TV Headend not loading on OSMC

Blardyslartfast · 30 August 2022 08:46

Hi Friends,

Hoping to get to the final stages of setting up TV Headend.

I have the web portal set up showing active channels and I have enabled the add on in OSMC but when I go to “live TV PVR” it just hangs

PVR manager is starting up

I have tried both the default IP and the IP address I use to log in to TV Head end on the web, rebooting in between.

In the logs https://paste.osmc.tv/wugonizuvu it shows these errors

2022-08-30 18:26:49.822 T:2973 ERROR : AddOnLog: pvr.hts: unable to connect to 127.0.0.1:9971

2022-08-30 18:25:13.261 T:2812 ERROR : AddOnLog: pvr.hts: unable to connect to 192.168.1.12:9971

Suggest to enable debug logging and then try again and upload logs maybe they show why it can not connect.

IT didn’t like the couple of crashes from power cycling the tuner. A tv show moved folders in the library. I had to clean the library database and re scan it in . The Movies folder is empty but I can access them through Video>files anyway one thing at a time

Debug logging on and reboot

Unfortunately no more details. Suggest to go to command line and check if the port is open.
netstat -tulnp | grep 9971

Details regarding how to access the command line interface can be found here on our Wiki: Accessing the command line - General - OSMC

osmc@localhost:~$ netstat -tulnp | grep 9971

rick4k · 30 August 2022 10:56

Have you entered the username and password in the client? (I think the defaults are osmc and osmc)

fzinken · 30 August 2022 10:57

try
sudo netstat -tulnp and see if you can find tvheadend as program and/or 9971 as port.

Also check systemctl status tvheadend

Blardyslartfast · 30 August 2022 10:59

Thanks @rick4k yes user and pass is set in the add on settings

Did you manually changed the port in the Client to 9971?

Blardyslartfast · 30 August 2022 11:08

no I didn’t
Pretty sure its 9971 in the add on settings

fzinken · 30 August 2022 11:09

Well this Wiki says default 9981/9982 which would match your tvheadend server.

https://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on:Tvheadend_HTSP_Client

Blardyslartfast · 30 August 2022 11:17

Hmm ok
-changed ports to 9981/9982

pvr would not load
-enable dug
-reboot

Are you sure you changed and saved in the Addon?

AddOnLog: pvr.hts: connecting to 127.0.0.1:9971

Blardyslartfast · 30 August 2022 11:29

I hit ok this time and the guide comes up in PVR / live TV but when I click on a running show and select switch to channel it says
TVheadend HTSP Client
No free adapter available

https://paste.osmc.tv/inabedareh

fzinken · 30 August 2022 11:38

Well we are making progress.

Have you ensured all other clients are shutdown (e.g. webbrowser) and no recording is happening?

Blardyslartfast · 30 August 2022 11:42

Yes - no recordings. I closed the TVH web and tried again after a reboot , same

fzinken · 30 August 2022 11:57

Ok then I don’t have an idea. Hope someone with better tvheadend knowledge can help.
Did you tried if watching works in the TVH Web?

Blardyslartfast · 30 August 2022 12:02

That doesn’t work it says “loading” for a long time then “an error occurred” but that was the case in the past even when I had it working on osmc

rick4k · 30 August 2022 12:03

Has the adapter disabled itself? I find that TVHeadend can do that after a reboot sometimes.
