Oscam Icam TVHeadend

=[M.I.T.M]= · Oct 25th 2022

On Debian 11.5 / Ubuntu 20.04.5 you should be able to compile TVH and build a *.deb package by following below exemplary steps.

Of course, libdvbcsa should be patched already and libdvbcsa-dev shall be uninstalled.

If not already uninstalled, do it at first:

Code

sudo apt-get purge libdvbcsa-dev -y
sudo apt autoremove -y

Next, git clone TVH, patch and compile:

Code

mkdir /var/tmp/tvheadend
git clone https://github.com/tvheadend/tvheadend.git /var/tmp/tvheadend
cd /var/tmp/tvheadend
git config apply.whitespace nowarn
git apply /var/tmp/patches/tvheadend/tvheadend43.patch
./configure --disable-ffmpeg_static --disable-libfdkaac_static --disable-libtheora_static --disable-libopus_static --disable-libvorbis_static --disable-libvpx_static --disable-libx264_static --disable-libx265_static --disable-libfdkaac --enable-libopus --enable-libvorbis --enable-libvpx --enable-libx264 --enable-libx265 --disable-avahi --disable-dbus_1 --disable-bintray_cache --disable-execinfo --disable-hdhomerun_static --disable-hdhomerun_client --enable-libav --enable-pngquant --enable-trace --enable-vaapi --infodir=/usr/share/info --localstatedir=/var --mandir=/usr/share/man --prefix=/usr --cc=cc --arch=x86_x64 --platform=linux --python=python3 --sysconfdir=/config
make -j$(nproc)

then, if successful, try if compiled TVH binary runs with

Code

./build.linux/tvheadend --noacl

next, if TVH runs and can be accessed via its web UI, build the package by manipulating the related autobuild.sh script like this:

Code

cd /var/tmp/tvheadend/Autobuild
nano debian.sh
add argument '-d' to dpkg-buildpackage to remove libdvbcsa-dev dependancy: dpkg-buildpackage -d -b -us -uc
save debian.sh
AUTOBUILD_CONFIGURE_EXTRA="--disable-ffmpeg_static --disable-libfdkaac_static --disable-libtheora_static --disable-libopus_static --disable-libvorbis_static --disable-libvpx_static --disable-libx264_static --disable-libx265_static --disable-libfdkaac --enable-libopus --enable-libvorbis --enable-libvpx --enable-libx264 --enable-libx265 --disable-avahi --disable-dbus_1 --disable-bintray_cache --disable-execinfo --disable-hdhomerun_static --disable-hdhomerun_client --enable-libav --enable-pngquant --enable-trace --enable-vaapi --infodir=/usr/share/info --localstatedir=/var --mandir=/usr/share/man --prefix=/usr --cc=cc --arch=x86_x64 --platform=linux --python=python3 --sysconfdir=/config" ./Autobuild.sh -j$(nproc)

finally, install built TVH package. For example:

Code

cd /var/tmp
dpkg -i tvheadend_4.3-2038~g5f9404117-dirty_amd64.deb

that's it! Good luck

My thanks go out to =[M.I.T.M]=

I made it It was a daily project, but it's running now.

First an update to Debian Bullseye from Buster. Then noticed that PHP was updated from 7.3 to 7.4, so other systems were no longer running ( Nextcloud ).

That was then repaired and it could finally start.

Code

sudo mkdir /var/tmp/tvheadend
sudo mkdir /var/tmp/libdvbcsa

I downloaded the 2 patches HERE and pushed them into the tmp directory. Adjusted rights.

Code

cd /var/tmp/libdvcsa

Git wanted to be installed:

Code

sudo apt-get install git-all

Then like =[M.I.T.M]= starting with this:

Code

sudo git clone https://github.com/glenvt18/libdvbcsa
cd libdvbcsa
sudo git config apply.whitespace nowarn
sudo git apply libdvbcsa.patch
./bootstrap
./configure
sudo make
sudo apt-get purge libdvbcsa-dev
sudo make install

Error

Make and Automake were not installed. So:

Code

sudo apt-get install make automake

Again:

Code

./bootstrap

That worked!

Continue with:

Code

sudo apt autoremove -y
sudo apt-get purge libdvbcsa1*

removed all the legacy stuff from Debian Buster and also removed the old TVHeadend (you should backup the .hts directories beforehand if you want to).

Then continue with the instructions of =[M.I.T.M]=

Code

sudo git clone https://github.com/tvheadend/tvheadend.git /var/tmp/tvheadend
cd /var/tmp/tvheadend
sudo git config apply.whitespace nowarn
sudo git apply /var/tmp/tvheadend/tvheadend43.patch
sudo./configure --disable-ffmpeg_static --disable-libfdkaac_static --disable-libtheora_static --disable-libopus_static --disable-libvorbis_static --disable-libvpx_static --disable-libx264_static --disable-libx265_static --disable-libfdkaac - -enable-libopus --enable-libvorbis --enable-libvpx --enable-libx264 --enable-libx265 --disable-avahi --disable-dbus_1 --disable-bintray_cache --disable-execinfo --disable-hdhomerun_static - -disable-hdhomerun_client --disable-libav --enable-pngquant --enable-trace --enable-vaapi --infodir=/usr/share/info --localstatedir=/var --mandir=/usr/share/man --prefix=/usr --cc=cc --arch=x86_x64 --platform=linux --python=python3 --sysconfdir=/config
sudo make -j$(nproc)

A lot of things come up here. On the one hand I had to install libtools and others because of missing dependencies.

Also, I chose the

Code

-disable-libav option instead of -enable-libav.

Otherwise there was another error. Then the test run with

Code

./build.linux/tvheadend –noacl

It worked!

Then the Autobuild.sh adjusted according to the specifications of =[M.I.T.M]=

Code

cd /var/tmp/tvheadend/Autobuild
sudo nano debian.sh
add argument '-d' to dpkg-buildpackage to remove libdvbcsa-dev dependancy: dpkg-buildpackage -d -b -us -uc
save debian.sh
sudo AUTOBUILD_CONFIGURE_EXTRA="--disable-ffmpeg_static --disable-libfdkaac_static --disable-libtheora_static --disable-libopus_static --disable-libvorbis_static --disable-libvpx_static --disable-libx264_static --disable-libx265_static --disable-libfdkaac - -enable-libopus --enable-libvorbis --enable-libvpx --enable-libx264 --enable-libx265 --disable-avahi --disable-dbus_1 --disable-bintray_cache --disable-execinfo --disable-hdhomerun_static - -disable-hdhomerun_client --disable-libav --enable-pngquant --enable-trace --enable-vaapi --infodir=/usr/share/info --localstatedir=/var --mandir=/usr/share/man --prefix=/usr --cc=cc --arch=x86_x64 --platform=linux --python=python3 --sysconfdir=/config" ./Autobuild.sh -j$(nproc)

Again, disable libav.

Nevertheless, no autobuild came about. Until I figured out what was missing. So I installed

Code

sudo apt-get install debhelper liburiparser-dev libpcre2-dev libpcre3-dev

That's it, the package is created and can be installed via:

Code

cd /var/tmp
sudo dpkg -i tvheadend………

Finally, I can say that the SAT>IP server runs on TVHeadend and works just as well as the VLC stream.

Oh, and I didn't touch the existing OSCAM!

PS: I hope I have thought of everything.

PPS: Since I didn't give myself superuser rights beforehand, everything only worked with sudo.

Hi,

My guide was based on the assumption that required packages are already installed on a system.

If not the case, recommend to do the following as very first step.

Code

apt update && apt upgrade -y
sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
reboot
sudo apt install build-essential git ccache libpcre3-dev pkg-config libssl-dev bzip2 wget unzip libavahi-client-dev zlib1g-dev libavcodec-dev libavutil-dev libavformat-dev libswscale-dev libavresample-dev gettext cmake libiconv-hook-dev liburiparser-dev debhelper libcurl4-gnutls-dev python2-minimal libdvbcsa-dev python3-requests libx264-dev libx265-dev libvpx-dev libopus-dev dvb-apps libva-dev libva-drm2 libva-x11-2 libsystemd-dev ffmpeg libavcodec-extra libavcodec-extra58 libavdevice-dev libavfilter-dev libavfilter-extra libpcre2-dev libpcre2-16-0 libpcre2-32-0 librecode0 recode libhdhomerun-dev

That will install everything required as packages.

if anyone need patched TVH 4.3 for CE 19.5: https://github.com/Gee1111/Cor….tvheadend43-19.5.102.rar

oastra · Oct 30th 2022

Hello Gee

Is it possible to share a patched Version for CE 20 ?

Gee1111 · Oct 30th 2022

i can do this yes.. but it takes a few hours to compile even with 18 Cores..

can u tell me what are the benefits of v20 ?

But i think most Kodi 19 Addons will run under Kodi 20, cause its still python 3

Edit: it was hard to get this but here it is Kodi 20 patched tvheadend43 service: -use other one-

zeyret · Oct 31st 2022

No, some add -ons do not work in Kodi Nexus. TVH is one of them.include Oscam

Oscam problem without emu works on both..The same Oscam, including EMU, does not work in both.

Kodi Nexus works with Oscam Arm_ssl3. Kodi Matrix Works Oscam _ARM_SSL1

oastra · Oct 31st 2022

Sorry, i dont know how hard work it is

I test it in CE20/Kodi20 but Icam don't work

Maybe the patch don't work in CE20

Many thanks

Gee1111 · Oct 31st 2022

icam should work in Nexus also.. TVH43 is the same and libdvbcsa ist from 2018. No reason why it shouldn't work

zeyret · Oct 31st 2022

ICAM works with TVH, but the Sky channels are black screen.

The Matrix Version 19.5.102 work without problems in CE19 ,but not in CE20

I've put together a build script, which should include everything from the posts.

Adjust the work dir accordingly, and also if you do not wish to install it to /usr/local/bin, then the =prefix as well.

Now here's my question:

I've succesfully built the patched tvheadend, but it's still dark on all channels. Is there anything else to do ? I read about this icam, I saw that some people use stream server, is it something like this necessary ?

I'm getting invalid start code errors in the tvheadend log, just like before, and of course the dvbapi shows that the key was received ok.

Chris230291 · Oct 31st 2022

Invalid start codes have something to do with odd/even errors. Not really sure.

Once the 2 patches are applied (tvh and libdvb) the vanilla OSCAM will open icam channels.

No need for stream relay or any of that stuff. It will work just like before they added icam.

Are you using dvbapi?

Thanks.How can I adapt or install this to CE. I use CoreElec Kodi Nexus.

trex_daemon · Oct 31st 2022

For corelec you have a complete build system:

coreelec:build_ce [CoreELEC Wiki]

You will have to find where are the config files for tvheadend and ajust them according to what is in the configure scripts here.

This script is for debian based standalone systems.

Yes, and oscam is up to date, as I build it as well from sources. I saw another post where it says to filter out teletext streams. Did that as well, but no change.

Invalid start code is bad codes from oscam. I don't understand it fully but its something to do with the key being odd when it should be even and visa versa.

trex_daemon · Oct 31st 2022

Yeah, I've read all the forums about it, but unfortunately I cannot tell where the problem lies :(

Anyway, thanks for your help :)
