[Support] Linuxserver.io - TVHeadend

That is caused by what is probably a bug in the latest version detecting your tuners. That works in the stable version and the correct config files is written. When you updated to the latest version, tvheadend just read the tuner configuration from settings and it therefore works.

 

I have no idea why your stable version got updated to latest. The tag should be persistent. What does your repository box say? linuxserver/tvheadend?

 

Can't get at that now as, of course, my openVPN is also acting up following recent events. I'll check this evening and report back.

 

Many many thanks to you and @CHBMB for your patience in holding my hand through this.

  • 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

  • Thanks man, I'm just playing around with TV stuff so I'll try it here. 

  • I tried WG+ but in the end I gave up, purely because it's too complicated and too cumbersome. I got it working, but it wasn't reliable and you have to rebuild the first search index relatively frequen

I just checked here to install 4.0.9 and check for update. It updated, but still on 4.0.9. Not sure what happened there.

Probably something I messed up, in all likelihood!

Yeah I checked as well and found the same as you @saarg

It's a bug to do with how the latest version scans your tuners initially.  

 

When you install stable, it scans, and that info is saved in your appdata, then when you upgrade to latest, that info is already available so the bug doesn't reveal itself.  However if you first install the latest version it does.

 

Here's the bug report for future reference;

Is anyone else using mkv recording profile? The mkv files tvheadend is producing can't be "seeked" on my Win10 PC with VLC.

Also comskip is not generating .edl files when mkv profile is selected.

I've switched to passthrough and can now seek and generate .edl files (which vlc can't make use of so now switched to smplayer) but I'd like to switch back to mkv if possible.

 

Has anyone been able to resolve the "seek" and edl issues I've experienced?

 

I tested comskip and mkv and it's not working for some reason. I think it might be related to ffmpeg being updated when we moved the base image from Alpine 3.4 to 3.5.

I'll see if I manage to compile ffmpeg instead of using the alpine version.

You need to answer the developer ;)

 

I'll do that when I have the time and inclination to replicate the issue.

 

Right now, my unRAID/ TVHeadEnd setup is refusing to map DVB-S services to channels and failing to record from DVB-T channels so a big mess that I'm trying to work on.

Probably user related :P

Never heard about not being able to map channels.

 

For testing the bug you reported just stop the Tvheadend container, then make a new tvheadend container with a different name and appdata folder. 

This way you just stop the working one and start the troubleshooting one when needed.

I don't doubt it's user related for one minute!!

 

I've tried to use Bouquets but they don't seem to be working.

 

My real problem is that my openVPN has stopped working for some unknown reason. This means I can't troubleshoot during work! I need to get that fixed first.

What exactly are you doing when mapping channels? Pictures are also nice. Is it encrypted channels?

I have to add a start argument for tvheadend, how do i do that in docker?

Switch to advanced view and add it in the extra parameters field. 

Curious which extra argument you need?

I have to add

TVH_ARGS="--satip_xml http://your.box.ip.address:49000/satipdesc.xml"

So i can get my AVM DVB-C SATIP tuner to work.

 

Guide i use:

https://tvheadend.org/boards/4/topics/18013?r=18030#message-18030

 

The advanced view is only for container arguments right? I think i need to add an application argument.

Yes, that is only for the run command. For additional runtime arguments read the info in the github link in the first post. It's explained there ;-)

Do not add the tvh-args you have in front. It's the --satip part you need.

Am I doing something fundamentally wrong with using this with Kodi?  I just can't get playback in Kodi that isn't too laggy to watch.  It's so bad sometimes that even the audio stops.

 

I tried using this docker initially with a Hauppauge Quad Tuner DVB-T2, and I've just tried this evening with a TBS 6205 I purchased today- my thinking was this card seems to work for everyone else, so it should work for me...

 

What I've done:

- dvbplugin installed with TBS Open Source drivers

- followed instructions here https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/tvheadend/ and here https://www.linuxserver.io/2017/02/19/how-to-set-up-tvheadend-with-your-dvb-t2-receiver/.  All channels found ok, logos added etc

- added tvheadend HTSP kodi addon.  (changed profile to HTSP from default just in case)

- upgraded to kodi 17.1 as it has some dvb fixes to see if that helped

 

Happy to post logs etc as I really need to fix this in the next 10 days otherwise I have to return the Happauge card then if I'm going to keep the TBS 6205.  If I can't get TVheadend to work, I'll have to go back to dvblink running in a VM which I really don't want to do.

Not easy to say what is wrong in your setup. Any errors when going to the status tab of tvheadend while playing?

What do you use as the client? Do you have sync to framerate enabled in kodi?

Adjust display refresh rate - always

sync playback to display - no (audio not passed through if selected, which I need for my other media)

 

Errors is an interesting one - I've got some transport (240) and continuity errors (306)on one of my tuners, but after you alerting me to this page I can't get this tuner to be used again and the error count doesn't go up.

 

The problem seems to be just with HD channels.

And hardware for the client?

Mi box 3 and fire TVs, connected via Unifi AC Pros.  My WiFi setup is good and i can stream 4k to the mi box, but i will setup Kodi on one of my VMs to see if the experience there is the same.

Is it the same problem on all of them?

Does the same problem occur if you watch TV in the webgui?

Webgui - ok.  Also just tested the android TVH client app and it works perfectly.

 

Problem on all mi box and Fire TV clients.  I just tried installing Kodi on my Nexus 6P and it was a bit better, only a few HD channels going bad.

 

On the VM I did a default Kodi install and it worked brilliantly - so good, I almost wanted to cry.  So, I then did a fresh kodi install on one of my fire tvs and left everything at default and I had the same problems.  

 

It could be a wireless problem, although I don't see how - the only way I can test that is to install kodi on my laptop - will try that later as the laptop's a bit messed up (won't do the anniversary update needed to install kodi)

You can see the bitrate of the stream in the status view of tvheadend so you can compare it to the 4k streams you have tried.

 

Have you tried using spmc instead of kodi?
