Created attachment 114475 [details] screenshot program kaffeine without exspected device entry [device 1] Dear developer, NO device created by kaffeine but the hauppauge driver should be the correct [/lib/firmware/dvb-demod-si2168-b40-01.fw] on hauppauge usb-stick WinTV-SoloHD. I tried over a week to get a positiv result but could not get it. Only on operating system windows 10 every thing works well. Please, help me to get it work on LINUX [64bit Mint 19 - Tara]. I thank you in advance

I've no idea how Mint 19 sets file permissions, but you need to check if the current user has "r" and "x" permissions for the DVB adapter directory: $ ls -l /dev/dvb total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 120 nov 5 08:09 adapter0 You'll also need to check that it has permissions inside the adapter itself: $ ls -l /dev/dvb/adapter0 total 0 crw-rw---- 1 root video 212, 1 nov 5 08:09 demux0 crw-rw---- 1 root video 212, 2 nov 5 08:09 dvr0 crw-rw---- 1 root video 212, 0 nov 5 08:09 frontend0 crw-rw---- 1 root video 212, 3 nov 5 08:09 net0 In this specific case, only users of the group "video" have read/write permissions. Kaffeine need both permissions in order to control the DVB device and receive video streams.
That looks like an install issue, that it is requiring all users of /dev/dvb to belong to the "group" video, easily solved with a command like: # groupadd video username or with (where username is your user at the Linux machine)
Sorry, hit enter too soon...
