Hi, is a

From uname -r 4.14.30-desktop-3.mga6 . I have 6.6 of freetuxtv and it is not working. I have been checking the various web site for info and there is a consensus that an upgrade to 6.8 is required. Downloaded and unzipped and configed with the following error

Code: Select all

checking for GTK... yes
checking for GLIB... yes
checking for GOBJECT... yes
checking for GIO... yes
checking for DBUS_GLIB... no
configure: error: Package requirements (dbus-glib-1 >= 0.74) were not met:

No package 'dbus-glib-1' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables DBUS_GLIB_CFLAGS
and DBUS_GLIB_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.


Thanking you in advance for assistance.

You are missing the development package containing dbus-glib headers.
Easiest thing would be to install all build dependencies of the src.rpm via

Code: Select all

urpmi --buildrequires http://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/os/linux/mageia/distrib/6/SRPMS/core/release/freetuxtv-0.6.6-6.mga6.src.rpm

Apart from that, you should probably report a bug if the version from the repos is not working: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/How_to_report_a_bug_properly
For completeness's sake and also to allow others to follow up on that bug report, please also post the link to it here in the thread, thanks.

Thanks for the response. Install and compile successful but still having the following errors. This is occurring with all selected stations.

An error occurred while playing channel 'France 24 English' : mms://stream1.france24.yacast.net/f24_liveen

If the problem persist, you can report that the link is dead at http://database.freetuxtv.net/


You should probably run freetuxtv from a terminal and post the complete output here. Or maybe ask here: https://github.com/freetuxtv/freetuxtv/issues

Thanks for your help. Ran freetuxtv in terminal and here is the output. Will also check that link.

Does not seem like it shows anything about playing any stream. Did you just start it and only posted the output about that?
