I’ve seen a few posts here like this one Missing Cable provider; and or possibility to manual setup settings - #5 by whoisbarry which say to specify the provider ini file myself. However, the folder Plex Media Server/Resources/Tuner/ does not exist as far as I can tell, and I can’t tell if I need to create it, or if it’s removed in the latest versions.
So I guess my question is how can I add a custom provider, or just scan all frequencies?
I am still using my own created channel list as described at your mentioned post:
Since I did the setup on my Synology DiskStation with DSM6 back then I just rechecked this with the latest DSM7 - the folder is still the same.
/volume1/@appstore/Plex Media Server/Resources/Tuner/Shared/scanners/dvbc/transponders
Since you are running Plex in a docker container I assume your path is slightly different, maybe something like /volume1/@docker/...
I guess you have to log in via SSH with root privileges since these folders are not visible in the GUI. Using a software like WinSCP makes this very easy.
Thanks for the reply. I can easily access the docker container with $ docker exec -it plex /bin/sh but In the Plex Media Server (which exists) I just don’t see the Resources/Tuner folder structure. I might be looking at a different place, or the linuxserver guys did something to this setup - although I can’t find anything in the Dockerfile. Perhaps I’ll try creating the file and mapping it as volume directly.
Turns out my device had some kernel driver issues, outside the docker container . Upon reinstalling those I was able to use the existing presets to find most (all?) channels I needed.
I still haven’t figured the part about custom cable provider, but I don’t need it anymore.
