Just installed the lastest XBian with Kodi 16.1 on a Raspberry Pi Model B+. Logged in and installed tvheadend with apt-get install xbian-package-tvheadend, rebooted and then attempted to access http://<IP address here>:9981. Web page appears and prompt for tvheadend login pops up. Copy and paste details from .hts/tvheadend/accesscontrol/1, but get "Login Rejected, try again?"
Is this a known issue with a fix? Or was the install procedure wrong? Or something else?
Any constructive assistance or questions welcome. Hoping to get OTA TV soon.

Seems to be issue in tvheadend, IMO they changed authorization database structure and setting default xbian/raspberry user does not longer work.
To get access to tvheadend without username/password, please add -C parameter in file /etc/default/tvheadend (see also
here)
Code:
# TVH_ARGS
# add any other arguments
TVH_ARGS="-C"
and then restart tvheadend
Terminal
sudo restart tvheadend
This should help
Thanks much! Will give it a try. Hopefully this will get documented somewhere? Or have people given up on OTA TV? Ready made settop boxes for the purpose (that work) cost way more than an RPi.

Yeah, seems to be uncool using OTA tv
Only fresh installations are affected, not older ones with already existing tvheadend configuration
I'm already testing a fix for that issue
Fixed, FYI look
here
Please note you have to remove all files from folder /home/xbian/.hts/tvheadend/accesscontrol/ before installing new fixed package

Your last post is not very informative
Well, it was informative until the forum ate it. Got into tvheadend alright, setup passwords, then discovered that the TV tuner was not being detected. It is a Hauppauge WintTV 850. There is no /dev/dvb/ directory, but lsmod turns up a bunch of modules that got loaded, see below. Some of those look relevant. I had this tuner working on my desktop x86 linux box a few months ago, but the tuner is not detected there either now. Thanks for all the help so far, googling has been less than successful.

media 11951 4 cx231xx,cx25840,tuner,videodev
In my own experience there are two reasons for this behavior:
1) the stick does not 'like' the usb port (had this issue here using cubieboard2 and terratec dvb-c stick)
2) firmware is missing (your device requires firmware file). I'm sure you already found this

Hello
I've edited the file and restarted the service, no luck. Tvheadend just doesn't care...
Still can't connect.

What happened before? Any updates, system crash, new installation ???
Well, I've reinstalled some weeks ago. Everything is working fine, but I can't remember the password I set, a typo error when I set it up, or most likely I'm getting old...
I had a power outage during an update.
Everything got corrupted and I had to reinstall an restore my backup.
but still no access to tvheadend gui. Do you know how to reset the password?
Ok I finally managed it
Code:
service tvheadend stop
tvheadend -C
I and I could connect to the gui. :-)
