I just did a fresh install of Ubuntu 18.04 and installed Plex but Plex cannot find my Hauppauge WinTV-quadHD (PCIe model) tv tuner. Anyone with any clues? It used to work on my old install… I’ve followed the instructions I used last time I reloaded Ubuntu/Plex, and even went as far as to pull the latest instructions from GIT, but no luck.
Below is a snip from my Plex Logs, but first I think the problem is a permissions issue:
