[Solved] tvheadend on ASUS RT-AC68U - can't access TH webUI

[timevacuum]

I am trying to get TH running on my router and I cannot get the webUI for TH to come up.

I installed the tvheadend opkg from Entware-NG on asuswrt-merlin 380.65. While TH starts, the webUI shows just a blank white loading page in the browser until I kill TH and then the browser immediately reponds with "Unable to Connect".

What is frustrating is that I know TH is trying to do something because the browser behavior changes between TH running and and not running. TH running = blank webpage, TH not running = "Unable to Connect". I am just not experienced enough to figure our why. I have tried with the router Firewall on and off. tvheadend is the only package I have installed.

Is there anything in the router software that might be blocking this?

Assuming that is your post that you linked to, you need the fix the memory errors.

Any pointers on how to take care of the memory issues?

 

[ColinTaylor]

You've run out of memory. You can supplement it by creating a swap file or swap partition.

Thank you. Setting up a swap file worked.
