Tvheadend Server fails to start?

Choder · March 9, 2018 at 5:48 AM

I have libreelec installed on a c2 odroid and it has been running perfect for a month. Now tvheadend server will not start. I can't even login or open the webclient.

Here is my log Upu

Any help would be appreciated.

Could you upload the service.log from the tvh userdata folder?

So I have power cycled my router that has Tomatoe firmware installed on it and now Libreelec is working fine with TVheadend server.

has Tomatoe firmware installed

Just saying, Tomatoe is horrible outdated and unmaintained for 8 years If this happens again maybe time to switch to something up to date.

I should clarify and say I'm using Advanced Tomato, with the December 2017 build.

Well I was wrong. I guess by chance Libreelec just started working when I power cycled the router. But it is back to doing the same thing. If / or when I am able to SSH into it I will grap the service.log and post it. It will sit there for hours and then suddenly start working for now reason. Kodi starts up, but the tvheadend server will not. I am trying to avoid setting up libreelec again, as it takes a while with my OTA and IPTV channels.

CvH, thanks for helping me with this.

So here is the complete log. This is all that is in there. I restarted Libreelec and its like TVheadend isn't installed. It boots into Kodi, I try enabling and disabling tvheadend and nothing changes.

I am almost thinking that there is a hardware issue with the Odroid C2. Because if I let it sit for a few hours it just randomly starts working.

And will randomly stop working. I am going to install Libreelec on another card and try it. Rule out this OS thing and see if its hardware related.
