Thanks for the help

  • You need to install the driver to use your adapter. Then use /dev/dvb as the path for the device pass through. If you are using 6.9.x I don't know if the permissions are set correctly, so make sure no

One more question.

 

Is there a way to setup a cronjob in TVheadend to download the xml file and replace it, to keep the guide up to date?

That will get wiped every time you update your container, so best thing is to do it on unraid. There is a plugin to run scripts you could install.

in extra parameters?

 

 

This solved my problem, Thanks

hi there.

i have the tvheadend docker installed and configured, it worked good .....

 

.... until after a while i get this:

 

2017-12-08 21:20:42.355 linuxdvb: STV0367 DVB-C DVB-T #0 : DVB-C #0 - poll TIMEOUT

2017-12-08 21:21:05.330 linuxdvb: STV0367 DVB-C DVB-T #0 : DVB-C #0 - poll TIMEOUT

on all 4 tuners from my digital device cinetv..  one after the next is dying! 

 

after a reboot from unraid it is ok for a while. until the tuners have to work again.

Tried this?  You haven't mentioned how you have ddbridge.conf configured.  

lol, 0 or 1 is a big difference O.o:D

 

i did the configuration from here: Configuration for DD Cards

But i did set 

set append initrd=/bzroot ddbridge.msi=1

instead of now:

set append initrd=/bzroot ddbridge.msi=0

 

for now it worked (3 records, 1 live tv) - so for now its solved i think  // thank you very much for give me the hint!!

Ok, now is only one thing left. all is working very well except some entrys in the log from the unraid:

ok, i have now really a problem.

 

i did install the tvh docker about 10 times today with channel search etc. because of the following i can reproduce:

 

delete the tvh docker with image.

install new docker.

configure tvh with channelsearch.

record a channel few minutes.

try to play the recorded in the webgui (through external player vlc) OR play a recording with tvhclient.

 

it will come an error message from vlc and something crashed (i will logout from tvh in the same second)

 

error message in the unraid log:

Dec 13 18:57:42 tower kernel: traps: tvh:tcp-start[13124] general protection ip:56143abd62c9 sp:152b07181da0 error:0 in tvheadend[56143aa5f000+38c000]

 

i delete the docker.img, i delete all configs in appdata, i do the whole day nothing other then try to get this working. can someone help me?

Try using the latest branch when installing. It's most likely a bug in tvheadend.

would like to see a solution to this problem as well. it is a longstanding (tvheadend) bug.

 

awhile ago i tried to dig up informations about this error and read on a site (can't say which any longer) something like "it needs to have transcoding support to be compiled in". maybe the linuxserver.io team (@saarg?) could confirm this. at least it would be a straw to grasp.

Id did install -latest / release-4.2 / stable-4.2.1 and no difference.

 

Ah, ok. But only in the tvh docker image? 

 

I had befor tvh installed in a vm and i cant remember a crash, i could play the recordings

If you want a bug in tvheadend fixed, you need to post it at the tvheadend site. Nothing we can do with it.

 

Tvheadend is compiled with support for transcoding.

i had never before used tvheadend... but i think that talk was about docker versions.

Then you need to make a bug report at the tvheadend site as we don't develop the software.

no complaints here, i can't compare this docker version against a normal installation.

it would be tempting to know (or learn), if the same version installed on a 'comparable' linux distro would yield the same problems, or not. or in an docker on another distro, to see, if we get the same crash.

 

like @himisk71 said, his vm installation worked flawless. now what is the difference then?

 

 

i would say it's a bit unlikely, that all versions show the same bug/crash and that nobody from the programmers have heard of it, nor did they want to fix it. that would be a major drawback for the whole tvheadend project.

 

could it be a docker (on our unRAID) implementations problem?

i can playback recordings with kodi on embedded boxes (using the tvheadend plug-in) from the very same tvh-docker instance.

 

@linuxserver.io team: no complaints against you guys. great work. with every build. thanks for that, it's appreciated alot here. but it would be cool, to get this nasty bug eliminated.

But i think they will say its a docker problem (or tvh  with  docker problem) as tvh will work as expect in a normal installation. 

 

Nevertheless lots of thanks!  but i think i will turn back to a vm.

could you please provide some informations, as how you setup this VM?

do you follow a guide to install/compile tvheadend?

i did everytime a fresh docker install.

i use the docker "Linuxserver.io - TVHeadend"

docker configuration like my older post the attached image + "--device=/dev/dvb" in the extra parameter for my "dd cine tv"

search for channels 

tvheadend "/recordings/ for the records

 

i mean nothing really special. like i do often before. 

 

can i do some logging that can help?

oh no, not for docker on unRAID. i meant, when you setup a VM on unRAID and installing TVH inside the VM.

 

so which template you choose for the VM, which hardware specs you give it (ram, cores, etc.), which linux distro/version you install and on top of that how would you install/compile TVH then?

Our tvheadend container is based on Alpine Linux that uses musl instead of glibc, so that might be the reason it worked in his VM and not in the container. The developer of tvheadend will most likely find the bug if you file it. He will most likely ask you to gather data so he can find the issue, so be prepared.

well i could try to help (as much as i can, but not a real linux guy – will probably limit my possibilities).

 

but then could we try another approach first? could we built (for testing purposes only) a version of the TVH container, which is based on another linux, which then has glibc? if that one would show the same bug = probably a TVH bug, but if not (and it works) it's not a TVH bug (and somehow i imagine it's like that).

 

@saarg: great thought/idea, that it's maybe because of the glibc vs musl (may i ask if you guys had similar experiences with other containers build on alpine linux?)
