You're close - hope it's something as simple as the cable!! Have fun at the picnic (while you're mind races about possible fixes for your pi)

It's definitely capable of being both. I've had three streams running (two recording and 1 watching) on my RPi3.

The stream may not be mpeg2...you can hit the "o" button while watching a stream (if you have a remote with a keyboard) and bring up the kodi player process window to see info about the stream. You can also check the signal quality there to make sure that's not the issue. I actually just had to remove an amplifier on my system as the signal was too strong for the wintv-dualhd.

Also - just to know - did you go with my LE 8 build or an 8.2 test build?

Hope that gives you some more info. Glad you got setup to this point!

What is your tv service that your trying to scan? Maybe I can help determine the mux settings or find a list for you.

dadof3monsters also want to make sure that you've installed both the tvheadend services addon and the tvheadend (hts) pvr client.

Basically - for a clean install my order is the following:

1. install LibreELEC on microsd
2. let it boot and setup your network, samba, ssh options
3. select addons and install both the tvh services (server) addon and the tvh client (hts) addon from the LibreELEC repository
4. browse the Kodi addons repository (just to make sure it is working)
5. reboot
6. install my tvh2kodi addon
7. run the wizard
8. confirm that you can watch a live tv channel from the kodi interface
9. back to tvh2kodi edit channels (remove the ones you don't want - or don't come in clearly)
10. set your dvr recording location
11. enjoy

Not all these steps may be necessary - but this has worked consitantly for me.

Option after that is to get your channel logos setup. If you want you start iwth this set of logos: Dropbox - tv_channel_icons_pack_by_ati711-d4a0spa.zip

Copy the ones you want into the picons/tvh folder on your pi. Rename the files to match the channel name (exactly). Then in tvh2kodi (latest version) go to the tvh base configuration section and change the channel icon scheme to no scheme. If you then reload the pvr/live tv data (kodi pvr/live tv settings) it should find the logos.

sometimes you need to get the libreelec and kodi repos to initiate by goinginto them in the addons section. I've noticed that when I just try to install my tvh2kodi and other addons on a clean system without having looked in the LE or kodi repositories - I get dependency errors (seems it doens't know how to download addons)

Just go to addons, click the install from repository and select the LE LibreELEC Add-ons and then back out and select the Kodi Addon repository.

This should initialize those repos and then you can install my tvh2kodi addon and it should install the dependencies. Let me know if that doesn't work!

Update in post #1

v1.5 (2017-07-14)

• add progress bar for internal epg grab
• add base tvh config parameters (set dvb scan files and channel icon paths)

The OTA guide info will load in. Tvh is already available in the LE builds (both backend server and client) so you won't have a problem installing. You can download the tvh2kodi addon release from github and put it on the microSD card - then load via install from zip. It isn't included in the LE builds yet. (I'm working on that)

As for the pi zero - while watching video the interface may be a bit sluggish.

Here are some answerrs for you:

1. Yes you can run the Tvh backend and client on the sam Rpi - you may run into playback issues (framedrops) if you're trying to record and playback at the same time - depending on how you have your recording storgae setup. Put the tuner on one USB port (vertical stack) and the usb drive on the other - that will help as each pair of USB ports only handles 480Mbps.
2. The Hauppauge WinTV-dual HD wil support both tuiners in the 8.2 release of LE. For now - you can use this build and it should work. hauppauge wintv-dual hd - only see one tuner
3. PVR playback resource use depends on the type of video file being decoded. So depending on your video source and whatever else you're trying to do - it's YMMV.
4. Pi does have to be on to record. There is a way to build in a cron wakeup for recording times using Tvh - but I think most people just leave it running.
5. I assume you mean ready to replace your TV box? Depends on what your needs are. If you're going to run LE and Tvh on your pi as a simple DVR - I believe it's good to go. Just a bit of configuring to get logos, guide data, etc and you'll be running something solid. For ease of getting up and running - with your described potential setup...I would suggest the build link above...then enable the Tvheadend server and client...then install my tvh2kodi addon and run the wizard to coinfigure your adapter.

You can always post your questions and issues here and someone will likely have an answer!

I could look at adding that to my tvh2kodi addon with a function that adds that line but also makes it editable.

Unfortunately, I'm currently testing 8.2 on my RPi3 - so I'm stuck on Tvh 4.2.275 - CvH do you have a current overnight Tvh build that will workon 8.2? The LE 8 overnights are not working for me in 8.2

Of course - I don't think I will be able to test comskip as I don't think this function works in USA...maybe I'm wrong but I don't think our system flags commercial breaks in any way in the ATSC signal.

It's the link on the previous page. You can also use CvH's 8.2 test image on that page if you want. It really depends on what other addons you will need. The standard LE 8.0.2 releases do not include the dual tuner support patches yet - the 8.2 release will once it's out.

Based on your decryption question - I'm guessing you're in Europe? Since we don't have that function here, I haven't really tested it...but I'm happy to have you see if it works and I can quickly work on any fixes.

Probably depends on how much comfort you have with testing/fixing. 8.2 might have a few issues or missing addons. I've been running on my RPi3 and seems to be good. However, as an example of addon updates - I can run a later version of Tvh on 8.0.2 as the nightly builds by CvH are readily available.

I would start with 8.0.2 and wait for the release of 8.2 if you want a reliable stable system.

P.S. Check out my tvh2kodi addon and you can use the built in wizard to get the tuner up and running quickly without having to use the web interface! tvh2kodi addon - configure tvheadend from kodi interface

v1.4 (2017-07-10)

• fix adapter network issue
• add multiple network support to adapter
• allow custom Tvh server ip to be recalled

Also - please note that this addon requires a minumum version of Tvheadend 4.2

ozkaradag here you go:

Let me know if you need more.

GDPR-1 I think I fixed the adapter network issue - and also added support to select multiple networks for an adapter.

Can you test this quick before I push the update to my git? script.module.tvh2kodi-1.3a.zip

Thanks!

GDPR-1 - thanks for the log. I see the issue with the adapter parameter - I had changed how this is pulled as Tvh occasionally modifies the api parameter order. Looks like I missed the change in the adapter section.

Should be an easy fix - I should be able to update later today. Just for reference which Tvh version are you running?

Thanks Raybuntu - once a few folks have tested and give feedback, I'll PR to the main LE repo as well. (once I learn how to do that!!)

- also found time this morning to add the DVB-S support. Post #1 updated!

Thanks! I will do that.

Post #1 updated with:
