Description Jan ONDREJ 2011-12-31 13:29:17 UTC
Description of problem:
Current version of dvbscan in Fedora does not work. I can see my current DVB-T channels, but can't scan them using dvbscan.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
dvb-apps-1.1.2-0.d4e8bf5658ce.fc16.i686

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. dvbscan /usr/share/dvb/dvb-t/sk-Kosice
  
Actual results:
Unable to query frontend status

Expected results:
scanning /usr/share/dvb/dvb-t/sk-Kosice
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
initial transponder 778000000 0 2 9 3 1 3 0
initial transponder 506000000 0 2 9 3 1 3 0
>>> tune to: 778000000:INVERSION_AUTO:BANDWIDTH_8_MHZ:FEC_2_3:FEC_AUTO:QAM_64:TRANSMISSION_MODE_8K:GUARD_INTERVAL_1_4:HIERARCHY_NONE
...

Additional info:
This version works in Fedora too:
http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/12.1/repo/oss/suse/i586/dvb-1.1.1_20100509-10.1.2.i586.rpm
It's enough to unpack "bin" directory and run "scan" binary.
You can check, what's different.

Still same problem. :(

<home:pts0:~>$ rpm -q dvb-apps                                                  dvb-apps-1.1.2-0.1457.bec11f78be51.fc16.i686                                    <home:pts0:~>$ dvbscan /usr/share/dvb/dvb-t/sk-Kosice 
Unable to query frontend status

Any progress here? Can you backport suse changes?

I recently pulled in the head from upstream, when suse's changes are upstreamed we will get them.

1.1.2-0.1479.37781d27a444 - same problem

[root@home ~]# rpm -q dvb-apps
dvb-apps-1.1.2-0.1479.37781d27a444.fc16.i686
[root@home ~]# dvbscan /usr/share/dvb/dvb-t/sk-Kosice 
Unable to query frontend status

Comment 6 Jirka Klimes 2012-06-26 08:08:50 UTC
Upsteam dvb-apps tree actually contains two scan utilities:
scan - works OK
dvbscan - is broken and actually not implemented

Fedora packages rename "scan" to "scandvb" possibly to avoid collision with other utilities. Older packages contained just this scandvb utility.
However, newer packages made of ustream snapshots also contain broken "dvbscan" which makes the confusion.

So, just use "scandvb" instead od "dvbscan":
$ scandvb /usr/share/dvb/dvb-t/sk-Kosice

I suggested removing dvbscan completely to ustream as the utility seems to be abandoned and scanning is not actually implemented in it.
