Description Stas Sergeev 2014-12-14 12:45:01 UTC
Description of problem:
I used xawtv for many years without problems.
After upgrade to F21, I can no longer switch channels.
Whatever channel was set when xawtv started, displays
fine. But when I switch the channel, the image freezes.
The sound, however, changes fine. If I restart xawtv,
it will properly display the channel to which I switched.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xawtv-3.103-4.fc21.x86_64
(worked on the latest from F19, not tried on F20)

How reproducible:
Easily

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start xawtv
2. make sure the disaplay is fine
3. switch channel

Actual results:
Video freezes, only sound changes

Expected results:
Both sound and video changes.

Additional info:
Verified with tvtime: switching works fine.
Unfortunately tvtime does not support sound, so I have
to stick to xawtv...

What can this mean?
Maybe xawtv now tries to open the new channel somehow
before closing the previous one? Just a wild guess.
