Version: 0.8.6 rel 72.6 (using KDE 3.5.7) Installed from: SuSE RPMsSuSE RPMs OS: Linux I have over 100 TV channels our from cable. Most of them are pay TV, and I do not have access to them. But there are several free TVs. When I try to look EPG, it shows only 10 channels (from which 5 is TV channels) list. Not others. I live in Finland, TTV is my cable provider.
Created attachment 23827 [details] Picture from Kaffeine EPG on This is snapshot from Kaffeine, where I have running program underneath EPG. EPG shows only few channels in list, not others than provider YLE.
I'm running Fedora 8 with a DVB-C card. Kaffeine 0.8.5 finds the EPG data OK, but Kaffeine 0.8.6 only finds a few channels EPG data out of about a 100 channels, see the attached files.

Please, post your channels.dvb
Created attachment 23923 [details] channels.dvb file as requested This is my current channels.dvb file. Hopefully this helps :) Anything else that I could do to help in this case?
yes, delete all channels and rescan.

I removed all channels and rescanned them and now the EPG data seems to be as it should. Thank you for this hint. Why would the video and audio streams work OK after an 0.8.5 -> 0.8.6 upgrade but the EPG data would not work without deleting all channels and rescanning?
Created attachment 23937 [details] channels.dvb Here is my channels.dvb - no luck in epg after rescanning channels. Same problem than before, only YLE channels have EPG information, no others have. Any next proposal to be tested?

I added two files, EPG data, and channels.dvb. I changed network ID to 1100 for few channels, and due to that I started to get EPG data from missing channels. Data is not perfect, unfortunately. I do not know, if this helps at all to clarify this bug, but at least something have been found.

As i said previously, delete all channels and rescan (with 0.8.6)
I already did that a few times (at least 5 times without success). It is now working (not fully) to some channels, but only due to fact that I manually added network ID. After that I have not deleted channels, and I cannot do it in near future (hopefully I find time during weekend). I will try it again (for the sixth time)...
Delete & rescan does not help.
What are the Network ID of non-working-epg channels?
I have the same problem on ubuntu 8.04, Kaffeine 0.8.6, Finland. Delete & rescan did not help. Network ID (no idea what it does) of the all non-working-epg channels is 0. After changing it to 1100 as Kari I get epg working for at least some channels.
I deleted again all channels, closed and restarted Kaffeine, scanned all channels (100+, mostly protected) and no EPG data anywhere else than in YLE channels. Network ID were 0 for all channels that were non-working. When I changed to 1100 to MTV3 and Nelonen (Finnish channels), I got EPG working for those channels. Earlier same procedure helped also to MTV (Music TV), BBC World etc. free channels. One additional thing that I remembered last weekend when I was entering Logitech USB webcam to Linux - I have compiled mantis support to my PC. The openSUSE (10.3) that I use, does not support Mantis driver, and I have made sort of "ugly patch", where I just compile necessary module, and install it into use. Could this cause any problem in my case? I think this does not apply to all, therefore I think it is not in Mantis-module. I got mantis from here: http://www.jusst.de/hg/mantis/ and some infromation from here: http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2008-March/024301.html I have older version because latest were not working in my machine. (package was mantis-a9ecd19a37c9.tar.bz2 if I remember correctly)
Ok, the problem is NID==0. As a workaround, edit the file kaffeine/src/input/dvb/plugins/epg/kaffeinedvbevents.cpp and comment out lines 174 to 177 : //if ( nid==0) { // mutex.unlock(); // return 0; //} If not yet done, delete all channels and rescan with 0.8.6 before.
Above patch works OK. EPG is now functional again. Thank you.
Hi, I am not able to verify due I do not have source files (for some reason). But I trust that this corrects the bug, and I will mark as RESOLVED. Thank you Christophe br, Kari
I just installed a fresh 0.8.7 (Ubuntu 8.10 backport) and this issue is still unresolved. I had to manually change the network id to 1100 in order get EPG working on any channel that uses network id 0 for EPG.
