New TVHeadend version: 4.0.8

[costan]

NEW VERSION: 4.0.8

Instruction almost the same as the other thread viewtopic.php?f=164&t=9352 (just replace -new with -4.0.8).

Pointer:

http://www.costan.org/moiplus/README-4.0.8.txt

Indeed I had no chance to test it, so use at YOUR OWN RISK.

Let me know if it works, anyway

EDIT: I tested it, it seems to work, probably better than 4.0.6. Still use at your risk.

hmm..

i'm doing something wrong... only the original and the tvheadend-new versions are working for me..

the others (4.0.6 and 4.0.8) just dont start.. they only seem to start when i launch them manually from shell..

when i start it from "/usr/bin/runtvheadend.sh start" it works just fine.. i cant get it to start from the webinterface when i revert it back to the original version it works just fine...

maybe some permission issues, as is run it as root from the shell? can someone help me?

[coldi]

got it to work...

got it to work...

What cause this situation ?

[coldi]

i figured out that it was simply a problem by the startup script and my safari browser, which does not show properly the configuration page.

i just changed the DVBAPI to yes.. and since my epg does not work fine, i'm trying around with the TZ settings atm..

now everything seems to run rly fine.. but i'm running into another problem.
after some time (about 2-3 months) the root partition gets out of space..

is there any way to show whats causing this? i think its the epg or something similar...

that is what is looks right now... maybe i could remove unused binaries such as vdr?

has nobody run into the same problems?

Please keep no more than two versions on the device, you can install them whenever you want, provided you move the symlinks correctly.

I have a small EPG (XMLTV for Italy), but I saw that a week worth of EPG is a 20-25Mb XML file, so it should not exceed the available space if you have 100M available. Of course if you have 1000 channels, instead of 100, it could exceed the space available. Anyway the epg DB is a lot smaller, so I think it depends on the way it gets populated.

Anyway, try to perform a

du -sk *
time to time on the root directory, just to see where's growing.

i had always just installed 1 or max. 2 versions of tvheadend..
even then, i ran out of space after some weeks..
i have 4 satellite positions, and in my list there are about 130 channels...

is there xmltv available for austria/germany?
at the moment i am using EIT grabber...

greets

Use du -sk to find where's growing, as per my previous post.

For XMLTV, it seems to be available as per http://wiki.xmltv.org/index.php/XmltvWorldDomination

The quick and dirty way I found to use it on the MOI+ is to use a simple shell script to grab the XML already cooked somewhere else (a fully fledged Linux box or Linux VM) where a real XMLTV perl implementation is available.

If you want I can provide you the MOI+ script, where to host the real XMLTV Perl implementation is up to you.

Hello,
Many thanks for your work
i've installed your version and it's woriking fine

but i've a but with my grabber in this version
https://tvheadend.org/issues/3283
so have you plan to make 4.1 binary ?

it's not very important but if you've a test version ...

Many thanks in all cases

I fully understand tour concern.

I'll try to build a good 4.1 version just for these kind of things, but the 4.1 is unstable (per se, it's not a MOI issue).

I think I need to release the build env so everyone could build the preferred binary release.

Allow me couple of days, I'll post the link here. You'll be the beta tester



By the way, I believe Steven posted the TBS official 4.1 version last month.. Have a check here:
