Hi,

Plex have support for this DEVICE - Hauppauge WinTV-soloHD

This device is similiar to that i own WinTV (292e)
http://www.hauppauge.co.uk/site/products/data_292e.html

Discribed here :
https://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-soloHD

And as you can see they even use the same drive,

https://git.linuxtv.org/media_tree.git/commit/?id=1efc21701d94ed0c5b91467b042bed8b8becd5cc

{ USB_DEVICE(0x2013, 0x025f), /* Hauppauge WinTV-292E */
.driver_info = EM28178_BOARD_PCTV_292E },

  • { USB_DEVICE(0x2040, 0x0264), /* Hauppauge WinTV-soloHD */
  •   	.driver_info = EM28178_BOARD_PCTV_292E },

Can be possible support this device ?
Tell me if it is more complicated than add support this ID 2013:025f

Thx

Even I would have the same tuner …

How did you solve it?

Still not supported.

DVR:Grabber: Ignoring (PCTV 292e) which is an unsupported tuner device

I don’t know what’s the big deal, it’s literally the same chip (or maybe the whole product but with different branding) as the supported WinTV-soloHD.

And as pointed above, they use the same linux kernel driver and firmware.

It’s even stated on Hauppauge’s website that PCTV Systems is a sister company.
