GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 608013
Totem fails at DVB-T playback
Last modified: 2010-01-26 23:12:29 UTC
Totem 2.28 is unable to playback DVB-T. It does show the stations from a channels.conf, but when starting playback, the screen remains black. There is a bug report on Launchpad which lists some details: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/totem/+bug/361322
In the future, post logs in the bug itself, I shouldn't have to go hunting for logs. Launching: gst-launch-0.10 playbin "uri=dvb://CHANNEL_NAME" will not replicate what Totem does: gst-launch-0.10 playbin2 "uri=dvb://CHANNEL_NAME" will, and I'm pretty sure you'd get errors with that as well.
Created attachment 152357 [details] Console output with playbin2 This is the log when using playbin2 with gst-launch-0.10. In this case, there is no video at all.
Created attachment 152358 [details] Console output with playbin Just for comparison (don’t know if it helps): This is the output when using playbin instead of playbin2. In this case, the video from the TV card plays fine.
Maybe duplicate of or related to bug #597195 ?
