Hi ..
Well i dont even know how to begin this one as i have a feeling it is very region specific but here goes anyway.
I am using VLC to view TV my card is one of the Haupague cards i will be watching tv perfectly ok then for no reason it just stops displaying certain channels , These are all the BBC channels and it is spread across Tv and Radio but as i say only BBC stuff if i shut down VLC open it up again then rescan the channels it will be ok for maybe a day or so then the same thing happens .
No matter what i do it will not work with the previous playlist file nor using the xine channels.conf file
I have reported this on the VLC Linux forum as well
any ideas at all ? makes no sense at all to me .. purley because it only effects BBC stuff ..

In reply to my own message problem solved i have got kaffeine working again guess what no more problems with lost channels so it is definately an VLC problem
Pete .
I am glad that your problem has been solved - but not by getting vlc to work for you rather by switching over to another app (but how about xine, have you tried xine yet?).
From the private exchanges off the mail list between the 3 of us I thought that the conclusion appears to be that it's openSUSE (with KDE) which seems to be the bug in the ointment and not vlc because your countryman who is running, like myself, Ubuntu is not having any problems at all with vlc.

Hi Basil. I have tried xine and while it works it is for want of ma better description clunky the channel selection is poor the whole control setup needs a good looking over and i have to edit out a lot of fluff that gets into the channels.conf file where as Kaffeine once again finds the channels no extra fluff or junk and bang works , There was a KDE base update that did the trick for me I am going to mail the other peter and see if he has updated his box and suggest he tries it see if it solves his Kaffeine problems as well .
