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.

Yes i agree with @Wild_Penguin: pleas @zman0900 add libdvbcsa as dependency: it is now mandatory as old ffdecsa code was completly removed: Sees: https://github.com/tvheadend/tvheadend/commit/f0618ec9891ca8d1864e165f7814310e3dbe8df2 And https://github.com/tvheadend/tvheadend/commit/4e7f837c7055f4cb173164ca31af139e0a7858a5

How come with this built I don't see the "EPG Grabber Modules" after the "EPG Grabber" tab? I have to fake this file /home/hts/.hts/tvheadend/epggrab/config to make my external tv_grab_file work (but those EPG Grabber Modules" don't pop up). Doesn't this file and others get populated after compiling? Does anyone have this issue of not getting this file: /home/hts/.hts/tvheadend/epggrab/config ?

The answer is in this thread I had opened on tvheadend website: https://tvheadend.org/boards/4/topics/30868

Just a small note: while upgrading from tvheadend to tvheadend-git, it seems that the user "hts" is deleted and then re-created. This will cause a change of UID, which will cause problems if a configuration is desired to be re-used (granted, moving from stable to git version might cause problem, but I wanted to give it a shot in any case).

Both /home/hts and your recording folder(s) ownerships need to be re-set manually.

Regarding the disappearance of "linuxtv-dvb-apps" as an Arch Linux package. I can't tell when that happened, but I do see that there was an AUR package of the same name created four days ago (6th) here:

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/linuxtv-dvb-apps/

The comment there indicates it's broken in a couple of places, but there are workarounds. So for those that may still need it, there's some hope.

zman0900 commented on 2018-01-09 00:44 (UTC)

I removed dependency on linuxtv-dvb-apps since it was removed from the arch repos from some reason. I don't see any missing features without it, but I also live in an ATSC country, so let me know if this causes problems.

zman0900 commented on 2017-12-02 06:29 (UTC)

@davep: I did #1 to allow makepkg to manage all the downloads. For similar reasons, I disabled all the "static" dependencies so instead of make downloading and building them, the (possibly already installed) system versions will be used. #2: I have removed libmfx and qsv flags, but nvenc is still there in configure.

davep commented on 2017-11-24 14:29 (UTC)

A couple of changes now we are on the 4.3 development version: 1. It is no longer necessary to download the dvb scan tables separately. The Makefile will download them if --enable-dvbscan is specified (the default). 2. These configuration options are no longer used: libmfx_static, qsv, nvenc.

I manually call makepkg and keep the files around for subsequent builds. If doing so, the copying of the dvb-scan-tables repository fails after the first build because git creates the object files as read-only (444) which makes "cp -a" fail with a permission denied error. cp has a force flag that will make cp remove the file if it can not write to it before copying it over again. So i would suggest to change the call to cp to include the force flag like this: 'cp -af "dvb-scan-tables" "${_dvbscan}"'
