+ | ===== Watching live TV from an HDHomeRun ===== | ||
+ | While there is not a "normal" HDHomeRun view app for linux-based operating systems, Linux users can use third party media software such as VLC to view live TV from HDHomeRun devices. | ||
+ | |||
+ | See: **[[Third party applications]]** | ||

+ | ===== DVR storage software ===== | ||
+ | For installing the DVR storage software on a linux-based operating system, **see: [[DVR:Linux|Linux DVR]]**. | ||

+ | ===== HDHomeRun Config GTK instructions ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | - <wrapper>Extract both libhdhomerun and hdhomerun_config_gui to the same directory, e.g.: | ||
+ | <code>directory/libhdhomerun | ||
+ | directory/hdhomerun_config_gui</code></wrapper> | ||
+ | - <wrapper>From the hdhomerun_config_gui directory, run: | ||
+ | <code>./configure | ||
+ | make | ||
+ | sudo make install</code></wrapper> | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Troubleshooting ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | During the ./configure step, if you receive an error about gtk+-2.0 not being installed, you will need to install it using your distribution’s package management system. On most Debian-based distributions, including Ubuntu, use the following command: | ||
+ | |||
+ | <code>sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev</code> | ||
+ | |||
+ | If you receive an error stating hdhomerun_config_gui: error while loading shared libraries: libhdhomerun.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory when attempting to run hdhomerun_config_gui, run the following: | ||
+ | |||
+ | <code>sudo ldconfig</code> | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== HDHomeRun Firmware ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | For manual firmware download links, for use with the command line tool, **see: [[:Downloads#Firmware]]**. |
