May 22, 201412 yr How did you install the HDHR drivers? Do you still have the bzimage, bzroot and userhdhomerun files?
May 22, 201412 yr How did you install the HDHR drivers? Do you still have the bzimage, bzroot and userhdhomerun files? You won't get any help if you ask every 4 hours
May 22, 201412 yr Sorry, I've been messing with this thing for days, and I'm going NUTS. I've posted on here before but never crazy guy like this. I got the little lady to get rid of our cable boxes (obviously a boneheaded, preemptive move) because I saw all these people on here that had it working. Now, not being able to get this working, every hour that goes by my wife wants to kill me more and more. Apologies.
May 27, 201412 yr Thanks for the reply, but I stopped trying this altogether with unRAID . It just didn't feel like plugins like this are well suited to unRAID. Having to replace the kernel is one thing, but compiling a bunch of drivers on this os seems inordinately difficult. But I'm sure it's just me. I have mythtv up and running on another machine, and running very well. And now that it is, I feel like I'd rather have this on a separate machine. Handling recordings and tuning, episode guides, seem much better in mythtv than tvheadend anyway. And I know that mythtv on this os is next to impossible, if at all.
May 28, 201412 yr Sorry it was so frustrating. I gave up on using tvheadend via Unraid many months back and don't maintain the files I once uploaded (nor do I particularly remember the process for setting it all up). I now just run Windows Media Center in a xen guest machine and use it as a backend into XBMC. Works like a charm with very little setup and no need to update with each new release of Unraid.

May 28, 201412 yr Yah I gave up as well. unRAID is a great OS for an NAS at the moment. And I see it's getting better by leaps and bounds, it has a long way to go before it's ready for things like TVH or (gasp) even mythtv. But I bought a cheap-o tower from Craigslist for $85 and now I've got a great Mythbuntu server running flawlessly. Thanks anyway for the response!

Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk botez, I just checked into this thread for the first time in a while to see if any significant progress has been made and saw your post. I'm about to do the same thing. Everything works great with the tvheadend/unRAID solution as a backend to XBMC, except for timeshifting, closed captions on ATSC, and building a "media tree" kernel with every update. These reasons are why I'm about to give up and do something like you did with either WMC or MediaPortal in 6.0 w/ Xen. I'm tired of waiting for tvheadend to meet all of my needs... if it will ever even happen. I'm surprised that proper timeshifting is so low on the priority list with the tvheadend developers.
June 18, 201412 yr Hey piotrasd can xou please give me a hint on how to compile tvheadend into a .txz package? Could you share how you are doing it? It would be very much appreciated! Thank you
June 29, 201412 yr unRAID beta6 (media) https://copy.com/pLcFLaoI1VrsSaZt - added all possible DVB drivers - updated kernel to 3.15.2 (patched - but still system will show 3.15.0) - added patches from Openelec for support more dvb tuners - added all possible firmware's for tuners Here my tvheadend build script https://copy.com/WoS2tklEUsbaDh6i just execute tvheadend.Slackware and you will get ready compiled packages (latest from git) Here latest TVheadend ready packages for unRAID 6 https://copy.com/VlLnn0tfRYOOJUzx
June 29, 201412 yr Awesome, this was exactly what I was looking for!!! thank you very much! Maybe if you have some time you can expand the wiki article on this topic. Espeacially the build tools for unraid 6 custom are not up to date (kernel headers, slack packages and so on)
July 9, 201411 yr Here latest TVheadend ready packages for unRAID 6 https://copy.com/VlLnn0tfRYOOJUzx Hey piotrasd it seems that this package is corrupt, when trying to install it says Verifying package tvheadend.txz. xz: (stdin): Unexpected end of input Unable to install /boot/packages/tvheadend.txz: tar archive is corrupt (tar returned error code 2) Could you please reupload the file?
July 15, 201411 yr Hey everyone. After several hours of trying to compile this stupid slackware package it turnes out that you can just convert the automatically created -deb packages from here http://apt.tvheadend.org/unstable/pool/main/t/tvheadend/ with "sudo alien -t tvheadend.deb" on ubuntu. I created such a pack and also updated the tvheadend.plg for Unraid 6. It is available here: Unraid 6 x64 version: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/17326625/tvheadend-2.2.64bit.plg Thanks to piotrasd for providing the uriparser binary. Also, the old pack for unRaid 5 got an update as I was missing some package. It is available here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/17326625/tvheadend-0.7.plg These plgs are mostly for my own machine, if it works for you let me know, but dont blame me if they dont (you can also tell me though)
July 18, 201411 yr Looking for a way to get a pvr backend on unraid so I can get live tv out to 3 xbmc units. Is this the only plugin or is this something else? I use a hdhomerun prime for my tuner box.
July 19, 201411 yr What's wrong with this one? Only thing is that you need a suitable BZROOT and BZIMAGE file with support for HDhomerun. There is an image for 5.0 in this thread though. Install those and try version 0.7 from obove and you should be good

I am running 5.0.4
July 27, 201411 yr Looks like there won't be a 5.0.6... is there a chance we can get one last 5.x compile? Thanks for your continued efforts guys. I am moving to SAT>IP myself as soon as TVH starts working with it properly.

I am running 5.0.4 I never used HDHomerun so I cant really tell. Technically this guide seems to be correct with one modification: Tvheadend itsself is configurable via unraid gui and starts automatically with the array so the last step sleep 20 && sudo -u root tvheadend -c /mnt/cache/.custom/tvheadend -u root -g video -f 2>&1 >/dev/null is wrong. And be sure to take the 0.7 version of the plg
August 7, 201411 yr is hard to compile latest tvheadend on unraid 5 because of gcc version old version give errors anyway i try ...
August 8, 201411 yr I think he meant a 5.0.5 version of unraid with the drivers included. since this will be the last stable 5.x build. For tvheadend maybe we can try it with alien too. Will post a link to a pack in a few minutes, maybe someone on 5.0.X can try it out. Here you go: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/17326625/tvheadend-3.9.1228%7Etrusty.tgz tell me if it works on unraid 5.
August 9, 201411 yr @Mettbrot exactly, as it will be the last unRAID 5 build it might be good to have an image with all the drivers in there. @piotrasd i will be using the stable channel, as long as the drivers are in 5.0.5 Thanks for trying!
August 23, 201411 yr Hey everyone! Now that beta 7 is out can someone try and compile a version with media drivers? Or update the guide on the wiki with recent info on how to do it. That would be great!
