[Fedora (fedora-redhat-bugs)]

This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora
'version' of '18'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be
able to fix it before Fedora 18 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior to Fedora 18's end of life.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Fedora 18 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2014-01-14. Fedora 18 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

> For me helps following: (...)

I can confirm that this bug exists in F20 and Blonďák's patch resolves the issue.

The bug was reported upstream as
  Totem plugin: DVB not working due to problem in dvb-daemon.py
  https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=709483
but does not have any "official" solution though another reporter indicated that commenting line 461 removes the bug as well.

The upstream git repository does not have any official bug fix (watch_item line is unchanged since 2009 / git revision 8aafc4f8).

[Ville (ville-redhat-bugs)]

Blonďák's patch is now in upstream git:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-dvb-daemon/commit/?id=76bf99c3f7faf31f4cc563a8002f70d9012cf22f
