SUMMARY All channels missing in scan result, new scan brings nothing or only few channels STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Scan channels 2. add some of them from scan result to your channel list 3. remove some from your own channel list OBSERVED RESULT channels from scanlist are gone, new scan brings no channel or only a few EXPECTED RESULT all channels in scan list, independent of add/remove at channel list SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS PcLinuxOS Release 2019 64-bit Kernel Linux 4.16.13-pclos1 x86_64 MATE 1.20.4
i can't reproduce this one, but i'm not in pclinux Try checking $HOME/.local/share/kaffeine/ , to see if you have the sqlite.db and correct permissions and try to edit it with sqlite

Now by going through the tree by mouse or in terminal, have found it. Thank you. I will try fix the DB as soon as I fixed another problem here, then I report if it worked

After trying repait without success, I killed kaffeine plus killed database. After re-install all seemed fine...till i closed kaffeine and restarted. Then again scan could only find a few channels.

Channels are saved at mySql database when Kaffeine quits without errors. I found a few issues on Kaffeine's exit code that got fixed after 2.0.16. Basically, using the (x) button of Kaffeine was doing something different than Ctrl-Q or "File" -> "Exit". This could explain the issues you're facing. Could you please test it from git tree, where such issue got solved?

Yes I know the problem with (x), so I quit over programme exit or rightclick at symbol in task bar, selecting quit to exit. So this is not my problem. And no...both my linux and my english knowledge are not good enough to exactly understand what you mean with git tree solving

And run it from the git tree, instead of installing, with: $ src/kaffeine (you may also install, if you want - install instructions are also at the README.md file)
(In reply to Mauro Carvalho Chehab from comment #11) > And run it from the git tree, instead of installing, with: > > $ src/kaffeine > > (you may also install, if you want - install instructions are also at the > README.md file) sorry, did not work in any. Also Re-install with newest version of both PC-LinuxOS and kaffeine did not work. I hope I find some time to test again this month
ok, following works: do not start TV, or quitting it by maybe select "play audio CD" without having any CD inside. Then select "channels" from upper menue bar and scan there. It just can not read, scan, add or delete channels, when TV is running (streaming). I did not test /look at following yet: - Is it possible to select TV from side bar without having one channel automatically started - if no channel running eventhough being in TV mode, is it possible to scan again from channel selector at lower left corner (channel symbol under channel list)

If you have just one TV device, you cannot scan for new channels while TV is streaming or recording. If you try to do so, it will scan *just* the transponder you're using (with may have some changes - specially if you're using DVB-C). This is really a hardware issue: as you have just one tuner, you can be tuning a single transponder at a given time. FYI, transponder is the name we give to the physical channel the device is tuning - with may have multiple "logical channels" inside it (actually the spec call those as "programs")
