Hi all,
how is the process to include more compatible tuner devices?
I am currently using a Techno Trend USB tuner ( TT-connect CT 3650) . . . it works quite well in my Linux box feeding TVHeadend.
Would be great if I could consolidate this inti Plex instead
Until more tuners are directly supported you can use tvhProxy with Plex DVR and Live TV. Runs since weeks fine here. You could also use minisatip with you tuner. In this case you need to create your lineup.json manually and put it on a local webserver.
Thanks for the quick reply, I wasn’t aware of tvhProxy . . . at least it sounds good.
Just downloaded it and browsed through re readme . . . seems I need to edit some files only (?) to make it run
No, you do not need to edit some files. Set some environment variables to fit your needs before you start the tvhProxy:
export TVH_URL="http://admin:admin@192.168.1.10:9981"
export TVH_TUNER_COUNT=4
If tvhProxy and Tvheadend are on the same system:
export TVH_URL="http://admin:admin@localhost:9981"
export TVH_TUNER_COUNT=4
then start the proxy:
python tvhProxy.py
ah,
for my understanding . . . I prepared tvhproxy according to the readme included in the ZIP file . . . ( virtualenv . . . etc. )
I unzipped the file into the hts folder
Do I have to be root to setup virtualenv ? . . . and later to run the tvhProxy?
so . … here is what I get
::ffff:127.0.0.1 - - [2017-06-30 15:28:45] “GET /lineup.json HTTP/1.0” 500 431 0.010175
::ffff:127.0.0.1 - - [2017-06-30 15:28:51] “POST /lineup.post?scan=start&source=Cable HTTP/1.0” 405 342 0.002317
At least it looks like that Plex and the TVHeadend installation “see” eachother . . . I do run the latest PlexServer 1.7.5.4035 and the TVHeadend Version 4.2.2-84
got it . . . I ignored the readme and started the proxy under my regular user, in Plex DVRSetup I just had to push the “continue” button and . . here we are . . . it took some time to populate the Program Guide but it seems to work now
I have requested TVHeadend project provide HDHomerun support so plex can use it as a network tuner, too many people didnt understand why or what so can we request that plex supports TVHeadend as a network tuner? Would be an awesome feature as would then support IPTV channels for recording and DVBS channels too.
What happens now with tvhProxy is that all recordings are not playable.
I get this errors in the logs
ERROR - Couldn’t get size of file : boost::filesystem::file_size: No such file or directory
ERROR - get - invalid frameRate value: 50.000
The file plays in other players but not in Plex, but I could “recode” it with Handbrake . . . and then it works.

sounds like a container problem, have you tried to change the container instead of re encoding?
