I googled for this error, but what I found mostly were programming issues.

Do you use cauldron? Did you read https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Cauldron ?

Yes,I use Cauldron, and I read the wiki. So, I'm not complaining, I just wanted to test this TV facility to its very end.

See your original thread and first make sure that the card is working.
Then rule out if it may be some cauldron issue with me-tv, and try some other alternatives (vlc, xawtv, mplayer, kaffeine [which may be broken too] or something else)

The device works with VLC.
With xawtv there is a problem with

Which seems strange to me, because an x86-64 installation

Can you try to run

Code: Select all

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so xawtv

Before make sure that you have libv4l-wrappers installed (or lib64v4l-wrappers if x86_64 install)

For me-tv, just tested on Mageia 4 and it runs just fine, so seems to be a cauldron problem.

Slightly off-topic maybe but me-tv does not work for me on mga4. kaffeine and vlc were working consistently but are developing problems after my experiments with me-tv, like losing sight of the adapter.

That brought up the interface, which asked for the channels.conf file which I had recently generated using w_scan but the importing channels window came up empty and there was nothing in the channel selection window.
Ran xawtv by itself:

Something missing from my setup by the look of it, but what?

Why did you run it like that?

For xawtv, it seems to be broken - best open a bugreport for that.

tc shell. Your command would not work.
xawtv bug report upstream?

semantic still seems wrong, even the name of the env. variable is different. Should be

No, Mageia bug report.

In the mean time, I'm on Mageia 5 Beta 2.
Here the me-tv-client works OK, no more error. But (and that was the same with VLC), I had to use the scan command to make a channels.conf file manually and feed that one into the programs.
And xawtv does not see the device, it just shows me the webcam, I cannot select any other devide in its settings.

doktor5000: yes - I was being a bit sloppy.
Glad to see hviaene got me-tv working. I have used w_scan and scan with different output formats to no avail. Will stay with vlc if kaffeine dies eventually.
