I've dropped in the patch - but when I run this command:

PROJECT=RPi2 ARCH=arm ./scripts/create_addon tvheadend42

I get the following error:

I've run a full build from here before - so I'm not sure what is happening now. Do I have the build command line correct for the Tvh addon?

I need to do some testing of patches for the TVheadend service - but I've only done builds of the full LE for my RPi3 - what command would I use to just build the TvH addon? And where would I need to put the patch file if I'm just building the addon?

That's a really nice approach! Good install and boot. My K-world 435Q worked without enabling any of the dvb addons. My Hauppauge wintv-dual 955D worked with 1 tuner on the latest kernel driver (which makes sense).

Nice work!

OK - let me rework that section as it shouldn't prompt you if tvh is already stopped. Thanks for the update!

What type of fail do you get? Does it look like it is downloading and then unzipping? You can watch the .kodi/temp/folder to see if the temp tar.xz file is downloading. I don't see anything in that log that says error.

You don't have to know a url for the picons - it contains options to download some prebuilt packs.

What system are you running? Stopping the tvheadend service is a challenge on some systems, but it would help if I had a log. Also - if you really want to back it up - you can manually stop the tvheadend service (disbale it) then run the backup - then reenable the tvh service.

As an FYI - CvH has updated the tvh nightlies to include 8.0 and 8.2 versions.

Thanks CvH !!!

FYI - Nightly builds for RPi2 not working with LE 8.1 release (which is considered beta - so if not planning to support I understand).

All ub435-q versions are supported. I have v3 running on my RPi3.

I've also used it on my s905 (KII Pro) device.

Your DVB tuner can't work on ATSC in the US because the included demodulator will not have ATSC support.

The difference between the usb tuners often comes down to only the demodulator chip (the device that decodes the transmitted signal) - for example on my hauppauge usb dual tuner, the here are the spec differences between the DVB and ATSC versions:

Model 01590 (USB device ID 2040:0265) - DVB

• USB interface: Empia EM28274
• Demodulator: 2*Silicon Labs Si2168-B40
• Tuner: 2*Silicon Labs Si2157-A30

Model 01595 (USB device ID 2040:026d) - ATSC

• USB interface: Empia EM28274
• Demodulators: LG LGDT3306a
• Tuners: Silicon Labs Si2157

There you can see the real difference is the Demodulator - both can support QAM (cable tuner) - so you could use them for digital cable if the USA didn't encrypt theirs. The DVB will tune the ATSC signal (becuase the tuners are similar) but it won't know how to decode the signal into a stream that you can watch. Sorry. If you need a simple/cheap ATSC tuner - google search for kworld ub435-q. If you want dual tuner, search for WinTV-dualHD...but know that support in LibreELEC is coming for that - it's not included in the 8.1 release. Support is included as an addon in the Milhouse 9.0 builds.

If you're tryingt o edit the files in the default Confluence or Estuary skin that is included in LE - you won't find it as it is built into the kernel. You will have to install another skin first and then edit that set of files.

If you want to use Confluence or Estuary - you can install a mod version of those files from Kodi Community Forum - Confluence or Kodi Community Forum - Estuary then you will find the files in your userdata folder.

Got a pre-release version available that conatins a picons downloader under the base configuration menu.

Currently this release has access to download a set of worldwide icon packs from CvH (with two different naming schemes) and a US icon set in color, black or white. This is mainly included to get new installations up and running with a way to add picons without having to use a separate computer to download and transfer.

This will likely be the last separate release before submitting the addon to the LE repo - so please let me know if you have any issues or suggestions.

When I prep this addon for the LE repo I will be adding in the zstd compression binary to speed up downloads/extracts.

Thanks!

Release is here: Releases · edit4ever/script.module.tvh2kodi · GitHub

OK that's weird - I would suggest posting this issue under the kodi forums > Raspberry Pi > Kodi 18 LE Test Builds thread to see if someone there has suggestions.

Also - you could start at LE 8 - install the tvheadend addons (service and pvr client) then do the Milhouse update - it should update the addons automatically at that point.

Make sure you add the Milhouse custom channel...then make sure you go to addons and try to browse the LibreELEC repo to initiate it.

Then try to install tvh add-on.

The issue with running any Leia builds is lots of things can break on any given overnight release. Especially as the different add-ons are being adjusted. I just realized today that the entire add-on settings structure is being changed for Kodi 18 - so that is messing with some things. Although they're doing a good job of trying to build in backwards compatibility.

The way you probably want to go is with the LE 8.2 release when it happens. Until then - you could just stay on my temp build from LE 8.

If you choose to stay with LE 9 overnight builds - you need to make sure you setup the Milhouse add-ons custom channel info from testing notes 7 on the Kodi 18 forum for LE test builds. That way you'll get the updated add-ons.

So far - mine seem to work ok on LE 9 - but I will likely rework with proper settings and clean up the code when we get a lot closer to that release.

Which version of LE are you running now?

If you want to run the Milhouse alpha builds - you can install the standard 8.0.2 release - then use the instructions on the Milhouse builds post to upgrade to his latest build. Those build have moved away from including the media_build drivers - but you can enable them in the LibreELEC settings.

Once you do that and reboot you will have the driver for the dual tuners.

got it - so instead of messing with the file on a mounted virtual box folder - I should just clone my repo into my virtual ubuntu change permissions and push the commit - then in windows if I pull the change it should work?
