[opensuse] kaffeine stopped working with 11.2
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.

YES, go to something that has proven to work VLC. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
Doesn't work either:
No suitable decoder module:
VLC does not support the audio or video format "XVID". Unfortunately
there is no way for you to fix this.
Thanks all.

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 Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker@iinet.net.au =================================================== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

VLC is OK for some things but it doesn't do DVB-T like Kaffeine does. -- =================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker@iinet.net.au =================================================== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

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 :-) , could you please advise me, step-by-step - by private mail so as not to clutter up this list - of how you compile, kaffeine from source (svn or otherwise) for 11.2? I would most grateful. OH, I am using KDE433.

I use a USB DVB-T adaptor (an AverMedia DVB-T Volar, I believe now out of production). It uses the DiB7000 driver. I also have (for my work laptop) an AverMedia DVB-T Hybrid-FM Volar USB tuner that does analogue, DVB-T, FM Broadcast and composite video input. It works too with a proprietary driver but with early versions of the driver I could never figure out how to get it to switch inputs under Linux. 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.

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. HTH. Rodney.

I have the German Technisat SkyStar2 DVB card. [pruned]

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 :-) .

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).

Just checked - watching SBS-HD now with full sound. And yes, I do have sound on all the other HD channels (at the moment);-). -- =================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker@iinet.net.au =================================================== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Thanks, Rod. Good! Can you tell me please, what exactly is the version showing in the HELP dropdown menu of the kaffeine you are using?

Apologies if this message doesn't come through the list correctly, but I accidentally deleted your message before replying, so I replied to someone else's thread and hacked the In-Reply-To and References headers to point to the correct (I hope) message id's. Anyway, my Kaffeine shows 1.0-svn2 using KDE 4.3.4 "release 2". -- =================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker@iinet.net.au =================================================== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Thanks Rod. Mine shows all the same wording EXCEPT that it is "-pre2" instead of "-svn2" as you have. (I'm buggered if I know why the fix which Christoph put thru way back in October is still to be included in a "release"version of kaffeine, or whatever, but is only available in [your] svn version :-( . But what is also really stumping me is that kaffeine uses xine-related files -- and in xine I get sound on *all* HD channels (and said so to Christoph)! Pity xine cannot RECORD programs otherwise I would blow away kaffeine as it has other problems not present in the 11.1/KDE3 version. vlc is nice, but it don't play TV....)
