WinTV-HVR-2255 not found

[baj1]

My WinTV-HVR-2255 isn't found in a scan using v5.09 on Linux Mint v19.3

I saw reference to /dev/dvb, but I don't have a dvb folder in my /dev folder.

The Hauppauge site doesn't explicitly call out the 2255 as supported on linux, but does say all dual HD tuner cards (which the 2255 is).

Any thoughts?  Any debug tools/tips?

Thanks,
-Brad

You need to check dmesg to see what it detects on startup. The distro (ie Mint) determines if it installs the HW support for devices you might need to follow up on the Mint forum.

Crazy. I had rebooted many times after doing the media tree install and even doing the Hauppauge driver install instructions, even though the 2255 wasn't listed as a device requiring that. I had only my HDHR in settings-devices and nothing new would show up with a scan.

I booted back to Windows for my wife to use NextPVR last night. I boot back to Mint this morning, see your response and try dmesg (been a while, thanks for the pointer) and bam! there it is.

It's listed in settings-devices now too, although it shows up as Samsung. I suppose they make the chipset Hauppauge uses?

Thanks again,

I also have a /dev/dvb folder now with adapter0 and adapter1. I wish I could remember the last thing I did yesterday, I guess all I needed was one more reboot.

[shspvr]

yes that also help if reboot

Depend on some 22?? come with LG tuner while other come with Samsung tuner and that just a linux thing unlike with Windows device manager

Mine has the Samsung and I use tuner 2 on linux for SD analog svideo 16x9 capture from a STB and it does a decent job.
