HDMI capture device not detected by tvheadend

Issa2024

Hi everyone,

I am having trouble getting my HDMI capture device to work with tvheadend. I am using a Bus 003 Device 002: ID 345f:2130 MACROSILICON USB3.0 Capture
capture device, and I have it connected to my computer via a USB port. The device is detected by my operating system, but it is not showing up in tvheadend.

i can't found the driver for this key
I am still unable to get the device to show up in tvheadend.

Any help would be appreciated.

System Information:

Operating System: ubuntu serveur 22.04
tvheadend Version: HTS Tvheadend 4.3-2252_g4430ee70f
Capture Device: stagiaire@tvheadend:~$ lsusb
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 345f:2130 MACROSILICON USB3.0 Capture
Additional Information:

I have attached the output of the lsusb command to this post.
Thanks,

stagiaire@tvheadend:~$ lsusb
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 345f:2130 MACROSILICON USB3.0 Capture

Tvheadend does not support capture cards natively, it only supports TV tuners. Use the pipe-function to include external sources, like capture cards or similar things.

after that i add this to tvheadend :

with a pipe like this :

pipe:///usr/bin/ffmpeg -i /dev/video0 -c copy -f mpegts pipe:1

but now way to found this new channel in tvheadend ?

Issa2024 You are putting your pipe:// URL in the wrong spot. It is not a “Network” — a “Network” in TVHeadend is a group of feeds.

Instead, you should first add a new empty network of type “IPTV Network” there. Then go to “Muxes” and add a new mux — the first dialog will prompt you to select your newly-created IPTV network, after which you can add your “pipe://“ command as the mux URL. Once you create that mux, it should automatically scan and find a “Service”, then you can select that service under the “Services” tab and choose “Map services” to create a channel from it.

Hello there,

I hope someone can assist me in completing this configuration, as it would be really great if it works.

Thanks to all!

If you don't tell FFmpeg how to transcode the video and audio, it may not be in a format your media player can play properly.

You could try something like this:
pipe:///usr/bin/ffmpeg -i /dev/video0 -c:v libx264 -c:a aac -f mpegts pipe:1
