Totem plugin: DVB not working due to problem in dvb-daemon.py
Last modified: 2014-05-25 18:31:06 UTC
I could successfully configure the device through the plugin but the menu entry for viewing a channel is not there. Debug output of totem shows: Failed activating DVB DBus service 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'set_image' Traceback (most recent call last):
+ Trace 232575
self._configure_mode()
self.single_group = self.channels[group_iter][self.channels.COL_GROUP]
aiter = self._getiter(key)
aiter = self.get_iter(key)
path = self._coerce_path(path)
return TreePath(path)
path = ":".join(str(val) for val in path)
Commenting line 461 in dvb-daemon.py solves the problem.
Ran into same problem on F19, 3.11.4-201.fc19.x86_64, Totem 3.8.2.
I can confirm this since Fedora 18.
Created attachment 269225 [details] [review] patch proposed by Fedora user Blonďák in rhbz 920962 The bug was also reported in the Fedora bug tracker: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=920962 Fedora user Blonďák proposed a patch in the rhbz which solves the problem for me. From looking at the code I'm not sure if "watch_item" is supposed to be None (or if the real fix is more subtle) but the patch resolves the issue and enables me to watch DVB-T.
just for completeness: Ubuntu bug is https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-dvb-daemon/+bug/1202768
This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
