Description Sebastian Reichel 2007-01-07 18:48:09 UTC 
I would wish me better DVB support in Totem. It would be nice to have an additional list to the "Playlist" in which all TV channels are. Furthermore there should should be a function for record by a button and via a timer. Then a feature for viewing the EPG of DVB card would be nice too.
Perhaps you can get some help from the Kaffeine project. At the moment Kaffeine is the most comfortable DVB viewer ;)

See bug 358147. I don't have access to any DVB hardware (hint, my Amazon wishlist has one :), but the steps mentioned in the other bug still apply.

ah - I didn't saw this bug :/ If you need somebody to test some code just send me an mail :) I've got an DVB-S and an DVB-T card.

totem-dvb-1.patch

As long as ~/.xine/channels.conf exists, and is working, "totem dvb:" works using that code.

I'm just writing a daemon for DVB recording with DBus Communication. Additionally it will handle some other DVB things, like channel list usw.. I'll ask for support in _all_ players, then. I hope this will make DVB more easy. In 1.0 my daemon will be able to:

 1. manage channel and dvb card infos automatically and global
 2. provide EPG as XML
 3. provide record timers

When I finished the daemon and the terminal client (Could be usefull via ssh :) ) I'll look for adding DVB support via my daemon in totem. I think it won't be very hard then, because I just have to make somethink like a static additionally playlist for DVB and a new menu entry :)

what do you think of this?

There's now menu items, but no scanner yet. Tracker bug for DVB at bug 515764.
