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 ..
Pete .
I have a similar, but not same, problem with kaffeine: while it picks up
all the TV stations it does not pick up the audio for some HD channels-
the sound will work for about 5 seconds and then everything goes silent.
However, no such problem with xine and now vlc.
I suggest that you try this - I already gave you the basic instruction
in an earlier post but let me repeat myself just in case I missed
something the first time 'round.
Install w-scan, if you haven't already.
Then on a command line execute this:
/usr/bin/w_scan -c GB -X > channels.conf
this will create the *.conf file in your home directory - and you can
either leave it there or move it to some other directory.
Now, go to the vlc's icon and go Properties>command and add at the end
of the line: /
