(solved) Arch/Arm64 DVB/ATSC EPG not available

[donutschool]

SOLVED: my bad - it is mentioned at the bottom of the install guide wiki - my HDHomeRun needed hdhomerun_config - I think its in a 'yay' package called 'libhdhomerun' but I just built it manually and dumped the binary and library in the NEXTPVR directory. 

I've had 6.0.0.220904 running happily on my Raspberry Pi 4 under the standard Rasberry Pi OS Bullseye (64 bit) - talking to a HDHomeRun tuner receiving UK Freeview and the OTA EPG.  That was straightforward using the .deb helper.

Because that's just too simple, I'm now trying to install NPVR manually on the same hardware running Arch Linux (actually rAudio 1 - an audio player distro - because it looked easier than getting rAudio running under Raspbian) and I'm 99% of the way there: it's all running & playing video - apart from the  EPG.   

I'm not getting the option of "DVB/ATSC EPG" as the EPG source when I scan for channels. Instead, it's offering "Freesat (UK)" - which obviously doesn't work. 

Not seeing any errors in the log - it's just only sending freesat as the option.

Any idea what could be missing to prevent that option appearing?

I installed the dtv-scan-tables-git package and got libdvbv5 from v4l-utils. 

I think that the one dependency I'm missing is 'dvb-tools' which doesn't exist as such on Arch/Arm (there's a couple of dead 'dvb-utils' packages) - but before I embark on trying to build those manually it would be good to confirm that's what is missing.

Glad you got it solved I forgot that the requirement was there for HDHR devices getting the OTA EPG.

I am looking to see if the Silicon Dust xmltv generator I wrote works in the UK and if you would be willing to help test. You seem to be able to figure out things so here is the script I wrote to install it in LibreElec

curl -L https://github.com/sub3/NextPVR/wiki/uti...hdhr-le.py -O

It shows the URL for the binaries how to install and run it. I will be documenting this better next week but my curiosity on UK use got the better of me. I know in Canada and the US the 24 hour guide is available as well as the 14 day guide for Silicon Dust DVR users
