There is no direct support for SDRPlay in gnuradio. You need gr-osmosdr. You can go 2 ways:

1. Direct SDRPlay support in gr-osmosdr: You have to build gr-osmosdr from source and enable the NON_FREE drivers. Not recommended, since the SDRPlay support in gr-osmosdr is rather incomplete and there seems to be no development activity.

2. Indirect support via soapysdr. This uses the soapysdr driver in gr-osmosdr and requires soapysdr and soapysdrplay to be installed. I think you get this when you install the SDRPlay API driver. I would recommend this way.

But also here the SDRPlay support is far from complete. So I have my own modified versions of gr-osmosdr and sopysdr/soapysdrplay with a number of modifications which make it quite usable with gqrx (which is based on gnuradio).#
