No TV main menu item

dschlic1 · June 18, 2020 at 10:58 PM

Now I have a different problem. I don't have a TV item on the main menu. The Tvheadend server is running, I can access the web configuration pages. I created a new user just for the Tvheadend HTSP client. I have tried clearing the caches, rebooted several times, still no TV item. Any ideas on how to find out why?

BTW when I go to the configuration of the client, the run button is greyed out.

just post a kodi log, I would bet onto wrong username/password ?

Please provide a full debug log.

How to post a log (wiki)

1. Enable debugging in Settings>System Settings>Logging
2. Restart Kodi
3. Replicate the problem
4. Generate a log URL (do not post/upload logs to the forum)

use "Settings > LibreELEC > System > Paste system logs" or run "pastekodi" over SSH, then post the URL link

Have you enabled, I think, it's PVR in settings?

I created a log file, the URL is:

Hello you are running multiple pvr Services. Maybe that ist the root of the Problem.

Also you need to Setup the tvh hts pvr Client to Work with the tvh Server.

Can you elaborate? What PVR services besides TvHeadEnd are running? Also What more do I need to do to configure the client? It looks like it is connecting to the service.

Hello

1. Hdhomerun simple ist installed.

Ist this the pvr or the Video Plugin?

For Testing I would remove it.

2. Are you using Hardware from digital devices? Cuz the drivers are installed.

3.which Tuner are you using ecactly?

If thv Server is running on the Same PC Set the IP at the pvr thv htsp Client to 127.0.0.1

Http Port 9981

Htsp Port 9982

Username and Password has to be Set according to your thv Server User settings

And you have Setup tvh Server completly Up and running with TV Channels mapped/ configured and working ( you can Check this from the tvh Channels Page of your tvh server http://yourtvhserverip:9981/extjs.html)

Regards

I will try and un-install HdHomeRun simple. The model of my tuner is HDHR5-2US. All muxes and services are mapped/configured etc. In fact the server is recording shows I have existing rules for.

On another note, it looks like the client is connecting to the server because when I reboot the computer I get a message at the lower right corner stating the the client has lost connection to the server!

What exactly needs to happen for the TV menu item to show up?

1. Have you checked the Username and Password on the Client and Server configuration User?

This Message also comes Up If you don't have any Connection to the Server.

2. Is Htsp and Pass activated at the configuration Stream Profile Menu?

Pass should be activated and Set and IT should be Default. Htsp should be activated too.

Regards

I am sorry, I should of said that I get the connection message when I start to reboot the computer.

I still cannot figure out why the TV menu item is not showing up. I will post an updated log below. I have tried:

Un-installing and re-installing the client

Changing the skin back to Estuary. TV does show up on menu but all items are blank. When I try to open the guide, no guide is shown

I have un-installed all other TV addons.

I have tried using an older version of the TvHeadEnd PVR client.

I have deleted all muxes in the service, and re-scanned.

I have verified that the user name and password works by opening the web configuration using them

PASS and HTSP are both enabled in the service.

According to my reading of the logs, the PVR client is connecting to the service, and is reading data from it. Here is the latest log:

I don't understand logs.

My suggestion, install the tvhead server. Then install client, on client, configure settings, use the ip address of the device you are installing it on. I assume server & client are on the same device.

then set a user name & password. I just use admin & 1234.

reboot, go to web interface, follow wizard, scan & map channels.
