Teratec Cinergy T only shows black screen in Totem

[Andreas Schildbach]

Binary package hint: totem

I tried installing a Teratec Cinergy DVB-T USB2 adapter on a Dell Latitude with Hardy installed. It is detected by the kernel and Totem, however if I select a channel from the channel list, it only shows a black picture and no sound. Also, the radio stations do not emit any sound.

(I have generated a channel list via w_scan as described in http://www.edafe.org/vdr/wscan.html)

Here is how the device is detected:

[ 2758.118061] usb 5-1: USB disconnect, address 5
[ 2758.623740] usb 5-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 8
[ 2758.662940] usb 5-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
[ 2758.670035] DVB: registering new adapter (TerraTec/qanu USB2.0 Highspeed DVB-T Receiver)
[ 2758.670744] input: TerraTec/qanu USB2.0 Highspeed DVB-T Receiver remote control as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb5/5-1/input/input12

thanks for the report, can you make it work with another software? I'm sorry but i don't have any hardware to test with, thanks.

What software could I possibly try? AFAIK there is only one Linux driver, and that one is contained in the kernel.

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

 I've no idea what software you can try as said i don't have such device to try and please don't re open bugs to ask such questions a BTS is not for that.

[Andreas Schildbach (schildbach)]

But the bug is still valid! Just because you haven't got the device doesn't mean this bug is invalid.

The answer to your question is: No.

Thus, I am reopening the bug as per comment by Pedro.

...sorry, I meant "as per your second comment"

Hi all,

I can confirm this bug too. The cinergy terratec T2 works perfectly with kaffeine but in totem shows only a black screen (and its blue led is always off ).

Thanks

Enrico

Nice Enrico, may you guys send this upstream at bugzilla.gnome.org? i don't have the card so can't do tests, for forwarding instructions please have a look to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME ; thanks in advance.

Last comment from upstream:
>>>
Totem 2.30.0 now uses gnome-dvb-daemon to get DVB support, which should work
better than the builtin support we had before.
<<<
Therefore I am closing this bug. If this is still an issue for you with Ubuntu 10.04, please open a new bug.
