Connect a source

Tvheadend and HTSP

Choose the HTTP or HTSP connector that matches your server.

Applies to 0.74 development preview; capture versions are stated below each illustration · English guide

What you need

Tvheadend is a server source, not an IPTV subscription. Configure its real inputs, channel mapping and access rights first.

The HTTP/WebUI port and HTSP port are different. Common defaults are 9981 for HTTP and 9982 for HTSP; your administrator may have changed them.

Channel visibility, streaming and recording rights are separate permissions.

Set up the source

  1. Choose Tvheadend for the HTTP route or Tvheadend HTSP for an available compatible HTSP service.
  2. Enter the correct address/port and account. Check the connection.
  3. Import channels and the available server guide.
  4. Start a permitted channel, then inspect recordings or schedules only if the server exposes those actions.
The tvheadend source form with its connection fields and check action.

Capabilities and limits

  • Use the source type rather than placing an HTSP address in an HTTP playlist field.
  • A successful HTTP login does not establish that the HTSP port is reachable.
