Totem can't play digital tv: A DVB protocol source plugin is required
Last modified: 2009-07-26 13:05:38 UTC
Please describe the problem: I've upgraded to Fedora 11, and I'm trying to see digital tv (DVB-S). Works in Kaffeine, except a detail: Zoom doesn't work properly (see bug report at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=506852#c6). So I'm trying to see digital tv in Totem, but it doesn't work. I've generated the channels.conf file with w_scan (with "-X" option), and copied it to ~/.xine/, and I've installed all required packets (from Fedora and from RPMfusion): totem-xine-2.26.2-1.fc11.i586 gstreamer-plugins-bad-0.10.13-3.fc11.i586 ... (probably more, I can't remember) If I run totem from command line, and select the dvb card at totem menus, this is the output: $ totem ** Message: Error: A DVB protocol source plugin is required to play this stream, but not installed. gstplaybasebin.c(1691): gen_source_element (): /GstPlayBin:play: No URI handler for dvb ** Message: Missing plugin: gstreamer|0.10|totem|DVB protocol source |urisource-dvb (DVB protocol source) ** Message: PackageKit: xid = 56623107 ** Message: PackageKit: Codec nice name: DVB protocol source ** Message: PackageKit: non-structure: gstreamer0.10(urisource-dvb) ** Message: PackageKit: Did not install codec: The name org.freedesktop.PackageKit was not provided by any .service files ** Message: No installation candidate for missing plugins found. ** Message: Error: A DVB protocol source plugin is required to play this stream, but not installed. gstplaybasebin.c(1691): gen_source_element (): /GstPlayBin:play: No URI handler for dvb ** Message: Missing plugin: gstreamer|0.10|totem|DVB protocol source |urisource-dvb (ignoring) ** Message: All missing plugins are blacklisted, doing nothing $ No channel list is shown. Only an error window is shown, with similar information about the missing DVB protocol source plugin. No PackageKit window is opened, so probably no aditional packets are required. Bug 566428 is probably related, but that is reported for the "gst-plugins-bad" component, and last comment in that thread says that probably the bug hasn't to be fixed in that component. So I'm opening a new bug at "Totem" component. Steps to reproduce: Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time? Other information:
Bug update: I've updated Fedora, run Totem, clicked on Movie > Watch TV on 'DVB Adapter 0', and then a PackageKit window is opened, asking to search for a "DVB protocol source" complement. After clicking on "Search" button, another PackageKit window is opened, asking to install this packet: GStreamer streaming media framework "bad" plug-ins gstreamer-plugins-bad-0.10.11-4.fc11 (i586) It is asking for an old packet (0.10.11-4), since the following packet (0.10.13-3) is already installed: gstreamer-plugins-bad-0.10.13-3.fc11.i586 Maybe something is wrong with rpmfusion packets? Do I open a bug at bugzilla.rpmfusion.org?
rpmfusion bug opened: https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=735
