Requesting Kaffeine 0.6 ebuilds ASAP, the new version includes DVB support (merged from KaxTV project - so at the same time, KaxTV ebuilds could be removed from the tree).
KaxTV isn't in the tree yet, the request is still pending. Are you sure it won't be developed independently anymore?
I'm sure: http://hftom.club.fr/kaxtv/download.html - directly from the KaxTV dev. And yeah, you're right about Kaxtv, maybe that request should be set to WONTFIX :)
jo. ASAP please! ;-)
Added to portage. I don't think any of us has a card to test DVB support, please report if you notice something really wrong with it.
Hello, I am using Kaffeine CVS with my Skystar 2 DVB card. It works nicely! It does hang with encrypted channels though.
Everythink works after some changes: First, from kernel docs: Documentation/dvb/udev.txt So, create a new file /etc/udev/scripts/dvb.sh and add the following: --- #!/bin/sh /bin/echo $1 | /bin/sed -e 's,dvb\([0-9]\)\.\([^0-9]*\)\([0-9]\),dvb/adapter\1/\2\3,' --- And Create a new rule file in that directory called "dvb.rule" and add the following line: ------------------------------schnipp------------------------------------------- KERNEL="dvb*", PROGRAM="/etc/udev/scripts/dvb.sh %k", NAME="%c" ------------------------------schnipp------------------------------------------- In addition to this, I have to fix the permissions. Right now only root has access to DVB devices. "Video" group would probably be appropriate. (Yeah, this is more generic DVB stuff, but...)
Fixing the udev permissions for dvb devices is very easy, too. You need to create a file in /etc/udev/permissions.d, for example 10-dvb.permissions and add the following: ---snip--- # dvb dvb*:root:video:0660 ---snip--- Maybe this should be merged into 50-udev.permissions? Can someone please forward this info to the appropriate group/person responsible for udev or dvb in Gentoo?
Please open a new bug for dvb permissions, they aren't strictly kaffeine-related, but they are needed for every program.
It was already done in bug 70816. udev-054 already has this rule: # dvb devices KERNEL="dvb*", PROGRAM="/etc/udev/scripts/dvb.sh %k", NAME="%c", GROUP="video", MODE="0660"
Good. For the record, I'm using Hauppauge WinTV Nova USB. It required a firmware placing into /lib/firmware (instructions and script that fetches the fw from net in linux DVB docs), but besides the udev changes, no problems at all.
