WinTV QuadHD USB on 19.10 (pop os) Works in Kaffeine

Live TV & DVR
1

Server Version#: 1.19.3.2764
Tuner Make/Model: WinTV QuadHD USB

Shot in the dark here, has anyone been successful on getting The USB version of quadHD to be detected by Plex?

Linux pop-os 5.3.0-46202004200420-generic #1+mediatree+hauppauge-Ubuntu SMP Mon May 4 20:21:20 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Kaffeine picks up and can utilize the tuner so I’m hoping there is something on the PLex side I can rectify.

‘plex’ is part of the ‘video’ group and I do see all 4 tuners in /dev/dvb/*. I’ve been in contact with the developer of the PPA concerning the 20.04 release, but doubt anything will change once that’s in the wild. In case anyone is wondering, Hauppauge was hit hard by covid and he wasn’t working for awhile.

I guess I’m wondering if anyone has gotten this to work in the linux versions that Hauppauge says Plex supports:

  • 16.04 Xenial with kernel 4.4
  • 17.10 Artful with kernel 4.13
  • 18.04 Bionic with kernel 4.15

Obviously I’m running kernel 5.3+ with the 19.10 release, but I haven’t come across a success story yet concerning any linux distro.

Thanks in advance for any help or guidance!

In case anyone is wondering how the box (and Kaffeine) sees the tuners:
