!! HAVE A LOOK AT KAFFEINE HANDBOOK !!

!!!!!!!!!! IMPORTANT !!!!!!!
|
|
Live DVB only works with the xine backend (XinePart).
|
|
Depending on your distro, this package could be called kaffeine-xine.
|
|
Install it, start Kaffeine and change the backend in menu->settings->engine, then restart Kaffeine.
|
|
Note that this is only needed for live playback. All other features (recording, broadcasting..) do not depend on the backend.
|
|
Anyway, I strongly recommend the xine engine even if you don't have a DVB device. All others are incomplete and/or buggy.
|
|
Also note that for licensing reasons, some distro (kubuntu, suse) comes with "restricted" media libraries (xine, gstreamer),
|
|
so you won't be able to play some media files (in fact the most common ones:().
|
|
You will have to install an "unrestricted" version in order to play all your media files.

This version of kaffeine includes support for DVB.
|
|
|
|
Requirements :
|
|
A DVB device supported by linuxtv drivers.
|
|
Look at www.linuxtv.org for how to get, install and run these drivers.
|
|
Recent linux distributions should have full DVB support, so your device should be autodetected at boot time.
|
|
|
|
Install:
|
|
You must have dvb headers to compile the dvb part.
|
|
Configure search for linux/dvb/frontend.h in standard paths (typically /usr/include)
|
|
./configure
|
|
make
|
|
make install (as root)
|
|
YOU MUST INSTALL or it won't work.
|
|
|
|
Usage:
|
|
Kaffeine uses dvbscan data files to find channels from you DVB network.
|
|
They are expected to be in :
|
|
~/.kde/share/apps/kaffeine/dvb-s
|
|
~/.kde/share/apps/kaffeine/dvb-t
|
|
~/.kde/share/apps/kaffeine/dvb-c
|
|
|
|
If these dirs are missing, Kaffeine tries to download a daily updated archive from
|
|
http://hftom.free.fr/kaxtv/dvbdata.tar.gz, and extract it. If that fails, Kaffeine search for the installed archive in
|
|
$KDEDIR/share/apps/kaffeine.
|
|
|
|
Kaffeine tries to open your dvb device at start time, so make sure no other app are using it.
|
|
|
|
First , go to menu->DVB->Configure DVB . There, you have to choose a source for your device and configure diseqc (for dvb-s)
|
|
Kaffeine now support multiple dvb devices, repeat the configure step for each device.
|
|
|
|
Then go to the channels dialog ( either from the DVB menu or DVB tab ), select a source in the list and start scanning, then add
|
|
the desired channels to your channels list; repeat for each source.
|
|
Channels are assigned a number when they are added to the channels list.. You can later change it by editing the channel.
|
|
|
|
To zap to a channel, either double click on the channel name from the DVB tab (after tuning, Kaffeine autoswitch to player tab)
|
|
or enter its number with keypad. You can also use pageup/down to zap to previous/next.
|
|
|
|
Remote control:
|
|
kdelirc dcop functions:
|
|
setNumber( int num )
|
|
next()
|
|
previous()
|
|
dvbOSD()
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
Channels categories:
|
|
Right click in the icon view to get a popupmenu and choose "New category".
|
|
Now, drag a channel name and drop it on the desired category' icon.
|
|
To remove a channel from a category, drop it on the "All" icon.
|
|
To delete a category, right click on its icon to get a popmenu.
|
|
|
|
You can also change the channel number. Select the channel, then click on the number to edit.
