Hello, I was hoping someone could help me or point to guide for getting usb tv tuner added to plex container. I have tried a bunch of stuff I read on here and still no luck.

Thanks for any help

The best way to achieve this is by passing it via /dev/serial

start by running ls /dev/serial/by-id

/dev/serial/by-id# ls
usb-ITEAD_SONOFF_Zigbee_3.0_USB_Dongle_Plus_V2_20221031181347-if00@
usb-Silicon_Labs_CP2102N_USB_to_UART_Bridge_Controller_b873a0061ea4eb1190412c259da30875-if00-port0@

and you should see your USB device

then all you have to do is edit the container template, click on "Add path port variable device"

and punch it in like so (note you do NOT include the @ symbol at the end)

Hit apply and it should appear inside the container

Note: If this does not work sometimes linux expects the device to be identified as /dev/ttyUSB0 if that is necessary what you need to do is edit the device and append :/dev/ttyUSB0 to the end of the entry in the value field

it would look like:

usb-ITEAD_SONOFF_Zigbee_3.0_USB_Dongle_Plus_V2_20221031181347-if00:/dev/ttyUSB0

thats where i keep getting hung up. why do i get an error when running that. what am i doing wrong?

Look under /dev/dvb/ for "adapter0" or something, then you will pass that such as

Value: /dev/dvb/adapter0:/dev/dvb/dapater0

thank you! that got it working for me!
