The DVB default mux definition files provided with TVHeadEnd have the center frequencies slightly off. For example the mux for channel 17 has as its center frequency 491.028 Mhz. However the real center frequency is 491.000 Mhz. This is typical for all pre-defined muxes for the USA. This small offset results in poor reception and signal degradation.

I manually changed all of the center frequencies, and reception is equal to or better than my Channel Master DVR. I have also started a bug report on the TVHeadend website.

The SSD is 120 Gb. One issue is that I don't think that I can access the rotating HD from the samba share.

I have installed and setup TvHeadEnd server and the TvHeadEnd client. Both appear to be working correctly. I have also installed zap2epg and set it up. When I enter the same user name and password that I use for the client, when I run zap2epg it says that it cannot connect to TVH and the user/password is incorrect. The user is configured in TVH server as a admin wit all rights enabled. I have also set TVH server to use zap2epg.

When I leave the username/password empty, zap2epg appears to hang up just saying it is working. Any ideas as to what is going on?

I have a x86 system with two drives: a small SSD which boots LE and a larger rotating HD where I would like Kodi to use for all user data. Right now Kodi is using the SSD for the storage directory/folder. How can I make Kodi use the storage file structure on the second non-boot drive?

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:

Kodi Log

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

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?

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.

I created a log file, the URL is:

Hope this helps.

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.

I found that there is a difference in frequencies reported by the HDHomerun app on my windows computer between when I use the SiliconDust supplied viewer and when I used my HTPC. The HTPC as I thought is 28+ KHZ off center frequency.

So I dove deep and modified an existing ATSC pre-defined mux file with center frequencies change to match SiliconDust. I re-scanned the muxes and services. and from the TvHeadEnd web page all looks good. However now Kodi is not seeing the TvHeadEnd server, TV is not listed on the main menu. Any ideas why TV is now not showing up?

live in the Tampabay area of Florida USA. I have a Silicon Dust HDHR5-2US. My HTPC is running Libreelec which used TVHeadEnd 4.2.7. In general the quality of the received TV signal on the HTPC is poor. I also have a Channel Master CM7000-PAL which performs very well even when the HTPC is unwatchable. Both are feed from the same antenna and the same coax.

My question concerns the frequencies assigned to the various muxes. For example:

Call Name Virtual Real Band Direction Distance Mux TVH RF HDHR

WFTS-HD abc ABC 28.1 17 UHF 188.57° 6.05 mi 491.028 488.31 491.000

According to some information I found, RF channel 17 has:

Lower Edge Video Carrier ASTC Pilot Audio Carrier Upper edge

488 489.25 488.31 493.75 494

Center frequency is 491.00, however the mux has a frequency of 491.028. In general all of the muxes are like this. Should the mux frequencies be changed to x.000?

I would like to map the Samba shares to a letter drive in Windows 10. I want to use this to backup my media on the HTPC. I tried to map it but Windows is coming back with an error, network location not found.

For sometime I had Chrome browses add-in working on my system. Over the weekend I tried to open the browser, but nothing happened, no error messages, and no browser window. I un-installed the plugin and re-installed it. Now when I try to start Chrome, I get a noticed that it is downloading Chrome, which flashes several times. Still no browser window. What do I need to do to debug this issue?

Found the problem I was having with no audio on playback. Under System -> Settings -> System -> Audio at the bottom there is several settings dealing with audio passthrough. I set the device for the passthrough to the same as the regular audio above and now playback works.

I recently installed Libreelec on a generic x86 platform. I am using HDHomeRun as my tuner and TVHeadEnd as the PVR. The night before last I recorded a show via a timer. The show recorded and plays, however when it plays, there is no sound. All other KODI parts produce sound, music, YouTube and even Chrome. What do I need to send you to help debug this issue?

According to the blog, the latest version of Libreelec allows the SSH password to be changed. Indeed in the Libreelec system setting there is an entry for changing/setting the SSH password. However when I try to set the password, I get an error message that the password does not meet the complexity requirements. Does anyone kno what these are? I can't find them documented anywhere.

I have an Intel PC/HTPC which has two drives, the first is a small SSD and the second is a rotating 1 TB drive. All of my media is on the second drive. I have tried installing Libreelec using the USB default method. The rotating harddrive is setup as a read-only location. It needs to be read/write. Also the default library locations are located on the limited space SSD. How can I change their location?
