Thanks all for your feedback. I've been investigating the Xen angle as well and there seem to be quite a few reports of DVB cards not working in Xen at the moment. The culprit "appears" to be something to do with DMA, although whether it's Xen or the drivers remains to be seen . >From what I can tell, the card tunes OK but then when the driver tries to access the datastream (via DMA) things go bad. If anyone knows of a good way to look deeper into this area - please let me know! Anyway, I'm going to go and hassle the Xen developers to see if they can shed some more light on this. I'll also have a play with vlc. > > Try mplayer (or VLC) directly. > Kaffeine uses a pipe from mplayer. > I use VLC to open my channels.conf (I forget which file format, mplayer format?) which works. > Mplayer doesn't work very well on my system but vlc does. > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in > the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html > -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
