June 20, 20188 yr How can I add a local m3u file to TVheadend? If I try every combination with file:// it doesn't work, if I try absolute path, if I try mapped path, no matter what I try, it doesn't work unfortunately.

If I try every combination with file:// it doesn't work, if I try absolute path, if I try mapped path, no matter what I try, it doesn't work unfortunately. You need three forward slashes. And you need to add the file where it's accessible to the container. In the tvheadend appdata folder would be a good place.

Create a new folder in appdata/tvheadend called data drop the m3u in there Add Automatic IPTV network address is file:///config/data/filename.m3u
June 20, 20188 yr Thank you, I did exactly that But unfortunately it does nothing, not when I hit Force Scan not on adding it, nothing. Anything else that could be wrong here? The file works in VLC and other apps. It also works if I enter the m3u url from where I got it, but it has over 10000 entries, so I edited it with only the ones I want. There should be about 200 in there... For further clarification, I don't think there's a fault in the list, just in the way I put it in. I can for example load the list in Kodi with the Simple plugin included. It works fine but I unfortunately have no EPG there, that's what I try to do with Tvheadend. I hope that this can do that there. Edited June 20, 20188 yr by RedXon
June 20, 20188 yr I've never had much joy either, but I think you need to manually add the muxes as well https://tvheadend.org/boards/4/topics/26917?r=26927#message-26927 Edited June 20, 20188 yr by DZMM
June 20, 20188 yr No need to scan or add muxes. Make sure your view level is Expert and set Service ID to 1. Untick Scan After Creation and Idle Scan, tick Skip Startup Scan. That way it'll add all the muxes without scanning.
June 20, 20188 yr I actually found out what the problem was, by trying something completely different, thanks for all your help. The file was encoded in UTF-8-BOM, which somehow was not compatible. I changed it to UTF-8 and tada, it works.
June 20, 20188 yr I dont get it. Since some days the adapter seems to be away (in tvheadend). I use latest eleec unraid version. Didnt changed anything. If i ssh and look for /dev/dvb/ i can see adapter0... i added "device" pointing to /dev/dvb , like before, like i said, i didnt changed anything. What else can i check? unraid-server-diagnostics-20180620-1849.zip
June 20, 20188 yr Newbie with this docker needing some help please. I attempted to edit my working docker and add access to a share containing a script but it seems perhaps my idea to use this particular share was not a good one (/boot/custom/bin). After hitting apply and seeing a failed startup I see now the docker no longer appears in the unRAID Docker Containers page Basic View. Advanced view in the unRAID Docker page shows the below (orphan image) Image ID: f28ecf1b0581 linuxserver/tvheadend:release-4.2 Might there be a relatively simple way to recover, a file I could edit or perhaps a restore of some kind from a daily backup I took using the CA Backup / Restore Appdata plugin? Thanks for any help! Edited June 20, 20188 yr by dabl

Thanks for any help! If you got to CA and to previous apps, you could reinstall it. Might have to remove what you added if it's in the template. Save the script in the appdata folder of tvheadend instead. Then you don't need to add a new mapping and it will be owned by the abc user inside the container.

Thanks for the quick reply and info on how to do what I was trying the right way. I've never done any kind of restore using the CA Backup / Restore Appdata plugin. Looking at the manual it seems it's designed for a disaster and restoring everything. How might I attempt to remove what I added in the template?

I may be a little confused on exactly what you mean when you say the volume mount I added and exactly where I should look for that. Just to be clear, I edited the docker and choose Add another Path, Port, Variable, Label or Device Then in the Add Configuration dialog window I added the below Config Type: Path Container Path: Script Host Path: /boot/custom/bin Looking at the file from the CA Backup / Restore Appdata plugin I see it's just a .tar and contains the entire tvheadend folder from /mnt/user/appdata I should be able to restore that easily enough (I think) but wonder how to handle the Docker template. Would it make sense to try and re-install the docker using Community Applications and then restore my tvheadend folder from the backup?

You have not lost your appdata, it's just the container that was deleted. This is because when you change anything in the template, it needs to delete the old container first and then recreate it with whatever you added or removed. Since you added a path that somehow didn't work, it deleted the old one, but then failed to create it again. So if you don't see the path you added when you add tvheadend again from the previous apps in CA, you are good to go. No need to restore anything from CA backup.

June 20, 20188 yr permissons can be wrong for the adapter? XD like i said, the latest RC eleec root@Unraid-Server:~# ls -l /dev/dvb/adapter0/ total 0 crw-rw---- 1 root video 212, 1 Jun 20 18:22 demux0 crw-rw---- 1 root video 212, 2 Jun 20 18:22 dvr0 crw-rw---- 1 root video 212, 0 Jun 20 18:22 frontend0 crw-rw---- 1 root video 212, 3 Jun 20 18:22 net0 root@Unraid-Server:~# ls -l /dev/dvb/ total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 120 Jun 20 18:22 adapter0/ Why do they change on their own!?

So if you don't see the path you added when you add tvheadend again from the previous apps in CA, you are good to go. No need to restore anything from CA backup. Ah ok, now we're getting somewhere. So the drill to recover from a broken container was to simply re-install using the the unRAID 'Apps' page. Select the green 'Hamburger' icon, then 'Previous Apps', see tvheadend, click to install. I did in fact see the 'bad' path I added before and simply used the 'Remove' button to get rid of it and hit 'Apply'. Everything back to normal. Thanks for your help saarg, greatly appreciated!

I don't know why it has changed. It's nothing to do with tvheadend though. Do a chmod -R 755 /dev/dvb and it should be fixed.

I guess problem is not solved, the rights were changed again. But how, from what? I noticed bc tvheadend stopped responding, then i restartet and adapter is again away.
