Bug Description

Binary package hint: kaffeine

i'm using karmic koala and kafeine 1.0~pre1+svn976487-0ubuntu4
kaffeine is unable to use dvb card to play tv.
It can scan channels successfully (it find all channels) but when i open tv mode, nothing append.
My dvb card work with mplayer.

in kaffeine menu configuration->configure my tv->device 1, there is :
name : Conexant CX22702 DVB-T
-------------------------------------------
device not connected

lspci reports dvb card is detected :
05:00.0 Multimedia video controller: Conexant Systems, Inc. CX23880/1/2/3 PCI Video and Audio Decoder (rev 05)
05:00.2 Multimedia controller: Conexant Systems, Inc. CX23880/1/2/3 PCI Video and Audio Decoder [MPEG Port] (rev 05)

my dvb card worked with jaunty and kaffeine 0.8.7

Kaffeine is completely rewrite, but could you test bug with kaffeine 1.0pre2? It's available on my-ppa. Check my profile. You can download .deb from my profile [ppa] or add repositories to your /etc/apt/sources.list

it's better.
when i select the channel x, i can see osd "channel : x".
but there is still an error : "impossible de trouver un périphérique appropié" which means "unable to find an appropriate device" :/

might not be the same thing but is hal running? i had what sounds like the same problem but it was caused by kaffeine trying to 'get property' from hal, but hal isnt running so it needed to be started manually. i believe hal is in the process of being deprecated(?)

In deed. hal is not running and when i start kaffeine in a terminal, there is some error messages :

QStringList Solid::Backends::Hal::HalManager::findDeviceByDeviceInterface(const Solid::DeviceInterface::Type&) error: "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown"

i tried to restart hald manually but it does nothing :/

remember, the new hald start service has been 'upstarted' so its now
$ sudo start hal
