Is it possible to only specify the adapterX folder when passing through a DVB card now as it is explained in your github repo?

 

This is what I have in my tvheadend template for 4 DVB tuners.

 

--device=/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0:/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0 --device=/dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0:/dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 --device=/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0:/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0 --device=/dev/dvb/adapter0/net0:/dev/dvb/adapter0/net0  
--device=/dev/dvb/adapter1/demux0:/dev/dvb/adapter1/demux0 --device=/dev/dvb/adapter1/dvr0:/dev/dvb/adapter1/dvr0 --device=/dev/dvb/adapter1/frontend0:/dev/dvb/adapter1/frontend0 --device=/dev/dvb/adapter1/net0:/dev/dvb/adapter1/net0    
--device=/dev/dvb/adapter2/demux0:/dev/dvb/adapter2/demux0 --device=/dev/dvb/adapter2/dvr0:/dev/dvb/adapter2/dvr0 --device=/dev/dvb/adapter2/frontend0:/dev/dvb/adapter2/frontend0 --device=/dev/dvb/adapter2/net0:/dev/dvb/adapter2/net0    
--device=/dev/dvb/adapter3/demux0:/dev/dvb/adapter3/demux0 --device=/dev/dvb/adapter3/dvr0:/dev/dvb/adapter3/dvr0 --device=/dev/dvb/adapter3/frontend0:/dev/dvb/adapter3/frontend0 --device=/dev/dvb/adapter3/net0:/dev/dvb/adapter3/net0

Sure you can do exactly what your already doing but there is no advantage to this, it just means longer command line that's all. If you instead pass through/dev/dvb/adapterX then you don't need to specify the sub folders I.e. demux, dvr, frontend, net.

 

That must have been added to a later docker version as when I did exactly the same it complained about the folder not being a device. Good thing they changed it

You can also now even use wildcards so this is also possible --device=/dev/dvb/adapter* but I don't know which version of docker supports it

Hi,

 

Before I start, I am a complete noob when it comes to unRaid, Linux and Docker.

 

I have installed the TVheadend docker container, via the CA plugin, but I can not get it to run.

I suspect it has something to do with the --devices variable not being editable during the install.

 

All variables where left at their defaults except:

 

Host Path 2: = /mnt/user/Tvheadend/

AppData Config Path: = /mnt/cache/appdata/binhex-tvheadend/

 

When I press the apply button I get:

 

root@localhost:# /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.docker.manager/scripts/docker run -d --name="Tvheadend" --net="bridge" -e TZ="Europe/London" -e HOST_OS="unRAID" -e "PUID"="99" -e "PGID"="100" -p 9981:9981/tcp -p 9982:9982/tcp -v "/mnt/user/Tvheadend/":"/data":rw -v "/mnt/cache/appdata/binhex-tvheadend/":"/config":rw --device=path to tuner device binhex/arch-tvheadend

invalid value "path" for flag --device: path is not an absolute path

See '/usr/bin/docker run --help'.

 

The command failed.

 

It looks obvious that I need to set the --device path, but how?

 

One other thing I do not have a physical TV adapter installed in the unRAID server but I was planning to use a network HDhomerun tuner.

 

Thanks in advance for any help with this.

You edit that in the extra parameters section.  No idea about what to do with a network tuner.  But I guess you could just delete the line and see what happens

 

With a HDHomerun you don't need the --devices as there are no devices present.

The extra parameters section isn't available in the GUI, and as a noob I didn't know how to edit the template xml file, but after a bit of research I found that I could edit it in windows via the flash share.

 

Anyway thanks for the pointer, I just deleted the <ExtraParams> inner text and the docker now installs and runs, I haven't got the HDhomerun working but I suspect that is a Tvheadend configuration setting.

What version of unraid?  I checked on both my 6.1.9 and 6.2rc4 and its there under both basic and advanced view

 

You might want to check for plugin updates also

Also, not sure which version of TVH binhex is using, but the Unstable (which in my experience is rock solid stable) has a setup wizard which makes things a lot easier.

i build with stable releases only, but its very encouraging to hear that the "unstable" builds are actually...well....stable :-).

Yeah I found an issue with my setup that needed a fairly recent commit at the time so I switched from stable to unstable and it's been solid....

Pretty sure unstable refers to how quickly the code is updated and changed, not how it runs.

That's a good point, and believe it or not, never thought about it like that.  Warning, if I ever tell you something I do is unstable, what I'm actually saying is "This probably will break stuff..."

i kinda agree, but stable (in my mind at least) refers to the "quality" of the code as well, so a stable version SHOULD in theory be unit tested, and to the best knowledge of the author at that time, bug free, unstable is code that is continuously being "worked on" and thus may contain more/some bugs and therefore COULD be less stable than the "stable" version, at least thats how i use those definitions when coding :-).

Hello, trying to install TVHeadend Server on my new unraid server, sadly getting following error.

The line below looks wrong. Did you change it yourself? Post a screen shot when in advanced mode.

 

 --device=/dev/tuner type binhex/arch-tvheadend

 

If it's a dvb card, it should be /dev/dvb. Type should be removed anyway.

You haven't changed the parameter in the extra parameters box from the default one.

If you have a USB or pcie dvb adapter, change it to the below.

 

--device=/dev/dvb

 

If you are using IPTV or hdhomerun, remove everything in the box.

keep in mind if your not using iptv or hdhomerun then you will need to run a custom version of unraid. as the standard releases do not include the required drivers for pci/usb tuners (or at least it didnt used to). there is a thread about custom release of unraid that includes the required drivers, im afraid i dont have the link to hand but im sure you can search and find it.

i use pci devices, sadly cant get the DVB-C to work, DVB-S seems to work fine, may i need to try a different DVB version from unraid,

i saw there are different DVB versions available with probably different drivers ...

 

thanks again for the advice, i ll try to get DVB-C working and my other unraid issues i still have im new to this but seems to be a nice thing when i get all sorted.

 

Edit, may an idea why dvb-c aint working
