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.

Build failure: The build currently fails in src/main.c due to an outdated macro call for codec_init (using vainfo_probe_enabled), which also triggers an unused variable error under strict compiler flags. Upstream needs to update the tvhftrace call for codec_init to drop the extra argument.

You cannot easily downgrade to ffmpeg 8, because of all the version restrictions in several dependencies. And support for ffmpeg 9 can take while.

Changing to the built-in ffmpeg (changing --disable-ffmpeg_static "$libav_option" to --enable-libav) is probably the only solution, at least for now.

After updating ffmpeg to version 9, tvheadend can no longer be started and terminates at "/usr/bin/tvheadend: error while loading shared libraries: libavfilter.so.11: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory".

Recompilation then fails with: "In file included from src/tvheadend.h:41, from src/main.c:39: src/main.c: In Funktion »main«: src/main.c:1305:22: error: zu viele Argumente für Funktion »codec_init«; 0 erwartet, 1 bekommen 1305 | tvhftrace(LS_MAIN, codec_init, vainfo_probe_enabled); | ^~ src/tvhlog.h:259:3: note: in definition of macro »tvhftrace« 259 | fcn(VA_ARGS); \ | ^~~ In file included from src/main.c:71: src/transcoding/codec.h:186:1: note: hier deklariert"

Thanks. Updated.

The following need to be added to CFLAGS in addition to '-Wno-error=discarded-qualifiers':

-Wno-error=unused-but-set-variable -Wno-error=format-truncation

@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.
