OSMC RC Unable to install TVHEADEND

Looking at the package scripts, it currently checks for the existence of:

/home/osmc/.hts/tvheadend/accesscontrol/1

And only if this doesn’t exist, does it create one from a template. It will however be doing this test on both new installs and upgrades of the package - that can be changed to only new installs if necessary. (It takes a bit of hacking to achieve this in a postinst script)

See below:

github.com

osmc/osmc/blob/master/package/tvheadend-app-osmc/files/DEBIAN/postinst

#!/bin/bash

if [ "$1" = "configure" ]; then

	systemctl daemon-reload
	# going to read existing config files even if installing
	# unless version is 4.2 when we can trust tvh to do it
	EXISTINGVER=
	if [ -f /home/osmc/.hts/tvheadend/config ]; then
		EXISTINGVER=$(egrep "full_?version" /home/osmc/.hts/tvheadend/config | sed 's/.*: \+\"\(.*\)\".*/\1/' 2> /dev/null)
	fi
	
	if $(dpkg --compare-versions "$2" lt "4.2.0") || [[ "$EXISTINGVER" < "4.2.0" ]] \
		|| [ -e "/var/run/${DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_PACKAGE}_install" ]; then
		# check for existing user called osmc
		if OSMCUSERFILES=$(ls -t /home/osmc/.hts/tvheadend/accesscontrol/* 2> /dev/null); then
			OSMCUSERFILES=($(grep -l "\"username\": \"osmc\"" $OSMCUSERFILES  2> /dev/null))
			OSMCUSERFILE=${OSMCUSERFILES[0]}
		fi
		if OSMCPASSFILES=$(ls -t /home/osmc/.hts/tvheadend/passwd/*  2> /dev/null); then

I don’t have any tvheadend compatible hardware unfortunately, so I can’t test tvheadend myself.
