[Kaffeine-user] Kaffeine needs KAXTV installed to work.

[Q <ra...@fa...>]

Hi this is a bug I have repeated twice now. If I install Kaffeine 0.6 
and try to tune to any DVB channels using my WinTV Nova-T DVB card it 
will not work and Kaffeine refuses to tune.

However if I install kaxtv from this repository 
http://people.debian.org/~hamish/kaxtv/ version 0.23.2-0.1 (I need to 
force it to overwrite what seems to be some .png buttons and controls 
shared by it and Kaffeine) once I do this Kaffeine will now tune into 
all my DVB channels without difficulty.

Having, as I said, confirmed this twice now, I can only assume that the 
KAXTV package repairs or replaces something that is broken in Kaffeine 
in regard to DVB functionality.

It might be worth noting that there is no need for me to tune kaxtv in 
order for this work around to work.

Also Kaffeine is missing some of my channels during the tuning process. 
Using the official DVB tools it is possible for me to specify that an 
extended scan is required. This takes much longer, but is generally 
always successful at finding all available channels.

If you require any further info, feel free to contact me directly at 
this address.

Unfortunately I can't subscribe to the list as I am a little overwhelmed 
by my current subscriptions to other lists.

BTW Kaffeine rocks -  and I really hope you fix this bug in the next 
version.

Two things I would like to see in a future version are skinning (like 
Xine) and direct recording DVB to a format playable on most commercial 
DVD players.

Keep up the great work!
