I own a Hauppauge WinTV-dualHD and WinTV-soloHD. I tested both tuners on 2 separate linux machines with different kinds of Plex installations. All possible combinations fail to complete the dvb setup process. To exclude user and product failures I tested everything double redundant. I have 2 unrela…

Hi @pshanew . Thanks for the heads up. I did that. For example on the Ubuntu device I added the appropriate firmware using the official instructions from hauppage. Hauppauge Support | Running WinTV TV tuners and HD PVR 2 under Linux linux, ubuntu, plex, android, plex, raspberry, pi …

Is user plex a member of the group which the drivers are loaded as? Plex is not privileged on Linux. It cannot access devices unless permissions grant it. If the tuner was added AFTER Plex was installed, it won’t be aware of the tuner. The installer is written to search for tuners and other de…

I confirm that I still successfully use DVB-C (WinTV Dual-HD) in the Netherlands with the latest stable version 1.25.3.5385. Running PMS on Arch Linux (bare, not e.g. in Docker or Proxxmox). Note that there is an ongoing issue in the current version (v1.22.3.4523 and later) where not all found chan…

I added user plex to the dailout group and changed permission of the device recursively to 777. I thought drivers are loaded by dailout, however i am unsure at this moment. @ChuckPa to which installer script are you referring? The one from the deb release? Docker and snap can be deployed without t…

Hi Broekmanium. Good to hear that your setup works. Wondering how your lsusb looks like. I noticed that my dvb device output changed after installing the PPA firmware.

lsusb: Bus 003 Device 004: ID 2040:8265 Hauppauge dualHD. Could you do the following: Unplug the Hauppauge Start “dmesg -w” (tails dmesg) Insert the Hauppauge What’s the output?

The plex user must be allowed to access the video group, which is the default group DVR devices show up in: usermod -a -G video plex

Update from my Ubuntu 20.04 LTS machine: @Broekmanium plex was already part of the video group. I also added plex to the plugdev group. as I am running an HWE release I ran following commands to install the appropriate firmware: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:b-rad/kernel+mediatree+hauppauge sudo ap…

Followup point: Whichever UID/GID pair is used in the container, that UID/GID pair is what must have the group membership E.G. Native Plex package installed and id plex returns uid=996(plex) gid=996(plex) groups=996(plex),44(video),109(render) To gain the group mapping user plex has, you mu…
