Hi there, worked out how to add the firmware (~/.config/firmware) for my DVB-T usb dongle, just need to figure out how to get TVHeadEnd onto the Raspberry Pi 3 I have running RasPlex. Apart from also trying to get live TV through RasPlex, my main aim is to get TVHeadEnd to run as a server for radio streaming on my network. Can anyone help? Can’t find anywhere to change the skin to try and install the addon.
Rasplex (and all Plex clients) doesn’t use add ons in the same way as Kodi, you have to install a ‘Channel’, search the Channels section, there is a TVHeadEnd channel available.
Regards
Had a look there, but there wasn’t a TVHeadEnd channel.
Okay, but how do I install that, and will it install tvheadend on the raspberry pi 3 I have rasplex running on?
Anyone else have any ideas on this?
Installing channels is in the manual
Okay, it’s looking like it’s not possible to install TVHeadEnd (server) on my RaspberryPi 3 running RasPlex. Added TVHeadEnd-ng plugin to my Plex Server, and now using my spare Raspberry Pi 1 Model B with my SDTV USB TV adapter to run as a TVHeadEnd server. Thanks for the help anyway.
Hi, how did you manage to get the tvheadend channel working on rasplex ? it gives me an unable to play content message everytime I try to play a channel
Quite simply, I didn’t. I installed the plugin on the server and so far it hasn’t worked, although I put that down to the Raspberry Pi B (v1) I have it running on. I will try it out on the web client to ensure that’s the case. Unfortunately I satisfied my own requirements, which was to run tvheadend as a streaming radio server for my main desktop, for when 'm working from home, so I won’t be persuing it with too much gusto, although I still wish I could get the RasPlex Raspberry Pi 3 running tvheadend as it must have the spare overhead the original Raspberry Pi doesn’t have.
Him thanks for your answer. It seems no one is able to get the TVHeadEnd-ng plugin working on a rasplex client unfortunately (regardless of where the tvheadend server is)
Hi all,
I had a look at the logs, and actually it was quite easy to get TvHeadEnd ng (client channel) to work on rasplex. The problem was I had set a hostname as the ’ Hostname or ipaddress field’ . This lead to the rasplex client always querying 127.0.0.1 for the tvheadend server, which obviously is wrong as the server is not installed on the rasplex machine (I think this is because the dns queries are done on the server, rather than on the client).
Changing the ip to my local network TVheadend server ip in the tvheadend ng settings page got everything working, on rasplex, web interface, and android phone etc
