Warning: if you have previously used this package, you need to reinstall! Sorry for introducing breaking changes, but hopefully the introduced changes will provide a better experience for most users. :)

Backup your configs (if needed) before performing the upgrade!

Changes:

TVHeadend will be installed to /var/lib/tvheadend instead of /usr/share/tvheadend
Package will create the system user tvheadend (member of group video) with config files stored in /etc/tvheadend, it will not use a home directory anymore.
By using sysusers.d and tmpfiles.d permissions should be easier to manage.
tvheadend.service now includes -C by default.
Added some missing deps

If you have any questions or suggestions, please let me know. :)

I started up a wiki page for Tvheadend. Input and help is welcome.

@willemw thanks for looking so quickly, and yes builds fine now... appreciate the help.

willemw commented on 2025-10-06 09:00 (UTC)

@glenb77: Thanks. "libav" was not enabled (for the current ffmpeg version), while "vaapi" is enabled, and that caused a build error.

glenb77 commented on 2025-10-05 14:59 (UTC)

after updating my system, new ffmpeg and related av libs, had to rebuild tvheadend and get failure: it stops here:

"make -f Makefile.webui WEBUI=debug compile-debug make[2]: Entering directory '/home/g/tvheadend-git/src/tvheadend-git' WEBUI debug finished make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/g/tvheadend-git/src/tvheadend-git' make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/g/tvheadend-git/src/tvheadend-git' ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build()."

did manage to build directly from tvh github, had to change options in configure and then copy resulting binary to /usr/bin and also copy the webgui files to /var/lib/tvheadend/webui and i have it running.

any help appreciated would like to have pkg in sync with arch. thanks.

@rootlis: Thanks. Fixed.

In the ./configure step, --mandir=/usr/share/man/man1 should be --mandir=/usr/share/man. Otherwise, the man page gets installed to /usr/share/man/man1/man1/tvheadend.1.gz, and man tvheadend doesn't work (at least on my system).

skaface82: Thanks for the suggestion. libhdhomerun is now optional and the hdhomerun built-in client is now optionally enabled.

skaface82 commented on 2024-08-11 09:48 (UTC)

Just suggesting that libhdhomerun(aur) should be an optional dependency. I'm not sure how popular these devices are with tvheadend users and if its worth making everyone install the libhdhomerun aur package by default, but I just removed the dependency from my PKGBUILD to successfully build the package.

Libav (transcoding) has been disabled until FFmpeg 7 is supported.

glenb77 commented on 2024-06-22 18:52 (UTC)

fwiw; i tried to build today after updating system brought in new ffmpeg; and i got a build failure, i was on the older ffmepg4.4 build. for the meantime i took out the configure line --disable static ffmmpeg, and it built. and installed. hope to go back and get it w/o a static build once fixed. but happy to have it work.
