[linux-dvb] Re: KaxTV : feedback needed

Hi,

I gave it a try.


> libxine-1.rc3 installed in /usr/local
Well, I changed it to /usr/lib, so that it compiled on my gentoo. :-)

> - scan : click on the green TV button.
Uhm, could you tell me where that button is? I can't find it. When I
select Play-dvb, it shows me the first channel I have in channels.conf
(form .xine, I guess). I can't switch it though, or I dunno how. If I
press the "channels" button if says unknown dvb. (I have a Technisat
Skystar 2 Rev 2.3, which works fine with xine and vdr.)

When I press the OSD button while watching dvb it crashes.

Wehn I exit kaxtv, it crashes (same does kaffeine).

> - view live : double click on a channel name in the list.
couldn't test it due to above.

I didn't properly test timeshifting as waiting two seconds it didn't
prperly work. First it played the timeshifted signal and after a few
seconds (maybe when buffer was empty) it went to live signal thus
skipping what was in between.

Technisat Skystar 2 Rev 2.3 dvb-s on astra 19° (can also test hotbird
13° and astra 28°/Eurobird)

the one in kernel: dmesg gives:
drivers/media/dvb/b2c2/skystar2.c: FlexCopII(rev.130) chip found
drivers/media/dvb/b2c2/skystar2.c: the chip has 6 hardware filters
driver_initialize MAC address = ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:00:00
DVB: registering new adapter (Technisat SkyStar2 driver).
DVB: registering frontend 0:0 (Zarlink MT312)...


Maybe my cflags are too aggressive, but I couldn't make kaffeine not to
crash on exit. Otherwise I have no troubles with other apps (well xine
sometimes hangs if I simply close it while watching dvb. Pressing stop
before exit prevents it.):

CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O2 -pipe -ffast-math  -falign-functions=16
