hackztor Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 How would one pass through a PCIE tv tuner to a docker (Plex). Is this even possible? 1 Quote Link to comment
saarg Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 First you need a Plex supported tuner, which is only one hauppauge tuner and Linux support on unraid for this tuner is not available as of now. After you get the driver installed, you simply pass through /dev/dvb as a device in the Plex container template. Quote Link to comment
BRiT Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 (edited) You will need to look at CHBMBs LinuxServer.IO special builds of unRaid with DVB drivers. Edited June 3, 2017 by BRiT Quote Link to comment

BRiT Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 That was your best bet. You're on your own if you attempt to pass-through the card to a Docker. You'll have a far easier time passing it through to a VM. Quote Link to comment
hackztor Posted June 3, 2017 Author Share Posted June 3, 2017 (edited) When I use stock unraid it detects the card as Conexant. I tried the dvb edition and it detects it as LG Electronics LGDT3306A . Im hoping this will work. I know the newer model of this card (the one I have) will not be able to be used in plex till next media server version. Looks like it is passing it through correclt as the plex log says Ignoring (LG Electronics LGDT3306A VSB/QAM Frontend) as it is not supported device.

CHBMB Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Hauppauge is not supported in any of his builds yet. Until Hauppage actually release a version of their Linux drivers that don't require Ubuntu 16.04 and a PPA I can't do a thing.Although they may well pull their fingers out their butts now Plex wants to support it.Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment

I am thinking im just gonan return the dapter and get homerun extend. According to this the kernel has drivers. https://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-quadHD_(ATSC_ClearQAM) Edited June 3, 2017 by hackztor Quote Link to comment

With one of the dvb custom kernel or with stock unraid? Screenshot Edited June 3, 2017 by hackztor Quote Link to comment

TheDirtyR Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 For me I was having a hell of a time until I realized I had to add "device " /dev/dvb/ then it worked great 😆 Quote Link to comment
