TVHeadend

Help and Support Vero 4K / Vero 4K +
1

Hi…I tried to install TVHE on my Vero 4k+ but in the osmc App Store my remote doesn’t seem to work.
I tried to install via terminal, the ‘aarch64-tvheadend-app-osmc’ is the one I think I should install, but I get the following:

osmc@vero:~$ sudo apt install aarch64-tvheadend-app-osmc

Is this the right version for Vero4k+?
Any ideas?

It seems the armv7 version is what you need:

osmc@vero4tv:~$ dpkg -l | grep tvh
rc  aarch64-tvheadend-app-osmc:arm64     4.2.6-1                        arm64        TVHeadend for OSMC
ii  armv7-tvheadend-app-osmc             4.2.6-1                        armhf        TVHeadend for OSMC

I’ve no idea why I have the aarch64 version here but it’s the armv7 that’s installed and working.

I’ll give it a whirl, thanks Graham.

@grahamh That one installs fine so I’ll mark this as solved, thanks.
Out of interest does the aarch64 one even work? Does it offer any performance improvements?

I think we must have tried it once and probably got tangled up in 32-bit drivers. there are no performance issues - TVH runs on Pi0 I believe.

That’s right. In the end we got it to work as expected :slight_smile:
