Hauppage winTV quad on Plex

Operating System ZimaOS
1

Hy,

I currently switched from a self maintained homeassistant supervised install to Zima OS.

I want to enable DVR feature on Plex as Inhad before.
My DVB T2 Card is a Hauppage winTV quad pci.

My troubleshooting has pointed out that the kernel doesn’t have the required cx23885 module.

@zima-jerry as the filesystem is immutable could you kindly add it?

Thank you
Carlo

How I state that:

I’ve found the required decoder firmware under /lib/firmware/hauppauge

> ls /lib/firmware/hauppauge/ | grep dvb-demod-si2168-b40-01.fw
dvb-demod-si2168-b40-01.fw

but pci devices don’t have a driver in use:

The missing module is in the mainline linux kernel.

Conexant cx23885 (2388x successor) support

# modulename: cx23885.ko

# In linux kernel since version 2.6.24 (release Date: 2008-01-24)

But could be useful for you to enable all the v4l package (video for linux) as I noticed that other user are plain with frigate, and video acquisition or video surveillance.

Ok I’ll add it, it should be released with the new version.

Thank you very much!
