Yeah but that import Script does not work for me. Dont know if you have to have Webgrab++ running on unRaid for this or if i am simply too dumb to register the grabber within TVHeadend.

 

Found another simpler  solution for me.

I use one of my VServers to grab the EPG with WebGrab++. These are running 24/7 anyway, so i have no need for an additionals Docker where i have to see how top prevent Standby while its working etc.

There my guide.xml is created. I just download that guide.xml using wget and feed it into the XMLTV.sock of TVHeadend using cat and socat, which looks like this in my case:

cat xmltv.xml | socat - UNIX-CONNECT:/mnt/cache/.tvheadend/epggrab/xmltv.sock

 

After that you can go into the TVHeadend WebGui and pick the right EPG for tha channels. Thats a work that sucks like all the other things that have to do with channel sorting etc. in TVHeadend

 

Just have to write a little script which does the downloading etc. Obviously you need socat for this which is not in the official Slackware Repos but can be downloaded https://slackonly.com/pub/packages/14.1-x86_64/network/socat/ here.

 

I hope this info is helpful for somebody.

You need to put the script in the right folder for tvheadend to see it and also the right permissions. I think tvheadend looks in /usr/bin, but I'm away for the weekend, so can not check it right now.

 

If you name the channels in the webgrab config file the same as in tvheadend the mapping should go automatically. But it is a lot of work anyway.

You are right. When putting the script into /usr/bin it can be seen by tvheadend.

 

But in congestion with my DL Script socat is easier.

Hi

 

Please could somebody give an unRaid newbie a friendly steer?

 

I've installed 6.0 beta 14b and am trying to get TVHeadend up and running.

 

I have read that the new release comes with TVHeadend pre-installed.  Is this correct?

 

If not could I please get a nod in the right direction?

 

Thanks

No TVHeadend is not preinstalled.

 

First you have to fetch yourself a Kernel with Mediatree enabled from here http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=32640.msg357016#msg357016

And you have to hope that youre TV Tuner is supported.

Than you just simply switch the bzroot and bzimage on your flash drive with the new ones and reboot.

 

After that you get the latest TVHeadend PLG from Mettbrot http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=32640.msg357515#msg357515 and install it.

 

Than you can hopefully start configuring TVHeadend. From there on the normal TVHeadend How-To's apply.

Thanks a lot Darkside

Does anyone know if any of these images support the Hauppauge HVR-22xx cards? I am in Australia and having trouble finding a dual DVB-T tuner thats supported. I don't really want to compile my own so if someone is using a good card with over the air TV in Australia can you let me know the card and which version below? Thanks

 

unRAID beta14b - media tree - kernel generic

unRAID beta14b - TBS driver  (@CHBMB please try now .. )

unRAID beta14b - CrazyCat Driver

@piotrsd: How about the short How To, so people like blontic could help themselfs?

Just google for your card name and "Linux". You should get a result from linuxtv.org their wiki can tell you if the driver is in kernel. If it is you are fine with a "media build" unraid. (<-- this is on the unraid wiki btw)

Thanks, looks like it's not supported. Might just be easier to get a HDHomeRun. If only they were not $219AU

If it is a HVR2250 that is supported by Linux.

In September 2014 there were a HVR2255 release which is not supported by the Linux Kernel.

 

Maybe you are lucky and can get the old Version from a reseller or from ebay.

 

But the old one should work, at least the FW File is present on my unRaid running the generic media tree build enabled Kernel.

Anyone have a link for the CrazyCat Drivers?

 

I have installed a DVBSky T9580 along side my Digital devices DVB-S card.

 

The previos links are not working.

 

Thanks

Is the modified kernel necessary if you are using HDHomerun, or can you just install the TVHeadend plugin on the stock bzroot and bzimage?

I don't use a HDHomeRun, but pretty sure you don't need the modified kernel as there is a TVHeadEnd docker that people have been using.

Cool, thanks. I am a little behind in the docker area, as in, I haven't set it up yet.

 

Apparently there is an Emby modification in the works that will allow live tv using TVHeadEnd as the backend, so I'm doing some research into getting that set up.

That does sound nice, I'm still using Kodi/Openelec, but a true server/client setup with the ability to serve up Live-TV and transcode to mobile devices would be very very tempting.

Finally got around to setting up TVHeadEnd.  Works great with the media build that piotr provided.  Seems more stable than Argus in a VM.  Will let the wife test drive it a bit..

Any Chance this kind of thing could be done for 14b please?:

Already did thanks.  The crazy cat driver link is not working.

 

I need drivers for DVBSky and Digital Devices:

Have you tried the first one in those three?

Yes, thats the one that I have installed.

 

My digital devices DVB-S card is working fine, but not my DVBSky card.  I assume that I dont have the DVBSky drivers installed with the first package.

Oh sorry, get it now.

 

Try sending piotrasd a PM and see if he'll reupload.

Already sent one, but no reply yet.  Busy man I guess.

 

Thanks for your help anyway.

The other thing to bear in mind is with a new beta imminent, these will all be outdated. 

 

So if you do get this working, don't update to the next beta, or if you do be prepared to lose your PVR.
