Hello Linux Geeksters. As you may know, TV-Maxe is an alternative for Sopcast, enabling the users to easily watch both international and Romanian TV channels. Among others, it supports Gstreamer, VLC and HTTP remote control. The latest version available is TV-Maxe 0.09, coming with support for support for stream recording, better support for m3u8 files, an improved GUI and some other fixes.
In this article I will show you how to install TV-Maxe 0.09 on Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr, Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy Salamander, Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal Quetzal, Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin, Linux Mint 17 Qiana, Linux Mint 16 Petra, Linux Mint 14 Nadia, Linux Mint 13 Maya, Elementary OS 0.2 Luna and their derivative systems.
Because it is available via ppa, installing TV-Maxe 0.09 on Ubuntu, Linux Mint and Elementary OS is easy. All you have to do is add the ppa to your system, update the local repository index and install the tv-maxe package. Like this:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:venerix/pkg
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install tv-maxe
Optional, to remove tv-maxe, do:
$ sudo apt-get remove tv-maxe
Or, if you want to uninstall tv-maxe, disable the recently added PPA and downgrade all the packages that got updated via the PPA, do:
$ sudo apt-get install ppa-purge
$ sudo ppa-purge ppa:venerix/pkg
