Any release junkies around who use "szap" for their DVB-S cards? I had a look at some of my old projects these days. (being without a job gave a good opportunity). At some time I had started a little dvb lib, but actually gone over to use pygtk to build an applet that would wrap "szap" and a video viewer. Just for convenience so that I would stop from running a dozen terminals to handle the dvb cards. So, now the pygtk applet is ported to pure C gtk. It docks into the gnome panel showing a combo box with the channels.conf entries. And it runs szap in the background. That's pretty much all it does but it did allow me to track down problems better while keeping the tools as separate ones. And I did always have problems with atleast one of my dvb cards /sigh/ Anyway, if you dare to try, have a look at http://dvbzap.sf.net/dvbszap-combo-applet.html Running `rpmbuild -ta dvbzap-0.3.10.tar.bz2` on a suse linux system will create good rpm files that can be installed/deleted easily. And remember to login/logout to activate the bonobo server files needed for such applets.
