I am currently running my Plex media server in a docker container on Linux Ubuntu 16.04 server. My system sees the tuner…
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 2040:b123 Hauppauge
but Plex in the docker container does not.
Can anybody please help me figure out how to get the tuner to work with Plex in the docker container?
Thank you!
You have to add your tuner to the container (e.g. with --device=/dev/dvb) and make sure that your permissions are OK.
Moved to the Docker forum.
Can you expand on this? I am unable to run this command as I dont know what im doing (I do everything in the GUI) I keep getting “invalid argument” and “not an absolute path” errors. Thanks!
Please don’t get me wrong, but please just use the Ubuntu installation package till you know what you are doing 
Not sure if you figured this out yet but I finally was able to get it after a few hours of searching and playing. Myself being a complete noob with Linux and Docker, thought I would share what I had to add to get it working for anyone else looking.
Make sure you install the tuner for linux according to these instuctions:

Following the Plex Docker Instructions from here:
I added the line below to the host networking example:
–device=/dev/dvb:/dev/dvb \
I dont think it matter so much where you put it. I put it in after:
–network=host \
The beauty of docker was that I removed it, ran the docker commands again and everything was up and running really quickly.
My Tuner showed up in the settings after that on the web interface for Plex.
