I’m trying to get a Hauppauge WinTV-quadHD (ATSC ClearQAM) tuner card working with a Plex Docker container on a Fedora based system. I am signed in with a PlexPass account. As per linuxtv it should be plug and play.
| Software | Version |
|---|---|
| Plex | 1.13.2.5154 |
| Fedora | 4.16.11-100.fc26.x86_64 |
| Docker | 18.03.1-ce |
Using –device=/dev/dvb:/dev/dvb the tuner is present in the container (shows up as /dev/dvb). Running dmesg it shows that the driver is loaded:
[ 5.720758] cx23885: cx23885 driver version 0.0.4 loaded
[ 5.720969] cx23885: CORE cx23885[0]: subsystem: 0070:6a18, board: Hauppauge WinTV-QuadHD-ATSC [card=57,autodetected]
When I click ‘Set up Plex DVR’ in settings nothing shows up. From ‘Plex Tuner Service.log’ I show the following:

Running the container with –privileged fixes the libusb_init -99 error but not DeviceGetList_impl. 13 error. I still does not show up in Plex. I would like to not have to run with –privileged anyways.
I found this forum post but it didn’t provide much help.
Should I just switch distros to Ubuntu 16.04 LTS or is there something else I can try?
Thanks in advance!
