yea, it's in there too...just not showing in TVH...I've restarted 30-40 times already :(

What does the log say? You also have to connect the EPG data to the channels. It's not always done automatically if the name of the channel in tvheadend and the guide.xml is not the same.

You need to read the documentation on how this works as you have not configured it correctly.

How do I know this? You don't have the EPG grabber modules tab. So read the documentation or find some guide on the internet for how to set up grabbing.

 

The XML file doesn't go in the /config folder. It goes in /config/data and you use the tv_grab_file grabber. But first read up on how to enable that module in tvheadend.

Gotta hint as to where those instructions are at?

I'm not talking about our documentation, butrhe tvheadend documentation, which is easily found using the help button in the tvheadend  webui or using Google.

The fix is really silly......in TVH go to

configuration, general, view mode

and turn on expert...then it shows up.....Sheesh...TVH, lol

Ticking the View Mode in the EPG Section does nothing...It's gotta be done from here.....image.png.08c4e701fac5a379f4e07cde844bde57.png

This is the first time trying to setup tvheadend and cannot see my tuner card in the TV adapters section .  I've tried adding in --device /dev/dvb, but then the container will not start.

On my system devices list, it does show up...

What am I doing wrong? or is this card not compatible...

Have you installed the dvb plugin and downloaded a build?

Thanks.  I didn't know about the linuxserver.io dvb plugin.  I installed it and tried a couple of his builds.  even though the dvb was installed, it showed that a tv card was not installed.  I then checked out the DVB site and my card (ASUS) is not compatible (although not directly listed although it is an ASUS line of cards)... 

 

I also have a HDHomerun network tuner also, so I'll use that instead.

 

Thanks.

I have got two instances of tvheadend in host network mode as docker containers up and running in the same network . Now i want to change the http port of one of them. Where can I find the config file ? Is it enough when i just change TVH_HTTP_PORT="" to run them simultaneously?

 

Thank you

Why do you need to change the port? There is no problems using the same port if the IPs are different. If you are running both on the same host using host network, that is a different story.

 

Read the readme for how to add tvheadend runtime variables.

Hi,

 

Just migrating from OMV to unraid.
Now it's time to install TVHeadend, but I'm not sure if I should go with docker or plugin ? any advantages ?
If I choose the docker way, I have to install the 'unraid DVB' plugin to have DVR support in unraid + the docker image, right ?
Thanks

I asked that before and was told there was no specific to use 1 over the other. I went for the docker route as I thought it was just easier to see how you're setting up directories for recordings etc. when using the docker interface.

 

I think you still need the DVB plugin and then pass the device through to the docker. I use a networked HD Homerun so it just worked.

I'm trying to configure tv_grab_eu_xmltvse, when I try to configure it with --configure I get the below and configuration fails.

https://pastebin.com/rYmgdkYs

 

Noted that the xmltv version shipped with the Docker container is 0.6.1, latest is 0.6.3 (not sure if it's intentional)

I've also noticed that some picons are not updated when comparing with the source, e.g. vfilmfamily.

Is that the output of just running it with --configure, or are you entering anything also?

 

We manually bump the xmltv version, so we haven't gotten that far yet.

 

We get the picons from picons.xyz, so most likely they have old ones.

Yes, I've tried with docker exec -it -u abc tvheadend /usr/bin/tv_grab_eu_xmltvse --configure on my host and /usr/bin/tv_grab_eu_xmltvse --configure from the console in the Docker, same result. It fails and creates an empty TMP file .xmltv/tv_grab_eu_xmltvse.conf.TMP. I never get to the part where I get to select country etc.

 

The picons I compared with came from picons.eu so that's the same source right? https://github.com/picons/picons/archive

It's probably missing a dependency or something I would guess then.

 

The picons are from that repo yes, and the last version built is the same as you linked. But the picons builder only builds ones a week and it does not trigger a new build of tvheadend. So it might be the picons in the container is one week old.

Think it might be wrong perl version. Container is shipped with 5.30, on https://github.com/XMLTV/xmltv they state

Quote

The system requirements are Perl 5.8.3 or later, and a few Perl modules. You will be asked about some optional components; if you choose not to install them then there are fewer dependencies.

Think it might be wrong perl version. Container is shipped with 5.30, on https://github.com/XMLTV/xmltv they state

 

30 is clearly a much larger number than 8 or 16. I suppose the larger number means later, but who knows nowadays.

The system requirements are Perl 5.8.3 or later, and a few Perl modules. You will be asked about some optional components; if you choose not to install them then there are fewer dependencies.

Please note that in addition to the specific modules listed below, the tv_grab_zz_sdjson_sqlite grabber requires Perl 5.16 to be installed.

I've had the same initial reaction to version numbers, it's not just you. 🤣

I blame microsoft, who clearly did not start a good precedent by moving from windows 3.1 to 3.11, then releasing 3.2 afterwards. 11 is larger than 2, but was a prior release. microsoft ftw!
