Device found but returning blank device info

[klarrieu]

This was running fine for me but it recently stopped working. It looks like it's finding the device,

rtlamr2mqtt  | [2024-08-26 19:24:56] RTL SDR Device 0bda:2838 found on USB port 001:003 - Index: 0

but then returning blank data:

rtlamr2mqtt  | [2024-08-26 19:25:01] RTL_TCP: Found 1 device(s):
rtlamr2mqtt  |   0:  , , SN: 

which then appears to lead to the following (not sure if that's the reason):

rtlamr2mqtt  | Using device 0: Generic RTL2832U OEM
rtlamr2mqtt  | usb_open error -4
rtlamr2mqtt  | Failed to open rtlsdr device #0.

The error code appears to correspond to LIBUSB_ERROR_NO_DEVICE.

rtlamr works fine for me if I run it outside the docker container, so I'm not sure what is going wrong here.

Here is my rtlamr2mqtt.yaml:

general:
  sleep_for: 5
  verbosity: debug

mqtt:
  host: localhost
  user:
  password:
  ha_autodiscovery: true
  ha_autodiscovery_topic: homeassistant

meters:
  - id: <redacted>
    protocol: scm+
    name: meter_water
    format: "#####"
    unit_of_measurement: "ft³"
    device_class: water
    state_class: total_increasing

Any advice is much appreciated!

I wonder if something is preventing the container from getting a lock on it. Ditto on the setup for me too, and this just stopped working for me as well. Local machine is fine if ran is root.

Curious what distro and kernel you're running? I'm on Arch, 6.11.5-arch.
