[Bug 377050] Re: Failed to lock to channel at boot

 

It works! I guess the timeout option is working so it gets the signal
lock.

Thank you.

About your question, xine takes about 8 seconds to show the first
channel and between 5 and 8 to change channels. I think it is similar to
me-tv.

I hope you enhance the recording scheduler soon.

Thanks again.

Status in Me TV, it's TV for me computer: Fix Released
Status in “me-tv” source package in Ubuntu: Confirmed

Bug description:
Binary package hint: me-tv

I get that error only at the start of the program. Then I can click any channel and I watch it. Always. I can change channel without any problem.

With xine I never get the error.

I execute:

atc@pc1:~$ me-tv --disable-epg-thread --read_timeout=100
Me TV 0.8.12
15/05/09 20:32:00: Setting display channel to 'Canal Sur 2 Andalucia' (2)
15/05/09 20:32:00: Waiting for signal lock ...

and I get the error in about 10 seconds. I don't know if the read-timeout option is working. It happens with any channel.

My system: Ubuntu 9.04, Gnome
My tv tunner: AverMedia A16D (Hybrid)

Because of the error, I can't use Me-TV to record using crontab.

Great program, anyway.
