Emby not seeing Hauppauge Tuners even though WinTV 10 works

[fastcity 2]

I have a Hauppauge WinTV-quadHD and got emby premiere but despite WinTV 10 being installed and working which I've read should work with Emby I can't detect the cards.

 

I have a log attached which shows an error when discovering tuners.

Hi, at this point we haven't yet tested with WinTV 10. We can only say that WinTV 8.5 works.

 

Good news though - we are working on all-new hauppauge support which won't have any dependency on WinTV so pretty soon it won't matter anymore.

Would you like to give us your current definition of "pretty soon"?

 

Is it currently > 2 years?

 

Or less than 6 months?

 

Or somewhere in between?

WinTV v8.5 and WinTV v10 use the same background engine (HauppaugeTVServer) so anything that relies on calls available in WinTV v8.5 will work with WinTV v10.

 

The only different is the executables are in a different folder (and with newer code added)

We're hoping it will be the focal point of the 4.5 series.

Just Hauppauge or is it more generic (e.g. BDA)?

That odd work fine in with WinTV 10 and Emby 4.5.0.6 beta have try a reboot ?, being I have both the PCIe and USB model

Alright I tried a few things but Emby still isn't recognizing any new devices (I have the PCIe Quad HD btw).

 

I tried installing WinTV 8.5 but found that impossibe, the installer forced me to download the installer for WinTV 10. Shouldn't matter tho so I reinstalled WinTV 10. This did not fix the issue (although WinTV and WinTV extend work fine).

 

I then tried upgrading to Emby 4.5.0.6 beta but the tuner is unfortunately still not visible.

what do you have a DVB or ATSC Tuner post model number off the box

[fastcity 2]

I have an ATSC tuner model number 1609

[SHSPVR 123]

I have an ATSC tuner model number 1609

That very odd it doesn't work

Maybe you should think about NextPVR as there are two way one as m3u tuner which I perf or by emby nextpvr plug-in

Edited April 24, 2020 by SHSPVR

[fastcity 2]

NextPVR does the same for me. NextPVR itself does indeed work, however Emby is not able to get channel listings or access recordings from it.

[Luke 42077]

Have you tried using WinTV 8.5?

[fastcity 2]

I was actually unable to install WinTV 8.5, the installer would direct me to download WinTV 10 and wouldn't let me install WinTV 8.5.

[Luke 42077]

Ok thanks for the feedback. Stay tuned for our upcoming revamped Hauppauge support which won't depend on WinTV anymore.

If you wanted to play a bit in the meantime - can I ask if you had a guide working in NextPVR and if you used the NextPVR plugin in Emby or not.

[Spaceboy 2573]

Personally I much prefer the Any backend-> m3u -> emby route. Best of both worlds

[HauppaugeDev 0]

Luke - What files are you current dependant on from WinTV v8.5? I'd like to make sure WinTV v10 has everything required for you. Please feel free to reply here or drop me an email sdk@hauppauge.co.uk

 

Thanks

How did you setup NextPVR to Emby by the NextPVR Plug-in or as M3U Tuner as I listed here

Dose NextPVR see the EPG in own TV Guide menu ?

[fastcity 2]

I set it up using the plugin.

 

For the M3U route, I need to make a file like "OTA-Tuner.txt" with my channel list, correct? Is there any way to export that from NPVR or does it need to be done manually?

I added a few channels and the M3U route does work! Thank you.

 

Is there any way to export the full channel list from NPVR though?

[arrbee99 1815]

I guess you used the v5 plugin for v5 NextPVR ?

[fastcity 2]

Maybe not? It says v3.3.3.0 but I don't see another NPVR plugin.
