The main purpose of LibreELEC is to be a media center client, not a server.

Use tvheadend in a docker image instead of LibreELEC in a VirtualBox. For hosting a tvheadend server a complete graphical OS is totally over sized.

yes, but my host system is macos not linux. (sorry i have forgotten to note that)
docker for mac is available but (as i know) docker is using libs and drivers from the host system, or not?
tvheadend alone has no dvb driver onboard and macos has no dvb driver.
this was the reason to use debian/ubuntu in a virtual enviroment.

my debian/ubuntu minimal system has no x-gui or unnecessary apps
so the image size is only 4-6 gb, similar with libreelec.

LibreELEC-Virtual.x86_64-7.95.2.tar

thank you for the link, but can you declare me something?

your link starts the download immediately and moved me to a special thread.
i have seen this thread before (i asked here) but i haven't found this link in this thread?
in which section (which post) the link was originally?
thank you

regards
yummiweb

addendum:
i have updated the "normal" libreelec installation by copying the virtual .tar file in the updates folder.
the start is now some more "complete" but the x-org server isnt start.
any ideas?

Hi,

i have used the search function in this forum and on the libreelec mainpage,
but i cant find any link to a libreelec virtual image e.g. like "LibreELEC-Virtual.x86_64-7.0.2.img.gz"

Where can i get such a image?

My intention is to use libreelec in a virtualbox enviroment as a host for a tvheadend server.
I hope libreelec with tvheadend is efficient enough to stream dvb-s2 (2 tuner) to 2 - 3 tvheadend clients.

What do you mean?

At the moment i am using a virtual ubuntu-minimal (16.04) installation with tvheadend server
but this setting needs (strangely) a lot of cpu time when streaming dvb-s2 from 2 adapters to 2 tvheadend clients.
(no reencoding, just pass)

At the same enviroment (some times before) i have used a dvb-t dual tuner
and the cpu consumtion for this setting was very low.
I assigned 25% cpu (1 core) only for this VM an this was more as enough
for recording 4-8 dvb-t streams and playing 2-3 live dvb-t streams at the same time.

Now i am switched from dvb-t to dvb-s2 and the dvb-s2 stream was complete unusable until i assigned 100% CPU to the VM.
Although theadend is using between 15% and 25% CPU time (top) the stream is sometimes broken or has artifacts.
Strange…
