pvr server on same device?

jdauthre · December 5, 2023 at 1:21 PM

Apologies if this is a stupid question, I am new to this! I have successfully created a libreelectric installation, but I am assuming I need a pvr server as well, can I install one on the same device as libreelectric, if so how do I do this? I was thinking of tvheadend

Thanks in advance

You can find TVHeadend, NextPVR and VDR backends bundled with LE. Team LibreELEC promote TVHeadend, but there is also good dedicated support for NextPVR at https://forums.nextpvr.com/ if you need help.

CoreELEC did post some wiki help for TVHeadend https://wiki.coreelec.org/coreelec:tvheadend and NextPVR https://wiki.coreelec.org/coreelec:nextpvr but the instructions would be the same.

I’d recommend TVHeadend. It’s a simple installation of two addons, the first being the server and the other being the client.

You’ll find the server addon and the client addon in the LibreELEC repository >Services>TVHeadend Server 4.3(Alpha) and the client on >PVR clients>TVHeadend HTSP Client.

Once the server addon is installed you can configure it remotely with the aid of the TVH Wizard. Very simple indeed.

Many thanks I thought the installation only had the tvheadend client, all fine now. I think the setup wiki could be more extensive, it doesnt go beyond the basic installation of libreelectric

Anyone can contribute documentation to our wiki .. markdown isn't hard to learn.

Tvheadend will also be getting a new website/forum soon and then one of the 'elephants in the room' is for them to sort out the multiple (but all outdated) sets of documentation they have.
