Installation

The installation of this add-on is pretty straightforward and not different in comparison to installing any other Home Assistant add-on.

  1. Add this repository to have addons by GauthamVarmaK: Home Assistant with repository URL pre-filled
  2. Search for the "TVHeadend" add-on in the Supervisor add-on store and install it.
  3. Start the "TVHeadend" add-on.
  4. Check the logs of the "TVHeadend" to see if everything went well.
  5. Click the "OPEN WEB UI" button and start using it.
  6. Ready to go!

Configuration

Note: Remember to restart the add-on when the configuration is changed.

Example add-on configuration:

system_packages:
  - ffmpeg
init_commands:
  - echo 'Hello World'

Note: This is just an example, don't copy and paste it! Create your own!

Option: system_packages

Allows you to specify additional Alpine packages to be installed to the TVHeadend Addon (e.g., ffmpeg, g++, etc. ).

Note: Adding many packages will result in a longer start-up time for the add-on.

Option: init_commands

Customize your TVHeadend environment even more with the init_commands option. Add one or more shell commands to the list, and they will be executed every single time this add-on starts.

Additional Details

  • Config files are stored in /config/tvheadend/
  • Recording files are stored in /config/tvheadend/recordings/
  • /dev/dvb/, /dev/dri/ would be respectively mapped to /dev/dvb/, /dev/dri/ inside the addon.

Consider, backing /config/tvheadend/ up whenever migrating.
