Dear Christophe, first of all a thousands of thanks for your pretty nice hints :) > You can click on list headers to set sorting. > Numbers are quite useful and easy to remember (at least for most viewed > channels).

As an addition a bookmark system to sub-categorize the found channels would be "close to perfection." :) As kaffeine is not too well documented :( the alphabetic order only does appear in the editor mode, not in the watching TV or radio mode. > So you may want to delete useless channels (take a look, > you will find a lot :) to reduce the list length. This also should be done automatically (double and triple appearances, channels without a valid name appearing as "unknown" etc.). The primary direction should be: as little user inputs as necessary. > You can also take advantage of categories to group channels and so deal > with smaller lists.

If I find some time to do I will extend the spoken wav-part by two other core languages: German and French. Then will produce a Debian package to imply that tool into my TCL/TK project I am busily working on (which is trilingual at the current state of development). Uwe Master question 1: When I run a kaffeine channel scan I never stumble across "filter timeout pid" errors. When I do the same with "scan" out of the dvb-utils-package, filter timeouts appear very often and the scan result is neither mediocre nor even reliable, with or without the parameter -5. It's just utmost "crappy"! So please where is the clue in kaffeine's source code that makes its channel scan perform so well and reliable (well: I would not say perfect, but still far much better than "scan" ever was!)? Master question 2: In a channel scan result there are channels that are declared CA but are FTA and vice versa. How can this be corrected automatically? My proposal would be: List the channels by SID in a database or something similar, then correcting the CA-flag automatically. _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
