Question about kaffeine

P

Pedro

Hello.

I am a newbie with FreeBSD and I am a bit surprised the kaffeine application does not have the television (DVB) environment and options. I installed it with the package and today with the port (4 hours compiling) and the TV environment that we can see over Linux is missing.

I looked in the forum and there is very little information about this application, but it seems that the TV environment existed before. On the other hand, I can see television with my USB stick and VLC (though I have a little problem with webcamd that I am still trying to resolve myself)

Why can't I see those options? Probably there is something rather evident I am not taking into account.

Best regards.

Because the port maintainer didn't add the option. For whatever reason. Maybe that functionality is so intrinsically linked to Linux (through systemd for example) it may not even be portable to FreeBSD.
 
I appreciate the responses, but I am very comfortable with kaffeine in Linux because the images go without stumbles (this "stumbling" happens in my computer with VLC), and I thought the same kaffeine would exist in FreeBSD. As far as I know Kodi does not admit DVB, but I will try with kodi and tvheadend.

we can read:

To use kaffeine for digital TV install the port, make sure hald and dbus are running and webcamd was started with -H (should be default), start kaffeine, select "Configure television", click on "Update scan data over the Internet", select your tuner and region (or satellite details), then select "Channels" and start a scan.

so it clearly seems the TV environment existed before in kaffeine.
