When I try to watch digital television (DVB-T standard) with Kaffeine, no picture is shown. After a while I get a "read error" dialog box from Kaffeine. dmesg shows the following error:

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kaffeine-1.2.2-1.fc15.i686
kernel-2.6.40-4.fc15.i686 and also 2.6.40.3-0

How reproducible:
Always

1. Try to watch digital TV with Kaffeine using the dib0700 driver
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
No picture, error message (see above) in dmesg.

Thanks for the link.  All 3 of those patches are in linux-next, but never made it to 3.0-stable.  I'll grab them and try adding them to a scratch build F15 kernel.

Comment 2 Josh Boyer 2011-10-21 00:42:37 UTC
I've started a scratch build kernel that includes those 3 patches.  When this completes, could you please test it and let us know if the issues are resolved?

Comment 3 Juhani Jaakola 2011-10-22 12:39:27 UTC
Josh, your scratch built kernel-2.6.40.7-1.1.fc15.i686 works fine! The issue is resolved! I can now watch TV and record programmes with Kaffeine with no problems. Thanks!

Comment 4 Jan Bušta 2011-10-23 12:21:04 UTC
Thank you, works for me fine. Switching programs works as before.

Comment 5 Josh Boyer 2011-10-24 13:13:29 UTC
OK, I have added the patches to F15-rawhide.  They will be in the next official kernel build.
