Comment # 14 on bug 1185276 from Stakanov Schufter

So:
VAAPI seems broken
VDPAU broken
Kaffeine does not register in programmed mode apparently creates only one huge
videofile if you program movies on the same channel and aborts programmed
registration. 
the converted files have no sound

only standard channels can be watched. 

This is quite a mess. 

When this happens the temperature of the graphic card begins to climb. 
When you, as first instance after a reboot, begin e.g. with ZDF HD and DO NOT
CHANGE a channel, the HD program will work. As soon as you change e.g. on ARTE
HD it is broken and then it stays broken until reboot. 

Is kaffeine still a supported frontend for vlc or has it been abandoned? 

the frustrating thing is: there is no alternative for satellite TV in linus, at
least not a userfriendly, easy working program. 
And that does not solve the cutting, converting issues. 

For what I do understand from the CLI output, the driver for my AMD graphics is
broken?
