Description Juhani Jaakola 2010-06-09 20:57:19 UTC
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.4.3) 
OS:                Linux

In Finland all EPG entries are broadcast in two languages, Finnish and Swedish. When I look at the Program Guide in Kaffeine, sometimes it shows the Finnish version and sometimes it shows the Swedish version.

I would like to see only the Finnish version of the EPG. Please add a feature which allows filtering EPG data by language.

All set top boxes which are sold here in Finland know how to pick the correct language version of EPG data. That's why I consider this a bug.

I'm using kaffeine-1.0-1.fc13.i686. The same issue bothered me with earlier versions as well, such as the good old 0.8.7.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Look at the EPG in Finland

Actual Results:  
Mixed Swedish and Finnish language entries in EPG

Expected Results:  
Only Finnish version should be shown

Kaffeine 0.8.7 displays both the Finnish and Swedish versions of the EPG text. But sometimes the Finnish is shown first and then the Swedish version, and sometimes vice versa.

Kaffeine 1.0 displays only the Finnish text *OR* the Swedish text, but not both. The choise of the language seems to be random.

In the original bug description I was missing a filter on the language of the EPG text. Another solution would be to present each language version in their own entries (rows) in the EPG list and add a column for the language, and then sort the EPG rows by the language column. Would that be easier to implement?

Still exists in Kaffeie 1.2.2..
Comment 3 Jarno Suni 2013-07-21 12:11:42 UTC
As for Kaffeine 1.2.2, also text in OSD may be in wrong language. And on EGP, sometimes there may be two rows for the same program, one in Swedish and one in Finnish, sometimes there is only one row for the program by other language that may be undesired. EGP language should be selectable in Configure Television dialog. User's selection should be respected in OSD and EGP, when possible.

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.
