Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.4.5) OS: Linux Before I start, I want to mention, that I am using Fedora 13, 64bit version. I try to search for TV channels in Kaffeine and only 4 appear (while there are over 30 on 32bit) and the searching operation stops at 0%. The radio signals are about 60% or greater. Then I added these four channels to the TV list and try to start a station by double clicking it. There is a very short audio sound and the video stream does not appear. Here is some code the terminal generated when I started kaffeine from there (line 8): received X error event: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) X Error: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) 8 Extension: 132 (Uknown extension) Minor opcode: 17 (Unknown request) Resource id: 0x3f KCrash: Application 'kaffeine-xbu' crashing... sock_file=/home/Jim/.kde/socket-localhost.localdomain/kdeinit4__0 Assertion 'pa_close(fds[0]) == 0' failed at pulsecore/core-util.c:2186, function pa_close_pipe(). Aborting. Unable to start Dr. Konqi kaffeine(2457) DvbDevice::frontendEvent: tuning failed Reproducible: Always
1) Pulse audio cannot interfere with DVB-T (because they run in two different processes - kaffeine-xbu <--> kaffeine). 2) You get different results for 32bit and 64bit (using the same kernel and kaffeine version?) when scanning for channels?? Can you please paste the terminal output of Kaffeine after a 'bad' scan (only 4 channels found)? 3) "KCrash: Application 'kaffeine-xbu' crashing..." this is a crash, you should get a drkonqi popup if you have kdebase-runtime installed
The Kaffeine version you're using is too old. We just released upstream a version 2.0.1, with is based on KDE5, and changed both the DVB and video play backends. Could you please test the upstream version and see if it works? The README file contains instructions about how to compile it. You can find it at our git repository: https://quickgit.kde.org/?p=kaffeine.git As this BZ is on an old version that we're not maintaining upstream anymore, I'm closing the bug. If you find similar issues with version 2.0.1, please re-open.
