The build will fail because I have some patching to do.

From the Arch user repo:

  sed -i "s|SUBDIRS = ../libhdhomerun src|SUBDIRS = src|g" Makefile.am
  sed -i "s|-I../../libhdhomerun|-I/usr/include/libhdhomerun|g" src/Makefile.am
  sed -i "s|-L../../libhdhomerun -lhdhomerun|-lhdhomerun|g" src/Makefile.am

I know it needs the library libhdhomerun and that its filename is libhdhomerun.so. I just don't know what path to put in the file src/Makefile.am (line 2 above).

It builds now BUT there's an issue with detecting hdhomerun tuners on the local network. Apparently this also applies to libhdhomerun.

When having "libhdhomerun" installed on Arch and running "hdhomerun_config discover" whereas with NixOS nothing happens.
Do I need to allow something for "libhdhomerun" to be able to detect devices on the local network?

@LouisDK1 Sorry, I can't help with that. In general packages should be able to access the network without you having to do anything special. I suspect you will have to try to use strace and/or wireshark to figure out what's going on.

Turns out it has a firewall related issue. I have suggested adding a comment in another pull req for libhdhomerun.

I've made some changes. "vlc" has to be installed for the application to playback streams hence added.
I've also included both gcc and gnumake at the top. If that unnecessary just let me know - they're needed at build time.

Nice, rebased to master in 2204f74 🙂
