TVHeadend with Analog Tuner

Nuno Marujo

Good night.

I have an MSI VOX USB2.0 TV BOX (https://www.msi.com/product/multimedia/VOX_USB2.0_TV_BOX.html#hero-overview), which is an Analog Tuner. I would like to know if there is any way that I can have it functioning under TvHeadend, and if so, how can I do it?

This device has an em2820 card. I already got the drivers being loaded, but it is not listed by TvHeadend.

Thanks

4.0/4.1 does not support analogue input. 3.4 did I believe but it was dropped in later releases.

However, you should be able to capture it by using something like ffmpeg or gstreamer to pass it on to tvheadend.

There is some info here https://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/V4L_capturing

If you do a search online "linux analog capture ffmpeg" (or gstreamer) you should find some info.

You can then use ffmpeg to convert it to mpegts & pipe it into tvheadend using pipe://. See [[Custom_MPEG-TS_Input]] for an idea.

Thanks,

Ive had a poke around with ffmpeg and it looks like what i'm after but the command line beats me every time. It would be a heck of a lot simpler i'm sure. Will have a look at those links and see what i can work out.

Thanks
