Hello,
I bought a RTL-SDR dongle from ebay which has a new hardware ID. The dongle *is working* after adding its hardware ID to the list of supported devices in the "/src/librtlsdr.c" file.
*Hardware ID:* ID 15f4:0133 HanfTek
*Description of the dongle:* Black cover with white text "DAB+FM+DVB-T".
Please update the source code, because I can't use gqrx-sdr as this hardware id is currently missing in the library. Although I compiled rtl-sdr with my added hardware id, I dont know how to make gqrx-sdr work with my own compiled rtl-sdr version and not the original library that lacks my hardware id. I'm using Ubuntu.
Sincerely, Martin
GQRX uses osmosdr plugin, not librtlsdr. I will add your device ID to librtlsdr. I will also get the source code for osmosdr and make a patch for the ID.
The librtlsdr in osmocom is very outdated and they're not applying the patches usually people send, so we forked it and applied / tested here: https://github.com/librtlsdr/librtlsdr
If you can, create an issue in github about that, I will fix it tomorrow.

I've added the the ID. Which tuner is the dongle using? R820T?
In order to install the library, you need to run "sudo make install" followed by "sudo ldconfig". Afterwards it should work with gqrx.
