Nova-T stick is definitely not supported currently.

nice.
Yeah, same here.

Very exciting. Got it discovered with Ubuntu Zesty.
I needed to
chmod 666 /dev/dvb/adapter0/*
though as the devices ared owned by root. Anyone know a better workaround that will persist across reboots?
Thanks for pointing out the log! And now I feel like an idiot after looking at the logs and seeing what I pasted below. My USB tuner was behind some equipment with a USB extension cable. I plugged it in to my linux box and have had all these issues, only to realize that the one I plugged in was a PCTV HD Stick Pro and not a Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-955Q. I had both and gave one to my brother since I never used them…looks like I gave away the newer one, the wrong one : (

That’s awesome! When does it show up? After you press the “Setup Plex DVR” button? Where it searches for network devices?
give your Plex user acces to the ‘video’ group:
sudo usermod -a -G video plex
And you should be good!

Hi keithah,
Do you have any idea of timescale or priority on the roadmap to widen the range of supported tuners?
Only asking as I have a number of tuners Nova-T, Nova-TD, Kworld, PlusTV etc and if it’s only going to be a couple of months then I would like to save myself the cost of buying a new one.

It shows up when you start discovering the DVR over the network. If you look at the log (/var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application\ Support/Plex\ Media\ Server/Logs/Plex\ Tuner\ Service.log) you’ll see that it’s using v4l with local devices at the same time that the network discovery is going on.
This works out quite well for me. I have an LXD container inside of Ubuntu Zesty and I was able to passthrough the Hauppauge XBOX USB adapter and Plex works well with it. I needed to make the container privileged because I passed through disks as well and the idmaps were a pain to get working.
Was able to watch the NBA finals on my iPad last night.

Very good. I’ll give that a test this morning! Thank you!

EDIT: Got it working. Needed to define the UID/GID for the devices in the LXD config:
devices:
/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0:
gid: "44"
path: /dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0
type: unix-char

/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0:
gid: "44"
path: /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0
type: unix-char
uid: "0"
/dev/dvb/adapter0/net0:
gid: "44"
path: /dev/dvb/adapter0/net0
type: unix-char
uid: "0"
hauppauge:

productid: b123
type: usb
uid: "0"
vendorid: "2040"
Rats… Doesn’t work for me… In the case of a LXD passthrough ti shows up with root:root ownership:
ubuntu@plex:~$ ls -lh /dev/dvb/adapter0/
total 0
crw-rw---- 1 root root 212, 1 Jun 2 13:30 demux0
crw-rw---- 1 root root 212, 2 Jun 2 13:30 dvr0
crw-rw---- 1 root root 212, 0 Jun 2 13:30 frontend0
crw-rw---- 1 root root 212, 3 Jun 2 13:30 net0
But in the host it does have the video group:
ls -ryan@adonis:~$ ls -lh /dev/dvb/adapter0/
total 0
crw-rw---- 1 root video 212, 1 Jun 2 09:31 demux0
crw-rw---- 1 root video 212, 2 Jun 2 09:31 dvr0
crw-rw---- 1 root video 212, 0 Jun 2 09:31 frontend0
crw-rw---- 1 root video 212, 3 Jun 2 09:31 net0
Will need to figure out stuff now…
