[REQUEST] tvheadend and showtime

A TV DVR recorder/server. Also the client side showtime.

A nice web page front-end to control recordings and who can contact etc. These should be very easy to use.

Re: [REQUEST] tvheadend and showtime

I have been looking for something like tvheadend so I had a go.  I'm sure that they can be improved tongue, but here are the PKGBUILD, install file and rc-script that I made:

PKGBUILD (x86_64 only because that's what I'm running and it is svn because the release version wouldn't compile)

pkgname=hts-tvheadend-svn
pkgver=3035
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Combined DVB receiver, Digital Video Recorder and Showtime streaming server for Linux"

# Note: _svntrunk URL must end with /tvheadend otherwise the whole
# repository will be checked out, showtime and all

  fi

exit 0

The daemon starts and stops, the web server allows me to log in and it recognises my dvb-t card.  I haven't tried to do anything significant like scanning for channels or scheduling a recording yet.

Re: [REQUEST] tvheadend and showtime

Follow-up:  I think that I might like tvheadend but I've given up on showtime.  The current source needed patching in four places to resolve "no return statement in function returning non-void" errors from gcc 4.4, and then when I'd done that I found that it segfaulted immediately after being started because gnome-screensaver was not installed and running.  Maybe it has a setting to turn that requirement off but I didn't bother trying to find out because I'm using Xfce and I don't want to install more parts of gnome than I absolutely have to!

Re: [REQUEST] tvheadend and showtime

Nice work! I figured that the showtime had probs with gcc 4.4. So I will make a request to the developer for gcc 4.4 patch and solution for disabling gnome-screensaver. Let's see what happens.

I loved the idea of recording tv to a matroska format. Now I have to settle with DVR in server and dvr-sxfe/xbmc in the living room media player.

Re: [REQUEST] tvheadend and showtime

Oh, and I've found that tvheadend needs a small patch to be able to find xmltv grabbers (if installed using the Arch xmltv package):

xmltv_grabber_path.patch

Re: [REQUEST] tvheadend and showtime

This is overwhelming. That patch is not required anymore. Grab the latest svn

  LIST_FOREACH(xg, &xmltv_grabbers, xg_link)
    xg->xg_dirty = 1;

  change =  xmltv_scan_grabbers("/bin");
  change |= xmltv_scan_grabbers("/usr/bin");
  change |= xmltv_scan_grabbers("/usr/local/bin");
  // Arch linux puts xmltv grabbers in /usr/bin/perlbin/vendor
  change |= xmltv_scan_grabbers("/usr/bin/perlbin/vendor"); 

  if((path = getenv("PATH")) != NULL) {

I think showtime will compile too, very soon smile

Re: [REQUEST] tvheadend and showtime

Wow!  I asked about xmltv grabbers on the HTS Development mailing list this morning and Andreas Öman responded that he would make the change.

PS. I've already uploaded the package to AUR (hts-tvheadend-svn).  I'll have to go and update it now!

Re: [REQUEST] tvheadend and showtime

I compiled showtime with gcc43 package from archvdr ( http://apps.sourceforge.net/trac/archvdr/wiki/ArchVDR ).

--disable-libasound removed alsa errors. I dont remember what they were but they refered to c file.

I get this error

Re: [REQUEST] tvheadend and showtime

That error comes from within showtime.  You could check that you have your locale set up correctly but, really, I wouldn't advise messing about with gcc 4.3.  Here's the PKGBUILD and gcc 4.4 patches that I put together for showtime:

Re: [REQUEST] tvheadend and showtime

Showtime builds if you remove -Werror and -O2 from the CFLAGS in the Makefile. However it doesn't seem to have any functionality, there is only an empty playlist screen and a settings screen with a couple of options. Thanks for the tvheadend PKGBUILDS on aur btw. What are you using to watch things?

EDIT: It does work, you just need to add htsp://ip:9982 to the command line to play anything. I was expecting some kind of button in the application. When you do this you get a list of channels which can be clicked and played, but I can't work out how to do anything else.

Re: [REQUEST] tvheadend and showtime

Unfortunately, though I can build showtime I cannot get it to start without segfaulting.  In the meantime, I made myself some vdr packages and I'm using vdr exclusively for television watching and recording.
