
export LC_ALL=pl_PL
export VDR_CHARSET_OVERRIDE=ISO-8859-2

/usr/sbin/vdr -c /mnt/cache/.vdrconfig -v /mnt/user/recorded -L /usr/lib/vdr -P"dvbapi -B0 -B1" -P xvdr -P dvbhddevice -P dvbsddevice -P quickepgsearch -P epgsearchonly -P conflictcheckonly -P epgsearch -P live -l 3 -d

exit

If you use my build this will be work, because standard unRAID image dont have any fonts in systems and locals/i18n etc.just only English.

For confirmation if work you should get in log

 

May  3 09:58:05 unRAID vdr: [30038] VDR version 2.0.1 startem
May  3 09:58:05 unRAID vdr: [30038] codeset is 'ISO-8859-2' - known

 

If dont will be work you should run this command

localedef -ci pl_PL -f ISO-8859-2 pl_PL

and replace pl_PL and ISO-8859-2 on your own coding and language

 

Btw. im update vdr-plugin-live to latest - package like always in my dumptrack catalog

Best Regards

Hi Piotr,

 

Any chance of a tutorial on how to get VDR going?  Keen to try but not really sure where to start.

 

Thanks

I would also appreciate a few pointers on VDR. To install is it as simple as downloading everything from dumptruck (excluding TVHeadend) and then running Installpkg? Is there an order it has to be done in?

 

Have this lined up for my 'weekend project'. A few tips to point me in the right direction (assume idiot level audience) would be appreciated. :)

 

Thanks

 

Tolax

WW now create plugin for VDR so will be easy for eveyone ;) just please little wait

That's great news, will the TVHeadEnd get an updated plugin too? 

 

WW - Thought he'd gone missing a long time ago, figured he'd either moved away from UnRaid or no longer used it for his tuners. 

 

Brilliant, sounds like things are going to be interesting soon.

 

Thanks for all the hard work!

 

Don't suppose there is any chance of the Kernel images for RC12a with these drivers? http://www.tbsdtv.com/download/document/common/tbs-linux-drivers_v130429.zip I know I'm being cheeky!  ;)

Thanks a lot my friend, will be ordering one this week.

 

Would be great if Tom can include the files in future releases instead of you having to recompile.

I´m running my own custom build. I managed to get swedish working in unraid by installing the glibc-i18n package. It didnt work in vdr though, but i didnt know about VDR_CHARSET_OVERRIDE. I´ll give it a try next weekend when i get back from work.

I have been playing with the streamdev plugin, but it is crashing vdr for me. Is streamdev-server stable for you?

 

/hans

glibc-i18n - must be for slackware 13.1 (in other way you will get a lot segfault)

and in my build is a lot maked other stuff like added font to /usr/share/fonts (wich VDR need etc.)

 

And yes streamdev working fine - just check if you dont lost any config file for streamdev ;)

if something will be missing vdr on start - will stop

I am actually OK with him not adding it, as the community is pretty good about releasing it. I don't think there are enough people here using unRAID as their PVR server, once a few more media applications add PVR support, I wouldn't be surprised to see some of this slip into the main branch.

 

Now that I have a test environment and steps, I can release a build with all of this 35 minutes or so after an unRAID release.

You are a legend, can't wait to receive the hdhomerun dual and set it up. I think it's great to have an unraid server running everything, for me it will be a dlna server, plex, backup server, transmission torrent downloader and now pvr as well. Just makes unraid even more amazing..

Haha, well thanks, I had a lot of help from other posts but now that the environment is setup the rebuild will be a bit more simplistic.

 

What are you using for your DLNA server? I use Plex to access my content from my PS3 via DLNA, as well as a couple of Rokus and Android tablets.

 

My unRAID server does, Plex, SB, SAB, CP, Transmission, PVR, DNS and Samaba (for XBMC), all on a Core2Duo. Pretty crazy. I have lost 2 drives so far with 0 data loss, which to me is invaluable.

 

Hope you find unRAID as awesome and time saving as I have.

Has anyone got a link to the RC12a bzroot and bzimage with media tree files please. I am right out of my depth here and have been reading for days and days and still seem to be hitting a wall. Oh yeah I plan to install a TBS dvb card.

 

I would love to be knowledgeable enough to compile my own but think I have managed to confuse myself far too much now.

 

Thanks
