TVHeadend 4.3 built from source = Segmentation fault

Kodi Tvheadend
#1

I am trying to build TVHeadend 4.3 for CoreELEC from source (Ubuntu 20.04):

git clone https://github.com/CoreELEC/CoreELEC.git -b coreelec-19
cd CoreELEC
./scripts/create_addon tvheadend43

and the result is:

2022-11-27 18:49:12.847 [   INFO] main: Log started
...
2022-11-27 18:49:12.852 [   INFO] config: loaded
2022-11-27 18:49:12.853 [   INFO] config: scanfile (re)initialization with path <none>
Segmentation fault

I thought that maybe it depends on something DVB-related from system image, so I removed build dir and started from scratch:

rm -rf build.*
make image
./scripts/create_addon tvheadend43

Unfortunately, result is the same. What am I missing?

I tried it and it runs - addon installed without any user configuration.

Try to run it with gdb to see where it crashes?

#3

Thank you for the hint! Right now it’s built without debug symbols, so it only gives:

[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]
Using host libthread_db library "/usr/lib/libthread_db.so.1".

Program received signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction.
0xf7591288 in ?? () from /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.1.1
(gdb)

I’ve set up a clean VM and building now from the very scratch, if the segfault persists, I’ll try to build with debug symbols included.

BTW addon from CE repo runs fine.

#4

Now I build one fresh image + fresh addon and it works too.

Maybe the issue is some wrong include or something like that from host because crash happen in libcrypto?

#5

Built on a freshly-setup VM and the segfault is gone… But I’ll keep looking for a reason as if fails on my native host and a WSL setup.

Thank you @vpeter for your support!

Hello guys,
With the TVHeadend 42, 8K broadcasts in Türksat are watched, but I get a black screen with TVHeadend 43.
Is there any solution to this?

Have you ever tried docker? I now use it for tvheadend. It has more up to date builds

#8

I haven’t tried docker

#9

I’m trying to build tvheadend43 for the latest CoreELEC 20 version with the latest changes. I need those because they should fix my disappeared tuners lately.

Could I just edit the package.mk and update the PKG Version with the latest commits from Commits · tvheadend/tvheadend · GitHub ?
thanks

You need to adjust PKG_VERSION and PKG_SHA256, which can also be empty.
