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.

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.

@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.
