|
<dt>Default configuration
|
|
<dd>
|
|
All configuration in Tvheadend is maintained via its embedded web
|
|
server running on port 9981. Just point your browser to:
|
|
<p>
|
|
http://hostname:9981/
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
By default <b>everyone (also from remote hosts)is allowed full
|
|
access to all features / settings</b> in the web user interface. If
|
|
this is the first time you setup Tvheadend you are most encouraged to
|
|
enter the web user interface, selected the 'Configuration' + 'Access Control'
|
|
tab and make reasonable changes. Further help / documentation can be obtained
|
|
inside the web interface.
|
|
|
|
<dt>Settings storage
|
|
<dd>
|
|
Settings are loaded/stored in $HOME/.hts/tvheadend.
|
|
|
|
<dt>Logging
|
|
<dd>
|
|
All activity inside Tvheadend is logged to syslog using log facility.
|
|
Also, if logged in to the web interface you will receive the same log in the bottom
|
|
tab (System log).
|
|
|
|
|
|
<dt>Permission to access video adapters
|
|
<dd>
|
|
In order for Tvheadend to control video adapters on the system it
|
|
must be granted access to those devices. Most systems have a 'video'
|
|
group with write access to the video adapter devices. When Tvheadend
|
|
is started as a daemon (if Tvheadend is installed from a distribution package
|
|
this is most likely the way it is) it will change its primary group
|
|
to 'video' in order to access these groups. If your system is configured
|
|
in a different way you can either change the group membership of the
|
|
video adapters (/dev/dvb, etc) or reconfigure the Tvheadend start up
|
|
parameters.
|
|
<p>
|
|
If Tvheadend is started without the '-f' argument it will not demonize
|
|
nor change its primary UID/GID. Rather it will run with the permissions
|
|
granted to the user executing the binary. If that's the case you must make
|
|
sure the current user is granted with access to the video devices.
|
|
|
|
|
|
<dt>Open ports
|
|
<dd>
|
|
Tvheadend listens to the following TCP ports by default:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>9981 - HTTP server (web interface)
|
|
<li>9982 - HTSP server (Streaming protocol)
|
|
</ul>
|
|
There is currently no way of disabling these TCP servers, nor bind the services to
|
|
specific interfaces or other ports.
|
|
To limit access, please read the section about 'Access Control'
|
|
in the configuration chapter.
