It can also stream and record from HDHomeRun devices. Once installed use your web browser to navigate to `http://[IP-Address]:9981/` (You can use `127.0.0.1` for the IP Address if your browser and tvheadend are on the same computer.) Once installed use your web browser to navigate to `http://[IP-Address]:9981/` to set up the server. You can use `127.0.0.1` for the IP Address if your browser and tvheadend are on the same computer, or you can find the TVHeadend icon in your desktop menu. You can change the listening port and IP with `snapctl set tvheadend tvh-http-port=9981` and `snapctl set tvheadend tvh-ip=0.0.0.0`. You can also change the port for HTSP streaming connections with `snapctl set tvheadend tvh-htsp-port=9982` OSCam's web interface is listening on port `8888` by default. You can change this by editing the file returned by `tvheadend.oscam-config`. e.g. `sudo $EDITOR $(tvheadend.oscam-config)`. This is an ini-style file where the web interface IP Address and Port are configured as below: ``` [global] serverip = [webif] httpport = ``` See [the OSCam configuration reference]() for details on the accepted options for the configuration file. * Upstream Project: * snapcraft.yaml Build Definition: This Snap package is not maintained by the TVHeadend project.

They update automatically and roll back gracefully. Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions. ### Enable snapd If you’re running [Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus)](https://www.ubuntu.com/) or later, including [Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver)](https://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/features) and [Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseNotes), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go. For versions of Ubuntu between [14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes) and [15.10 (Wily Werewolf)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WilyWerewolf/ReleaseNotes), as well as Ubuntu flavours that don’t include *snap* by default, *snap* can be installed from the Ubuntu Software Centre by searching for *snapd*. Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line: ``` sudo apt update sudo apt install snapd ``` Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly. ### Install tvheadend To install tvheadend, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install tvheadend ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
