The current Archlinux version I use is 2.0.3-1 and I've tried with recent builds of git://anongit.kde.org/kaffeine.git Whereas Program Guide worked well for some years with my hardware, it's empty in kaffeine 2. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open kaffeine to the digital tv module. 2. Play a channel, or many channels, all of which used to display EPG data in Program Guide 3. Open guide from menu bar: Television -> Program Guide Actual Results: Program guide is empty. Expected Results: The Program Guide was always populated with program information for the channels I had played (those who provided EPG data, virtually all that I tune). The Program Guide has worked for me for several years with the same hardware in kaffeine, up to kaffeine-1.2.2-6.mga5 in Mageia 5, currently. Tuner is Hauppauge HVR-2250 dual tuner pci-e card receiving ATSC OTA signal from an outdoor antenna. Optionally, I can use my HDHomeRun HDTC-2US tuner and the latest kaffeine has the same limited functionality. Mauro asked for a minute of recording but I can't figure out how to use dvbv5-zap. In case a recording made from the kaffeine gui can be used, I put one on google drive: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8GNdkp3znc2WDYxOEVPSWRETk0 [rolf@p8z68 recordings]$ md5sum 002-1\ KTVU-HD-071124.m2t ef510b1803178b3089838ab01c68a2a5 002-1 KTVU-HD-071124.m2t Thanks.
Created attachment 99739 [details] output when kaffeine started in konsole I've noticed some messages about DvbEpgModel related to kaffeine and a few seconds of running kaffeine from konsole shows many.

Feel free to ping me at #linuxtv channel at freenode.net. Maybe I can help you to record using dvbv5-zap.
I was able to find some bugs at the MGT and EIT parsing. Those are fixed at the git tree. However, the only streams I had to test are some old records I made in 2014 in South Korea. The EPG entries are all expired, so I had to hack the code to display, as the code checks if the entries are expired before inserting. It also flushes the old entries that got expired, making hard to debug. It would be really helpful to get a recent stream. Anyway, please test the upstream git tree, as this bug should have been fixed there.
Fixed on this changeset and on the subsequent ones: http://quickgit.kde.org/?p=kaffeine.git&a=commit&h=0ecdac74596755c1645da9acdb27e29e33be0d99

Anyway, please test the > upstream git tree, as this bug should have been fixed there. I've been at work all day. When I got home, I cloned and built from git://anongit.kde.org/kaffeine If I got the right thing, it's worse than before, for me. After a channel scan, most are listed like: Channel Number #0 321:6 27 #0 377:5 26 Some are listed like: Channel Number 026-1 26 San Francisco, CA 4 which is the old style but only a couple channels display info in Program Guide and they have this form in the list, afaict. I did blunder onto a productive dvbv5-scan command: dvbv5-scan -O ZAP -C US -I channel us-ATSC-center-frequencies-8VSB which gave me dvb-channel.conf then dvbv5-zap -c dvb_channel.conf -I ZAP -t 60 -o atsc.m2t KTVU-HD so it worked when channel, not frequency, was given. For some reason, files created like this won't play for me in my default vlc, nor kaffeine. They play in smplayer. Here is one from dvbv5-zap: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8GNdkp3znc2U1pZRkxwaEIwM0E [rolf@p8z68 arch]$ md5sum atsc1.m2t b2458ed54c46616e28fb5d9b2099393c atsc1.m2t Please, give it a look, as the latest kaffeine I can find from git is unworkable. Now, I can't even manually schedule a recording as the channels are not identifiable, many are not tuned. FWIW, here's the clean-looking content of the ZAP dvb_channel.conf with nearly all my tunable channels present: KNTV HD:207028615:8VSB:49:52:3 COZI-TV:207028615:8VSB:65:68:4 KSTS HD:207028615:8VSB:81:84:5 KCBA-DT:213028615:8VSB:49:52:3 KOFY-HD:503028615:8VSB:49:52:3 MeTV-SD:503028615:8VSB:81:84:5 VIETTV:503028615:8VSB:97:100:6 ThisTV:503028615:8VSB:113:116:7 KQET-HD:539028615:8VSB:49:51:1 KQED+:539028615:8VSB:65:67:2 V-me:539028615:8VSB:81:83:3 KTSF-D1:551028615:8VSB:49:52:3 KTSF-D2:551028615:8VSB:65:68:4 KTSF-D3:551028615:8VSB:81:84:5 KTSF-D5:551028615:8VSB:113:116:7 KTSF-D6:551028615:8VSB:129:132:8 KFTL-CD:557028615:8VSB:97:100:1 HSN:557028615:8VSB:65:69:2 CMC-TV:557028615:8VSB:49:52:3 KPIX-TV:563028615:8VSB:49:52:1 Decades:563028615:8VSB:65:68:2 KQED-HD:569028615:8VSB:49:51:1 KQED+:569028615:8VSB:65:67:2 WORLD:569028615:8VSB:81:83:3 KEMO-HD:581028615:8VSB:49:52:3 QVC-OTA:581028615:8VSB:65:68:4 QVCPLUS:581028615:8VSB:81:84:5 EVINE:581028615:8VSB:97:100:6 KMTP-DT:587028615:8VSB:49:52:3 WorldCh:587028615:8VSB:65:68:4 WTV:587028615:8VSB:81:84:5 NTD:587028615:8VSB:97:100:6 KPOP:587028615:8VSB:113:116:7 KFSF-HD:593028615:8VSB:49:52:1 KDTV-HD:593028615:8VSB:65:68:2 Bounce :593028615:8VSB:81:84:3 Grit :593028615:8VSB:97:100:4 KICU-HD:605028615:8VSB:49:52:3 KICU-SD:605028615:8VSB:65:68:4 KICUSD2:605028615:8VSB:81:84:5 KICUSD3:605028615:8VSB:97:100:6 KRON-HD:617028615:8VSB:65:68:4 SKYLINK:617028615:8VSB:49:52:3 GET TV:617028615:8VSB:81:84:5 MMAX:623028615:8VSB:49:52:1 Sino TV:623028615:8VSB:65:68:2 KTNC:623028615:8VSB:81:84:3 Comet:623028615:8VSB:97:100:4 NTD:623028615:8VSB:113:116:5 Works:623028615:8VSB:129:132:6 ION:635028615:8VSB:49:52:3 qubo:635028615:8VSB:65:68:4 IONLife:635028615:8VSB:81:84:5 Shop:635028615:8VSB:97:100:6 HSN:635028615:8VSB:113:116:7 QVC:635028615:8VSB:129:132:8 KCSM:647028615:8VSB:49:52:3 KCSMF24:647028615:8VSB:65:68:4 Jazz-TV:647028615:8VSB:81:84:5 KTVU-HD:653028615:8VSB:49:52:3 LATV:653028615:8VSB:65:68:4 Movies!:653028615:8VSB:81:84:5 Buzzr:653028615:8VSB:97:100:6 KBCW-DT:659028615:8VSB:49:52:1 KQED+:689028615:8VSB:49:51:1 KQED:689028615:8VSB:65:67:2 LIFE:689028615:8VSB:81:83:3 KIDS:689028615:8VSB:97:99:4 V-me:689028615:8VSB:113:115:5 KDTV-HD:695028615:8VSB:49:52:1 KFSF-HD:695028615:8VSB:65:68:2 getTV :695028615:8VSB:81:84:3 Escape :695028615:8VSB:97:100:4 Thanks.

Channel names are stored at the VCT table, with is handled on a different part of the Kaffeine's code. > I did blunder onto a productive dvbv5-scan command: > > dvbv5-scan -O ZAP -C US -I channel us-ATSC-center-frequencies-8VSB > > which gave me dvb-channel.conf > > then > > dvbv5-zap -c dvb_channel.conf -I ZAP -t 60 -o atsc.m2t KTVU-HD > > so it worked when channel, not frequency, was given. Ah, there's one parameter missing there: "-P". (or " --all-pids"). When this parameter is used, dvbv5-zap records the full content of the stream and accepts both frequency or channel. So, it can work with the frequency tables file directly. So, please take another record with: dvbv5-zap -c dvb_channel.conf -I ZAP -t 60 -o atsc.m2t -P KTVU-HD or: dvbv5-zap -I channel -c us-ATSC-center-frequencies-8VSB -t 60 -o atsc.m2t -P 653028615 (if you're using the channel file with the legacy formats) > FWIW, here's the clean-looking content of the ZAP dvb_channel.conf with > nearly all my tunable channels present: Thanks! I'll use it to compare it with the VCT parser at Kaffeine once you make me available the all-pids record.

I was able to detect and fix the remaining bugs. There was indeed a regression at the VCT table parsing, with were causing troubles at the channel naming.

Good job! Can I install the git build to /home or somewhere on my Archlinux installation, including separate configuration files, e.g. with same function but not touching ~/.local/share/kaffeine/*? I am missing my desired recordings switching back and forth from testing to the mostly working kaffeine 2.0.3-1 and would like to have parallel installations with separate functionality. I will have time for this after work, today. Thanks.
I don't know if this is best practice but I did a pull, cmake, and make. Then, I start kaffeine from the src/ directory without installing. That seemed to pick up my legacy working configuration, including custom scanfile.dvb. Beautiful! After a scan, the channels are all described perfectly and, after playing, EPG program information is displayed in the Program Guide, up to Saturday afternoon on Channel 2. I can record from the Program Guide. Currently, I am recording on both tuners at the same time different programs to separate files on the NAS. To be sure, I uninstalled Archlinux kaffeine-2.0.3-1 and did make install. Everything remains configured and working well. I'm making two recordings of different channels at the same time. Looks like a winner! Thanks very much.

guide worked fine on mint 17-18.3 but not on mint 19 (beta)
