Live TV/DVR - Dual tuner support?

General Discussions Plex Features
1

I recently decided to give the Live TV/DVR functionality a shot. I picked up a Hauppage tv tuner, and both the OS and plex immediately recognized it (no small feat on linux. :wink: ). However, if I’m playing something on on device and try to play something on the computer, I get a message “All Tuners are Currently in Use” and a single option “Stop watching WHATEVER-SHOW and continue”. Are dual tuners supported?

My setup:
Arch linux - Up to date
plexmediaserver - Version 1.13.2.5154 installed from the AUR.
Hauppauge WinTV-DualHD - output of lsusb (3.2 KB)

The WinTV-DualHD requires a 4.17 Kernel to support both tuners. Arch is still 4.16

Edit: My Arch just updated to 4.17 :smiley: So everything is fine. Just update your Arch, restart the server and remove / add the card again to Plex DVR to make Plex aware of the second tuner.
