It finds all the physical channels, quite happily describes all the virtual channels in the T1 channels, fails to find anything in one of the T2 channels and finds unnamed channels in the other T2 channel. The device itself is fine, as it gets all T1 and T2 channels on Windows. This implies something awry with it in a Linux context. > Try distro install or searching for it.

The idea is not to have MythTV, Kodi, etc. which are intended to be media centres. I just want a television window with EPG. Original Me TV was GTK+2, Xine, DVBv3 with direct access to the kernel API. I am rewriting for libdvbv5, GStreamer, GTK+3. I am starting with scan and tune codes so as to set up dvr0 as the input source for the rendering. dvbv5-zap -p is an experimental tool to plug into a gst-launcher-1.0 script just to trial things. My code has the same problems dvbv5-zap has, describing my problem in terms of dvbv5-zap behaviour just means it isn't my code that is wrong, there is an issue somewhere in the libdvbv5 code or the device driver. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.winder@xxxxxxxxx 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: russel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
