Description Gerold Jens Wucherpfennig 2012-12-12 20:15:19 UTC

Please separate the TV (DVB-T/S) functionality from the Video Player functionality into 2 different apps.
They could share a shared library. Kaffeine is difficult to configure and use for average users.
Also Kaffeine cannot use multiple Video Player instances. This can be solved with the 2 apps.


Reproducible: Always

This bug is too old, for a version < 1.3. Closing it, as the latest version is 2.0.1, and lots of things changed since version 1.2.x, including the usage of VLC as video display backend, support for DVB-T2 and ISDB-T via libVLC, etc.

You may check on the upstream version and see if the bug was solved. The README file contains instructions about how to compile it. You can find it at our git repository:

If you find similar issues with version 2.0.1, please re-open.
