Locked myself out of tvheadend

  • OK, so ive been my usual dumb ass self and changed the username in the web UI it now wont let me log in. are there any options other than a do over, I had just got it sorted how i wanted then decided to try and make it more secure. Don't ask why as i cant bloody answer. sometimes my own stupidity knows absolutely no bounds.

    Please help!

    also just bought one of the xbox one tuners... great find!!

  • You can back up all your tvheadend settings by copying the userdata/addon_data/service.tvheadend42 folder

    Then if you reinstall a clean tvheadend - just don't copy over the accesscontrol folder.

    But - if you can access the accesscontrol folder - just open the files that are in there (with any text editor) and you can see what the username is.  :)
