Tvheadend Compile challenge

English Multimedia

Hi,
I need to compile from source (not install from repo) Tvheadend
After installing some stuff I had noted from other distribution compil, I get error via .configure command. Details :

./configure --disable-dvbscan

@Alberto1 is gcc-c++ installed?

You don’t need notes from another distribution, see how it’s built in openSUSE?
https://build.opensuse.org/projects/multimedia:apps/packages/tvheadend/files/tvheadend.spec?expand=1

You can also use the build service, with copypac, modify as required and build…

Hi malcolmlewis
Thanks for the link
I’ve installed gcc-c++ , it was missing.
But seems dvb-scan is missing too.
Did I compile it from source ?

./configure --disable-dvbscan --disable-hdhomerun_static --disable-ffmpeg_static

this seems outdated : Building on openSuSE - Tvheadend.org

copypac I never use it …

@Alberto1 It’s dvbv5-scan so likely libdvbv5-devel is required… likewise either disable dvbsca or likely need to compile locally…

So what is the need to compile from source?

5

libdvbv5-devel is ok for install thanks.
i disable tvhcsa in conf file, then /.configure is OK.
But I need csa … and it was existing in 2022 looking tvheadend site

6

@Alberto1 then you would need to build https://www.videolan.org/developers/libdvbcsa.html

7

Ok. patch paquet was missing for make command, compiling ATM.

8

after 5 minutes compiling, an error : ERROR: opus not found using pkg-config
I retry without ffmpeg

9

@Alberto1 Is libopus-devel installed?

10

wasen’t , nor python. Restart

11

Without this option --disable-ffmpeg_static , it wont compile, even with libopus-devel installed
At end it diden’t find libopus.a …

final config :
./configure --disable-dvbscan --disable-ffmpeg_static
and with tvhcsa disabled in config file it compiles.
Next I will try FTA.
Edit
Works with Kodi

12

@Alberto1 disable static check .configure --help to see what the option is, eg --enable-static=off or similar

13

Only option is --disable-ffmpeg_static , was what i hat compiled. Hope transcoding is working …

14

For livdvbcsa, there is no configure nor makefile inside package …

15

@Alberto1 what package? did you download the tarball or git clone? If cloned, you need to bootstrap it, get the tarball instead.

16

Ah i did git clone. I will try tarball next

17

Compile with tarball is ok.
So now only ffmpeg doubt for transcoding, testing later.
Other problem: I had install pulseaudio instead pipewire, there is a bug somewhere on this machine, I had open an other ticket here in multimedia but no relevant response. I’m waiting a little for answer, if not I will post a bug report.
Thanks for all
