    I need help with Kaffeine

    Are here any members who know how to bring Kaffeine back to running?

    My big problem in short:

    Hello
    First, I am still with Kubuntu 14.04-5 and the version on Kaffeine is Version 1.3-git, KDE 4.13.3, I am using the PPA from aap-kaffeine-trusty.
    I reinstalled my Operating System due to various reason. I keep it on a SSD, and all my date on seperate 4 HDs.

    Up to now when I wanted to watch Satellite TV I had no problems. But since this new installation, I get nothing. I can not even make a search as there is no list of the satellites at all. I am aware, to do a search of all channels, the interface from Kaffeine has to be closed.

    I made a picture to illustrate this: open Kaffeine and, on the menu choose TV/Fernsehen, then on Channels/Kanäle. Now, concentrate on the middle column. On top you are told that you are at the Channel Search/Kanalsuche. Quelle means search. But in that field just under «Source» is usually a list with all the Satellites and their channels. But this list is missing. Consequently I can not start the search with the following bit. Of course, the firmware is correctly installed. The decoder card is from TechnoTrend.

    Please open the link, there is a screen shot from my situation.

    Many thanks for your support.

    Kaffeine needs compatible DVB drivers to see your tuner card.

    Try using another progam to test like me-tv. me-tv is in the repositories I believe.

      Thank you for your response. I had it working without a problem on my 14.04-5 since umteen years until I had to reinstall the same distro. I could understand if it would be a Plama5 problem, but not this one.
      However, I will try the idea with me-tv.

        14.04.5 and 14.04 don't use the same kernel.

          I DID use the newest kernels I am getting from the disto-upgrades. Do you think this could be the problem?

          Do you mean with «compatible DVB drivers» the firmware? This is properly installed at «/lib/firmware/» the name of the file: «dvb-ttpci-01.fw».

            See if this helps

            https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/DVB-Karten/

            Also did me-tv work? If it does, its not a driver problem.

              Bin gerade dabei, danke.

              No, I have not yet found the time to do the me-to test. It will probably be after Wednesday, as I have one of the worlds most important job to do: finishing my taxreturn...

                I am studying Ubuntuusers.de, which brought me to the idea that perhaps my TechnoTrend card is not recognised at all, and the fault is not with Kaffeine but with the hardware.
                How can I check, if the card is working?

                  Well I found the command lspci and tryed the outcome. The manufacturer of the card is TechnoTrend and it is at least 12 years old or elder, can't find any documents...

                    Does
                    sudo lshw
                    show it?

                      You can check according to the article if you have a device listed in /dev/dvb

                      If the kernel module is loaded and the device is recognized any program like me-tv, vdr or tv headend will see it.

                      Automatisch¶

                      Wenn die Karte vom System automatisch erkannt wird, werden die notwendigen Treiber geladen und die entsprechenden Gerätedateien im Verzeichnis /dev/dvb/adapter0 angelegt:

                      demux0

                      dvr0

                      frontend0

                      net0

                          Thanks.
                          Daft as I am, I did not read my notes about Installing Kaffeine. My shame! I completely forgot to select the Satellites. From then on it was a kid's game to install the channels from the 2 Satellites.

                          However, I now don't get either picture nor sound. Here is the latest Diagnostic log:

                          19:26:08 VlcMediaWidget::setVolume: cannot set volume 100
                          19:26:08 DvbManager::loadDeviceManager: using built-in dvb device manager
                          19:26:10 DvbLinuxDevice::startDevice: found dvb device "P1131714613c2000e" 47 "ST STV0299 DVB-S"
                          19:26:12 DvbLinuxDevice::tune: DvbS "S 993750 H 22000000 5/6"
                          19:26:13 DvbDevice::frontendEvent: tuning failed

                          Any suggestions?

                            Ok try this. Use kaffeine to make a recording. Then use another program like VLC to see if you can view the recorded file.
