Description Paul Finnigan 2013-11-14 10:51:46 UTC

Description of problem:

When selecting DVB fromn the UI in xine I get the message "No valid channels.conf found" and the UI locks up, it needs to be killed. Confusing as I had one that looked correct in ~/.xine/

I have found that you need to put the channels.conf file into ~/.config/xine-lib/

This is a problem that needs to be passed upstream I would think. Debian has a similar problem reorted (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=702580) but this is for a different version of xine-lib

It is not a major issue. Just people need to be aware of the location that channels.conf should be placed.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.2.4-3.fc20

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Put channels.conf in ~/.xine/
2. Start xine
3. Select DVB

Actual results:
UI unusable

Expected results:
Watch TV

Additional info:
Move channels.conf file to ~/.config/xine-lib/channels.conf and everything works as expected

xine-lib is no longer in fedora, please report to bugzilla.rpmfusion.org instead.

That, plus I'm sure this is an intentional change (following modern-day freedesktop.org specifications rather than legacy Unix conventions), not a bug at all. 1.2 is a major new version, there are years of development between 1.1 and 1.2.
