Dear all,
I have upgraded my opensuse 11.2 on my X61 laptop. Everything seems okay except that the display seems really sluggish and kaffeine stopped working. Now with kaffeine I just see a blank black screen and can only hear sound.
Can someone help?
KDE3 or KDE4? For KDE4, I've been building kaffeine from source (keeping up to date with svn) because the latest versions have functionality not yet in the distro version (and on my machine at least it is very stable now).
Rodney, do you use kaffeine to watch TV from a DVB card and, if so, can you get sound from *all* - not just some, but all - AUS High Definition channels located in the area where you live (I am in Canberra, with direct-sight of the Black Mountain)? If you do, but even if you don't
I use a USB DVB-T adaptor (an AverMedia DVB-T Volar,
I have the German Technisat SkyStar2 DVB card. [pruned]
Anyway, yes, I think I can get sound on all the HD channels with the possible exception of SBS; I don't generally watch the HD channels with this setup though because it is pretty hard on the graphics hardware and I don't have a high-end video card.
Ah, OK. Your response does not convince me that you *are* able to get sound from HD channels :-) . Not only do you "think I can get sound" but you also state that you may not be getting sound from the SBS HD channel - which is directly opposite to what I get: SBS HD is one of the channels where I *do* have sound :-) .
I'm sure others would benefit from it too; I don't consider this to be O/T for this mailing list. You can find step-by-step instructions at
http://kaffeine.kde.org/?q=devel
Make sure that you have the full (uncrippled) versions of xine/libxine installed from packman too, because kaffeine uses libxine as the backend.
When you want to update, so svn update in the kaffeine source directory, then redo the compile steps. You can run it from the source directory to test prior to installing over the previous version.
Thanks for this. I will follow up on this and see if I can compile kaffeine to include the fix which Christoph wrote, and put into the KDE system, back in October (18th).
