From here on a combination of:
    tzap -r channel and
    xine -D -B -A esd stdin://mpeg2 < /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0
give tv reception. However I would like to use Kaffeine to watch tv ( zap, schedule recordings, ... )

So tuning seems fine, but the "DMX SET PES FILTER" is missing. Is this something implemented in v4l, or kernel, or ... ?
It worked flawnless in Dapper, but failed since Edgy ( If I recall correctly ).

I'm able to watch dvb-t with the Klear program, so it is less likely that something external to Kaffeine is causing it to fail ?

[Stéphane Loeuillet (leroutier)]

This define comes from DVB API in the kernel

The problem is more likely that Kaffeine tries to use this ioctl on non-existing devices :
/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0 : opened ( TechnoTrend/Hauppauge DEC2000-t Frontend )
/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend1 : : No such file or directory
/dev/dvb/adapter1/frontend0 : : No such file or directory
DvbCam::probe(): /dev/dvb/adapter0/ca0: : No such file or directory

As you see, it already tried to open 3 non existant devices.
I suppose that later it tried to use this ioctl on one of those and failed

[mr.goose (editor-garfnet)]

So how does one stop Kaffeine using an ioctl on non existent devices?

Interestingly I have a Peak DVB-T stick using the "dvb-usb-wt220u-zl0353-01.fw" firmware and that works great on Kaffeine.

But I can't get my DEC2000-T to play on Kaffeiine or Klear. (though it will tune on Kaffeine). But I can get sound only on the DEC2000-t using GXine, if I wait a few minutes.

Best wishes, G

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10 beta?

Still the error
DMX SET PES FILTER: Function not implemented
in Jaunty 9.04 ( didn't work in 8.10 either, but then that had a working Klear alternative for this dvb-t device ;-] )
