Hauppauge HD PVR driver

[jaysee]

I need the driver for Hauppauge HD PVR present on the OpenElec build.
hdpvr (part of the kernel since ~2.6.29.1) , doesnt that mean its already part of OpenElec? Trying to find it gave no results though.

Is there anyone who can guide me on what I need to do to get the driver on OpenElec or can I simply request for it to be added? I am not currently competent enough to build my own kernel. I know basic linux. I got a barebones Ubuntu installation however, I realised it is not powerful enough to compile the kernel.

Thanks and best regards!

It's part of the kernel in an add-on module .. which hasn't been included in any OE build to my knowledge. Sraue did a dev build for me quite some time ago but I couldn't get tvheadend to work properly. I'll reach out to him on IRC and see if he'll do a build with the driver. What build are you on?

That would be awesome.. I'm on the latest stable build on zotac nano AMD type hardware.
Also if he could post the commands done in order to add the module prior to compiling it would be great for learning purposes.
(compiling the kernel is already covered in step by step tutorial on the wiki, however adding this module isn't. )
in any case I do not have the hardware to attempt to compile it myself atm.

I got the tvheadend backend running however I can't do much with it without the driver in the kernel.

thanks in advance!

You need to know which Hauppauge Card you have, you need for every card a specific driver !
You could try the crazycat or media_build version from OE (look at my signature for url), maybe (i don´tt know which card you have) it works

Its the Hauppauge 1445 HD-PVR, there is a link to the driver in my first post. Are you able to compile the kernel with the driver using the latest generic build? As mentioned above the driver should be available in the linux kernel add-on module as well.

As far as i know this is not supported and as i see at the mythtv wiki it is a mess to include it.

[jaysee]

its the exact same hardware as the 1212 just different cables included in the box and different colour of the led lights...

[CvH]

for the 1212 it is the same
no real linux support at all only some hackish MythTV support

is there any light on this issue?
My hauppauge hd pvr has just been collecting dust since my last post... my intent with getting it was actually to record HD content from my settop box using openelecs interface... is there another appliance I can use instead of the hauppauge hd pvr for this purpose? I do not require a tuner, I just want to watch my existing settop box channels using OpenElec and have the possibility of recording
