XBian tvheadend package

[mk01]

@starous

by include you mean pre-configured deb as others, available in xbian apt repo? or directly with this deb preinstalled on image?

personally I will always highly prefer nothing preinstalled. to keep things simple. first run wizard is informing user on dedicated slide about many packages being available for one click install.

i have tvheadend binaries available as I'm using it myself. if this is ok conf setup, I can create the deb in few days.

A pre-configured deb would be great ;-)

for testing

xbian-package-tvheadend 1.0.0 at Beta2 repo.

Awesome, I will try it tonight, but first I will have to find and install the latest beta2.

Thanks.

Setting up xbian-package-tvheadend (1.0.0) ...
dpkg: error processing xbian-package-tvheadend (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Terminal

dpkg --configure -a

doesn't help

How do I check what's the problem?

edit1:
I "solved" it by removing the content of /var/lib/dpkg/info/xbian-package-tvheadend.postinst

Now I am asked for a user and password when I am opening the url http:\\serverip:9981

edit2:
Solved by adding "-C" to the ARGS var in /etc/init/tvheadend.conf

@Killerbee

now I realized as I'm pfixing the package.

I was fine with testing because I already had tvheadend config directory. But your new install failed because there is no user database existing. -C will create empty user (no user / pass).

Don't keep -C in the script as it will reset users on each start.

the package will check upon install whether config files exists, specially at least one user account. if doesn't exists, installer will create xbian:raspberry.

Are you an tvheadend expert

I am not able to get it working.
Copied the firware found on the net to /lib/firware.
I added my USB cinergy hybrid stick.
Stick is found firmware is loaded.
Configured tvheadend (add DVB Network adapter)
Did initial scan
Mapped found services to channels.
Added the TVheadend PVR addon (default config)
Activate PVR
All looks OK
I am able to "see" the channels in XBMC but I am not able to watch them.

mk01 prepared a tvheadend xbian package (available in the beta2 repo).

install it using the CLI

Terminal

apt-get install xbian-package-tvheadend

Please check the user creation "hts"
some settings are not saved due to permissions issues.

I will double check. I have two pi's.
Xbian config doesn allow me to specify two comma seperated mpeg2 licences codes.
So maybe I configured the wrong one.

@mk01
Could you please check the user creation "hts". tvheadend daemon is not able to save some setting files.

I started with APT repo rebuild and didn't finish what I wanted to tell you. So the first issue the login for new installs - of course running user is part of that. then I realized the hts user.

I wanted be polite so I took the full examples from tvheadend (as they prefer creation of custom packages this way). I should have used my install as template

Nevetherless. The intention is:

1) running user xbian - you already have the 1.0.0 which config file won't get overwritten. change user in /etc/default/tvheadend from hts to xbian
2) install is checking number of files in /home/xbian/.hts/tvheadend/accesscontrol. if = 0, it creates default user xbian:raspberry. you used -C, should be no needed anymore.

because you installed the 1.0.0, hts user non existent, no default configs under ~/.hts -- under which user tvheadend is running finally ? you created hts user ?

In any case I would do:

Code:

sudo -i
stop tvheadend
mv /root/.hts /home/xbian/.hts    (/root/.hts should reflect your current setup - home dir of tvheadend effective process owner home)
chmod -Rc xbian:xbian /home/xbian/.hts
sed -i 's/TVH_USER=.*/TVH_USER="xbian"/g' /etc/default/tvheadend
start tvheadend

thanks for explaining.

I noticed some issues in the postinst script

PHP Code:

#!/bin/bash

if [[ $1 == "configure" ]]; then

    if [ ! -e /home/xbian/.hts/accesscontrol ] || [ -z "$(ls /home/xbian/.hts/tvheadend/accesscontrol | grep -c .)" ]; then
cat <<\EOF > /home/xbian/.hts/tvheadend/accesscontrol/1
{
        "enabled": 1,
        "username": "xbian",
        "password": "n",
        "comment": "Default access entry",
        "prefix": "192.168.1.0/24",
        "streaming": 1,
        "dvr": 1,
        "dvrallcfg": 1,
        "webui": 1,
        "admin": 1,
        "id": "1"
} 


User is xbian password is n (instead of raspberry)

Also the postinst script was not able to create the /home/xbian/.hts/tvheadend/accesscontrol/1 files.

Also I had to remove this part of the 1 file:

"prefix": "192.168.1.0/24",

I am using 192.168.2.0/24 (removing the prefix just works)
