Raspberry Pi 2 Model B and Hauppauge WinTV 955Q

[richardr]

I have a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B running the latest version of OpenElec. I also purchased a Hauppauge 1191 WinTV-HVR-955Q USB TV Tuner to use with the Pi. (It's listed on the wiki page for Supported Turners). Can someone give me direction on how to get it working with the Pi?

Thanks,

Richard

plug it in. set up tvheadend. activate the tvheadend pvr plugin.

Nickr,

Thanks for the reply. I thought that was all I needed to do, but that doesn't work. I went to Add-ons, Disabled Add-ons and enabled the TvHeadend HTSP Client. After I did that, I keep getting an error message popping up saying "Tvheadend HTSP Client, client lost".

I didn't change any of the default values under configuration. The Tvheadend hostname or IP address is 127.0.0.1. HTTP Port is 9981 and the HTSP Port is 9982.

I also didn't see anywhere to tell the software to use or to otherwise select the 955Q.

Did you install tvheadend? There are two parts to this, the server and the client. I think you have oly done the client.

Nickr,

Yeah!! I'm making headway (sort of).

I found this OpenElec wiki entry which talks about installing the backend of TVHeadend: http://wiki.openelec.tv/index.php/Configuring_Tvheadend
And I found this Raspberry Pi forum entry that explains that the above mentioned wiki entry is wrong: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewt...1&p=623075
(See the entry by kphammond9, dated Wed Apr 01, 2015 1:57 pm)

So, I got both the frontend and backend of TVHeadend installed. I'm able to browse (from a different machine) to port 9981 on the Raspberry Pi. And I found the TV Adapters tab under Configuration | DVB Inputs. But alas, no tuner is listed. I've tried plugging the 995Q directly into the Raspberry Pi, and also via a powered hub (just in case the Pi isn't giving it enough power). In both cases, I've rebooted the Pi after plugging in the tuner, and then refreshed the browser window. Yet, I'm still not getting any turner listed.

Any suggestions?

I appreciate your help,

Richard

HVR-955Q is supported starting from OpenELEC 6.0. You can try the recently released OE 6 Beta.

Trsqr,

Oh. Thanks, I didn't realized that. But, where do I get the OE 6 Beta? I went to the download page for OpenELEC and the only downloads listed for the Pi 2 are the stable 5.0.8 version, and the 5.95.1 beta.

Thanks for the help,

Richard

5.95 is the OE6 beta.

[richardr]

Thanks for all your help -- I got the WinTV working using the OE 6 beta!
