TV card not detected with dvb-daemon 0.2.5

[FrenchNux]

Ubuntu 11.10 64b

Hi,
I installed gnome-daemon 0.2.5 ppa version, because totem-plugins-dvb doesn't work on oneiric bud tv card detected.
with PPA version, my tv card doesn't detect and i have some issues in terminal :

Thanks for reporting this issue.

Looks an issue with the encoding. Does gnome-dvb-setup work correctly (in standard and expert mode) or does a similar issue occur with it as well. You might also edit the references file DeviceGroupsView.py and add "print device.name" after line 63.

comment #3 is wrong

when i run gnome-dvb-setup :

- in normal mode : no error but my tv card not detected.
- in expert mode : no error and my tv card is detected

[Sebastian Pölsterl (sebp)]

This is a weird issue, since the byte 0xc2 would be "Â" in utf8 and I don't see where this comes from.

You could try dissecting the string on line 67 and 68 to find exactly the part that causes this issue.

exemple DeviceGroupsView.py modified :
            # translators: first is device's name, second its type
            text = _("<b>%s (%s)</b>\n") % (device.name, device.type)
     print "line n67", text
            text += "<small>%s</small>" % (_("Adapter: %d, Frontend: %d") % (device.adapter,
                device.frontend))
     print "line n68", text

Results:

Could you please open /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/gnomedvb/__init__.py and
change the line "_ = t.gettext" to"_ = t.ugettext". Check if that helps.

gnome-dvb-control works but same issue with scheduleview

The bug was fixed upstream. Together with the changes proposed here, everything should work as expected now.
