[linux-dvb] Re: WANTED : KaxTV testers

[Soyeb Aswat <soyeb@btinternet.com>]

I get similar problems, where KaxTV will work for
various amounts of time and then inexplicably crash.

I've got a question, since xine-lib doesn't seem to
have dvb support, I imagine KaxTV handles all the DVB
stuff, leaving xine-lib to decode the mpeg stream.  If
this is the case then where does KaxTV get its DVB
interface definition from?  Could it be that KaxTV is
picking up my older DVB definitions from the kernel
source tree which are much older than the relatively
recent DVB drivers I'm using, and hence causing random
incompatibilities that result in crashes?

Could it be that I have no idea what I'm talking about
and writing far off topic?

Otherwise I think KaxTV is mega (except I can't use it
for very long).

Regards,

Soyeb
