Hauppauge WinTV-soloHD

Hi, How hard would it be to add support for Hauppauge WinTV-soloHD ? Is there any existing supported device that could be used as a starting point ?

Hello,

From the link that you have provided it seems like it is not going to be much more difficult than adding support for any other device. It looks like em28xx-cards.c needs porting over to this framework in Java.

However I don't own the hardware and without being able to test makes it almost impossible to debug. Therefore, I am not planning to work on adding this device in the near future.

However if you do manage to port it and it is stable I would be more than happy to merge in a PR.

It seems that this device uses the same tuner & demodulator as Mygica T230 (si2168 & si2157). But do you think I can use one of the existing subclasses of DvbUsbDevice (CxUsbDvbDevice, Af9035DvbDevice, Rtl28xxDvbDevice) or do I need to create a new one ?

If this is indeed the case all you might need to do is to add the hardware ids of your device to the list for T230. This will make the driver attempt to talk to your device as if it is T230. Let me know how this goes.

Unfortunately that doesn't work. I guess I need to create a new subclass of DvbUsbDevice to implement the Empia EM28178 USB interface, based on the emxx linux drivers.

However I don't have the skills to understand and port the driver code. Would you consider doing it if I sent you the hardware?
