Why do you run with "--self-test"? This is meant for automated testing if the program runs only.

"ProgramsModel is neither a default constructible QObject, nor a default- and copy-constructible Q_GADGET, nor marked as uncreatable.
You should not use it as a QML type." is a warning which is already fixed but doesn't have any effect.

There's currently a know issue that the loading indication does not work but the update itself should be fine. Could you please check the Flatpak version (https://flathub.org/apps/org.kde.telly-skout) to see if it's maybe a packaging issue?

Hi,

I run it this way:

• rocketmouse@archlinux ~ 
$ grep Telly -B1 -A3 .config/fbpanel/lcd-realignment-alt 
    item {
      name = Telly Skout
      icon = org.kde.telly-skout
      action = telly-skout --title "TV Spielfilm" --geometry 1920x1024
    }

Telly-skout was updated on 2024-12-13. Some “k” packages were updated on 2024-12-14. If I remember correctly, it ran without problems on 2024-12-15, but I could be wrong.

No, I don't install Flatpaks as a matter of principle. But I can forward the problem to the Arch bug tracker.

Regards,
Ralf

PS: I only selected the test option because I assumed that it would run some kind of test.
I have reported it as a possible packaging issue: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/telly-skout/-/issues/1

> Telly-skout was updated on 2024-12-13. Some “k” packages were updated on 2024-12-14.

The change is the KDE Gear 24.12 release.

I've compiled the 24.12 release on Arch and cannot reproduce the error.

There is no doubt that telly-skout 24.12 also worked for me at the beginning. It is not the upgrade from telly-skout 24.08.3 to 24.12 that introduced the issue.

Clearing the cache doesn't solve the issue.

The only one from KDE that I use is Krita. I just want to test spectacle and telly-skout. I have a few other KDE apps installed, such as KDE Marble and KStars, but I'm not using those apps.
Krita and spectacle are still working without issues. Spectacle is also version 24.12.

cause and workaround

Hi,

I have just been able to find the cause of the problem. Changing the delete and prefetch duration fixed the problem. The old settings never enabled an extended review or an extended preview, but they did not cause any problems, see screenshot "cause and workaround".

Regards,
Ralf

Does the problem occur again if you change back the delete and prefetch duration?

After setting back to delete after 2 days and prefetch 5 days, everything is still fine, even after restarting Telly Scout. I'll keep these settings and we'll see what happens after 2 or 5 days when I report back.

A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/utilities/telly-skout/-/merge_requests/183

The description in the merge request sounds very likely to be the cause.

FWIW everything seems to be ok, except that no 5 days are prefetched and the day ends before 0 o'clock. The "iApp"  of TV Spielfilm does also not show several days in advance, but the preview does not end on the same day before 0 o'clock, but on the following day before 5 o'clock.

"Favorites" page: add refetch button

If something goes wrong while fetching the programs, the fetcher might believe that all programs have been fetched already even though this is not the case.

Add a button to force a "refetch" (i.e. delete all fetched programs, and program descriptions and fetch again).

Hi,

thank you for your efforts. Before I add another issue, I'll stick with the “Refresh” version for a while. FWIW the dirty PKGBUILD below has a freakish pkgver and telly-scout's version is also a little bit freakish. It's just a cheap modified version of the official Arch package. It's good enough for me.

I'll stick with the "Refetch" version, not a "Refresh" version for a while ;).
