When will OSMC support Hauppauge 1595 TV tuner

Hi
I have just bought
RP 3 Model B and I downloaded the latest OSMC OS
I have a Hauppauge SL-1595 WinTV-dualHD usb tuner
I can see that the device is connected through
/sys/class/kernel/debug/usb/devices

I dont see any logs in dmesg for this device and from numerous searches through google it seems that this device may not be supported yet in OSMC .
Do you have a plan to support this in the near future ? if not can you suggest a way I could fix this myself. I see libreELEC is supporting this now.

What kernel version is LE using that supports this?

Sam

Hi Sam
Thx for quick response, I dont have the exact details at this point.
I found this forum link

Where they are saying its already supported in their current version back in january and they say the 2nd tuner in that device is coming in kernel 4.17
I also found this link
https://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-dualHD
which says the 1595 device is supported from kernel 4.11 which I believe is osmc current kernel major version. So I did think it was supported.
Hope this helps. If you need more information I will have to investigate.

Also just found this page which suggets kernel 4.9 for LE9 , its getting confusing.
Robin

OSMC on Pi uses 4.14. You can verify this with uname -a.
Maybe you are just missing firmware. Try posting a log.

I will get logs might, do you want dmesg logs or something else.
What do yu mean by “missing firmware”.
I don’t have the device in front of me currently but I did check the kernel version and it was 4.14.etc

Dmesg is ok as a start or just run grab-logs -A and post the URL.

Read the information on the linuxtv link you posted above, in the how to make it work there is a firmware section.

  1. Logs here https://paste.osmc.tv/ukukiwugon

  2. I dont see anything in /dev ie /dev/dvb

  3. From /sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices

For the firmware I followed this up and it looks like I have the firmware in /lib/firmware
If this was the issue I would have thought I would see an error from the driver as it failed to find the firmware. Do you use devicetree and if so does the driver for this device have to be setup from devicetree so that it will try and detect and load the device with the firmware

UPDATE
I found this thread

and half way down they are saying that kernel 4.14 doesnt support this device so I think I have to get another device or move to a different setup.

You need to wait for us to move off 4.14, which won’t be far off.
LE is on 4.9 however; and only moving to 4.14 for LE9.x

Sam

Any idea how long before you will make the next release and what kernel it will use ?

We usually do monthly kernel releases.
We won’t move off 4.14 for a while; but it’s not more than a few months off.

Cheers

Sam
