What should I be able to view and control in Chorus 2 with TVHeadend 4.2 Installed

I am running LibreELEC 8.2.5 on Wetek Play 2 with HTS Tvheadend 4.2.3-20 and LibreELEC Tvh-addon v8.2.112 installed.

I have configured TVHeadend and can see the TV channels and EPG when viewing LibreELEC on my TV via HDMI. However I would prefer to use the system headless if possible and access and control the system via Chorus 2.

However although I can view Kodi in Chorus 2 when I click on the PVR icon I can only see the TV Channels as large thumbnails. I cannot view the EPG. If I double click on one of the Channel thumbnails e.g. BBC 2 the Thumbnail view changes to a list view with an arrow to play and a radio button to record. If I click play nothing happens?

I am not sure if there is a fault or if I have not configured Kodi correctly.

Should I be able to view the same EPG layout via Chorus 2 as viewing directly via an HDMI connection? If not is there a way to view and schedule recordings via Chorus 2

I also appear to get some socket connection errors whilst viewing either in Chrome, Edge or IE11. Could this be the issue?

I am trying to view the box over my gigabit LAN not outside the network.

Any assistance for this Newbie would be appreciated

Thanks Bubblegum57,

I can view TVHeadend webpage and make changes to channel sorting etc but I cant any view any of the channel streams. When I click on a channel I either get a prompt to download an m3U file or if I select watch TV from the toolbar I get "Loading" followed by "an unknown error has occurred"

Again I dont know if this is a configuration issue or a fault?

That's exactly what I have tried and I get "An Unknown Error Occurred" Do I need a specific plug in for the browser or does it use HTML5?

Fozzie

Ahhh,

Perhaps that's the problem. In the Stream Profiles I only have Audio, Matroska and Pass listed no other options.

In Stream configuration settings there is a default htsp but this is not listed in the drop down box of the viewer window unless that is the default "Blank" option

Thyanks for your patience on this Bubblegum57

Version of TV Headend As per your reply and original post. Version is HTS Tvheadend 4.2.3-20 ~ LibreELEC Tvh-addon v8.2.112

Settings were set to Advanced now Expert

Below is a screenshot of my view of tvheadend. When I choose new stream there are no other formats to choose from other than the defaults listed previously. there is certainly no WEBM/built in unless I am looking at completely the wrong menu

I assume I click on Stream Tab, then Stream Profile, then click green + button which open an Add Stream Profile window. From here the only options in drop down are Mpeg-TS Pass-through/built-in Matroska (mkv) built-in, HTSP Stream Profile and Audio Stream (HTSP Stream Profile is only visible now I have selected Expert view)

Either I am in the completely wrong section of the settings or something has not been installed properly!

I just found this post on the TVheadend Forum.

This user had exactly the same problem as I have in that he couldn't see all the "Expert" settings. Unfortunately I am on latest build so unless I can find a newer nightly build I may have to wait as mine is a specific version for Wetek Play 2.

Thanks again for your patience and help but I already have all those permissions as admin.

When I have a moment I will uninstall TVHeadend and re-install it from scratch to see if it makes any difference. I don't suppose there is a way to back up and re-import the configuration so I don't have to edit all the channels again?
