########################################################################################## PIDVR-6: Install and Configure TVHeadEnd ########################################################################################## Issue Type: Task ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Issue Information ==================== Priority: Major Status: Closed Resolution: Done (2014-11-08 14:59:43) Project: PiDVR (PIDVR) Reported By: btasker Assigned To: btasker Time Estimate: 0 minutes Time Logged: 0 minutes ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Issue Description ================== Install TVHeadEnd and configure it to work with the S960. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Issue Relations ================ - is blocked by PIDVR-7: Configure FreeSat Hardware ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subtasks ========== - PIDVR-8: Configure recordings directory ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Activity ========== ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2014-11-05 14:02:32 btasker ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Installation can be done, but config is somewhat blocked by needing to wait for the FreeSat adapter to arrive. It should have arrived today, unfortunately InterLink Express decided (presumably as it was raining) that it was easier to push a card through the letter box than to knock on the door. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2014-11-06 17:03:57 btasker ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Can't do much until PIDVR-7 is complete, but as it's taking a while to compile -- BEGIN SNIPPET -- root@testpi:/home/pi# echo "deb http://apt.tvheadend.org/stable wheezy main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list root@testpi:/home/pi# curl http://apt.tvheadend.org/repo.gpg.key | apt-key add - root@testpi:/home/pi# apt-get update root@testpi:/home/pi# apt-get install tvheadend -- END SNIPPET -- For the time being, set username 'admin' and password 'password' (I know......) Now available at http://testpi:9981/extjs.html, though obviously can't see/configure the DVB adapter until PIDVR-7 is done. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2014-11-06 17:24:33 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- btasker changed status from 'Open' to 'In Progress' ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2014-11-06 23:08:20 btasker ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PIDVR-7 is done, so just need to configure the adapter and channels in TVHeadend now On http://testpi.home://9981 *Set up Channels* - Configuration -> DVB Inputs -> Montage DS3103/TS2022 -> Enable - Save - Wait a while whilst the Multiplexes are scanned are scanned - Map DVB Services to Channels *Set up EPG* - Configuration -> Channel/EPG -> EPG Grabber - Update Channel Name - Update Channel Number - Update Channel icon - Enable the Internal Grabber (Set XMLTV: UK) - Enable the Over-the-air grabbers for UK but disable the others - Save Configuration *General Config* - Configuration -> General - Update Time - Enable NTP Driver Need to give it a bit of time to start grabbing the EPG's now. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2014-11-06 23:49:10 btasker ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the spirit of testing, have configured the XBMC box to talk to TVHeadend just in time to do a stream quality test by watching the Family Guy marathon on BBC Three.... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2014-11-07 00:17:03 btasker ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Video quality is fine on an SD stream, no stalling/stuttering. Looking at ifconfig, data rates are about 1GB for an hour of SD. Will need to map some HD services to channels in TVHeadend before I can test a HD feed ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2014-11-07 18:06:29 btasker ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scheduled recording completed ok overnight. Just need the external storage to arrive now SD and HD channels stream fine to an Android phone using - TVHClient (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.tvheadend.tvhclient&hl=en_GB) - MX Player (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mxtech.videoplayer.ad&hl=en_GB) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2014-11-08 14:59:43 btasker ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- External storage arrived and has been set up (see PIDVR-8). TVHeadend is now fully configured, and all relevant functionality has been tested. Marking this issue as done. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2014-11-08 14:59:43 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- btasker changed status from 'In Progress' to 'Resolved' ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2014-11-08 14:59:43 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- btasker added 'Done' to resolution ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2014-11-08 14:59:46 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- btasker changed status from 'Resolved' to 'Closed'
