This is an ebuild proposal for tvheadend (http://www.lonelycoder.com/hts/). It is an live ebuild since tvheadend-2.5 does not support s2api. I will create a regular ebuild once tvheadend-2.6 is released. Reproducible: Always

Created attachment 213315 [details] tvheadend-2.7-r1 Tvheadend should use the shared ffmpeg library. Is there any chance to get this ebuild into the portage tree or at least into an overlay?
This ebuild works great for me.
works for me too :-)

tvheadend version bumps to 2.10
just rename tvheadend-2.9.ebuild to tvheadend-2.10.ebuild it works for me. with version 2.10 live tv works again with my pvr250 tv tuner and xbmc 9.11
Created attachment 220447 [details] tvheadend ebuild This is my take on an ebuild for Tvheadend. It's largely based on Niels work so most of the credit goes to him. I've essentially just cleaned up the ebuild and streamlined a couple things. Niels ebuild still works great so you can continue to use it if you wish. Changes include: - The anonaccess file is no longer required. It's auto generated by the init script with -C option. - Added a conf.d file to allow users to specify an alternate Tvheadend user, group and config path. - The init script now uses the pid to stop the tvheadend process. - Various cosmetic changes including a tweaked ebuild description. Note: If you intend to use my ebuild and have Niels ebuild already installed, it's best to start from a clean slate. Since I've made some changes to the Tvheadend user/group, you should uninstall Tvheadend and delete everything in and including /etc/tvheadend. Remove any existing Tvheadend user, group and init script as well.

Created attachment 220453 [details] tvheadend shared ffmpeg library patch This is identical to Niels patch. I have just renamed it since my ebuild uses the "standard" patch naming scheme.
I have noticed a strange behavior when Tvheadend is started during boot. Tvheadend starts but it's unable to access my TV card. /var/log/messages tvheadend[2325]: dvb: Unable to open /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0 -- Permission denied tvheadend[2325]: v4l: Unable to open /dev/video0 -- Permission denied tvheadend[2325]: CSA: Using SSE2 128bit parallel descrambling tvheadend[2325]: START: HTS Tvheadend version 2.10 started, running as PID:2325 UID:103 GID:1009, settings located in '/etc/tvheadend' I'm using the ebuild and init script I posted, so Tvheadend is being run as the "tvheadend" user and group. The "tvheadend" user is in the "video" group so Tvheadend should have the necessary permissions. Interestingly when I restart the init script once the system has finished booting, Tvheadend has no problem accessing my TV card and works as expected. I was able to get it work during boot when started as the "video" group. I think this points to a problem with the way Tvheadend drops it's privileges. Can anyone else confirm this issue? If so I will post a an updated ebuild and conf.d file.
Same problem here; changing the group back to "video" solves it. The documentation says: In order for Tvheadend to control video adapters on the system it must be granted access to those devices. Most systems have a 'video' group with write access to the video adapter devices. When Tvheadend is started as a daemon (if Tvheadend is installed from a distribution package this is most likely the way it is) it will change its primary group to 'video' in order to access these groups. If your system is configured in a different way you can either change the group membership of the video adapters (/dev/dvb, etc) or reconfigure the Tvheadend start up parameters. It works on amd64, too; if you update the ebuild, you can add ~amd64...
(In reply to comment #24) I did read that part of the docs but as I mentioned it works fine after restarting the init script once the system has booted. It evens works when I start Tvheadend as a daemon manually in a terminal with my user/group. This issue only happens during boot. I will update the ebuild shortly and add ~amd64. I must have inadvertently removed it. Thanks for the feedback.
Created attachment 220949 [details] tvheadend ebuild This ebuild no longer creates the "tvheadend" group. Instead it sets the initial group to "video". This along with the updated conf.d file gives Tvheadend the necessary permissions during boot. If you have used my previous ebuild you should run the following to get the install to a correct state. # /etc/init.d/tvheadend stop # gpasswd -d tvheadend video # usermod -g video tvheadend # groupdel tvheadend # chown -R tvheadend:video /etc/tvheadend

Tvheadend 2.11 has been released. It is enough to rename the ebuild.
Created attachment 236313 [details] tvheadend-2.11 ebuild Changes include: - Moved epatch into src_prepare(). - added dodoc for changelog and readme. - added sed in src_prepare() to set the version. To elaborate on the last change, previously the makefile would call support/version.sh. This script uses subversion or git to determine the version/revision during build. If for example git wasn't installed, Portage would display a bunch of QA messages regarding the 'git' command missing. If git was installed then a bunch of 'fatal: Not a git repository: .git' messages would result in the build output. As far as I can tell calling support/version.sh is really only needed when building from svn or git which this ebuild does not do. So by setting the version manually it avoids the subversion and git dependencies.
I just received some good news from the tvheadend dev regarding the ffmpeg dependency. After making a request to allow the use of the system ffmpeg, he went one better and removed the ffmpeg dep entirely. He had plans to remove the ffmpeg dep at some point in the future but I didn't expect it to happen so quickly. This means that for 2.12 we no longer need ffmpeg and therefore we also don't need the patch to use the system ffmpeg.
Created attachment 236363 [details] tvheadend svn ebuild This ebuild hasn't been keyworded since it's an svn ebuild, so you will need to add the following to package.keywords. Adjust the category name to match the name you have in your local overlay. media-tv/tvheadend **

Created attachment 284323 [details] tvheadend-9999.ebuild Thanks for the ebuilds, they are very helpful. Here is the modified version I use. I've just added the man page and merged the 2 ebuilds.
Any update on this?
i am running with tvheadend-9999.ebuild now with no apparent issues, thanks for the work guys.

I've added this to my personal overlay available here: http://anon-git.one-gear.com/?p=chaos.git;a=summary I've added '--datadir=/usr/share/tvheadend' to configure to keep /usr/share from being polluted directly. Thanks to those who already did all the work!

We can get this committed to the portage tree, if someone is willing to step up and be responsible for this package as proxy maintainer. See http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/proxy-maintainers/index.xml
I use tvheadend as my primary DVB-T backend. I'll adopt this as my first package baby. What do I have to do?
(In reply to comment #48) > I use tvheadend as my primary DVB-T backend. I'll adopt this as my first > package baby. What do I have to do? I will be your committer. The page I linked to mentions: "Bugs about the package will be directed toward you (and also your Commiter). However as Proxy-Maintainer you are responsible for responding to the bugs with patches/comments/etc. Be prepared to do this." Also let me know whenever there is something to commit, like a new version. You can open new bugs for that, so we can keep track of things. Now, for some reason the ebuild attachment for the 2.12 release was obsoleted, so we need a working ebuild for either the latest release or a snapshot (which are preferred over live ebuilds in the portage tree).

I believe I obsoleted my 2.12 ebuild because Marc Perrudin in comment 40 merged the 2.12 and 9999 ebuilds into one. I will post the current 2.12 ebuild I have in my local overlay.

Now that I'm back from holiday, I have committed this: +*tvheadend-2.12 (25 Aug 2012) + + 25 Aug 2012; Ben de Groot <yngwin@gentoo.org> +files/tvheadend.confd, + +files/tvheadend.initd, +metadata.xml, +tvheadend-2.12.ebuild: + Initial commit. Ebuild developed by users in bug #288022. Will be proxy- + maintained by Leho Kraav. Please let me know if there are any changes to be committed (especially a better description for the xmltv useflag). If you use github, you can send me pull requests at https://github.com/yngwin/proxy-maint
I don't know how I missed this but version 3.0[1] has been out for almost 3 weeks. This makes the 2.12 ebuild obsolete before it was even committed to the tree. I'm not sure if Leo Kraav is working on an ebuild but I will create an ebuild for 3.0 and file a version bump in a new bug. [1] https://www.lonelycoder.com/redmine/projects/tvheadend/news
Haven't managed to do anything yet so go for it. I have my hands full going from x86 to amd64. It's going to take a bit to settle this.
