Yeah.  With such amounts of streams the checks need to be automated.  I
hope the script I sent in
https://github.com/freetuxtv/freetuxtv/issues/202 > can help there.

Btw, are you aware of GNOME Internet Radio Locator,
https://people.gnome.org/~ole/girl >?  Perhaps you can import its
list and share the list of radio stations with that project?

Yes, the best would be to improve the script that directly update the
database. I have to develop this feature in the database manager.

Hi,

Thanks for your modifications.

i'm starting to cleanup the stream database. I already remove a hundred of
invalid stream, to get the most working stream as possible but since there
is more than 4000 streams it will takes some times to review all.

Very good.  It work for me in Jessie, at least.

If you, like me, struggle to find a working stream, I am happy to report
that the TV channel I am involved in, Frikanalen, is in the database now
and its stream is currently working.

I've fixed a bunch of lintian warnings and other small things. Operating
on the assumption that the database of streams will be brought to
date/cleaned up, I'll upload the package after giving it a final look
over with fresh eyes tomorrow.

Best wishes,
Ryan

I did not quite understand what you mean.  The streams seem to still be
included in the freetuxtv database.

Hi,

i saw that freetuxtv_0.6.8~dfsg1.orig.tar.gz have been commited the same
day of your message. Does it fix the problem?

For the database, all stream have to be cleaned from
http://database.freetuxtv.net/. I don't have enough time to do it but i
will try to do it.

Very good.  I had a look and cleaned up some issues.  The most annoying
issue left is that 'gbp buildpackage' do not work because of this:

  fatal: Path 'freetuxtv_0.6.8~dfsg1.orig.tar.gz.delta' does not exist in 
'refs/heads/pristine-tar'
  pristine-tar: git show 
refs/heads/pristine-tar:freetuxtv_0.6.8~dfsg1.orig.tar.gz.delta failed
  gbp:error: Couldn't checkout "freetuxtv_0.6.8~dfsg1.orig.tar.gz": it exited 
with 128

Perhaps you can fix it?

I've tested the package in Jessie (with a patch), and it seem to be
working.  Unfortunately the database of video and audio sources seem to
be horribly outdated, making it hard to find a stream to use for
testing.

Are you going to push the patches and manual page upstream?  Are you in
touch with upstream?  He seem quite responsive.

Btw, you should drop the menu file and use a desktop file instead.

Hi, we are updating upstream package in debian, just waiting for some
review before to send it to debian repository.

It will be soon avaliable.

[Petter Reinholdtsen]

When deciding if the package should be kept or not, it might be useful to
note that there is recent developments in the new upstream git repository
mentioned in bug #813192.  In other words, the upstream developer is still 
active,
even if no update has been done to the Debian package since 2014.

I do not use this package myself, but have it installed and noticed its removal
from testing thanks to how-can-i-help and decided to check it out.   It seem 
like
a good platform for making the TV channel I am involed in (Frikanalen) easily
available for Debian users.

Bug#822494: Time to remove? Unusable since 2014.

[Ryan Kavanagh]

Package: freetuxtv
Version: 0.6.6~dfsg1-1
Severity: grave
Justification: Package RC-buggy (x2) and completely unusable since 2014

[ Follow-up to discussion in #debian-multimedia. ]

This package has been RC-buggy since 2014 (bugs #772845, #787351). In
particular, it is completely unusable: it encounters a segmentation
fault at startup. I am not opposed to continuing to sponsor it, but I
haven't used it in several years and have no interest in maintaining it
myself.

Does anybody have a strong desire to keep it in Debian? Seeing that it
has been completely unusable for a year and a half now, I'm ready to
give it one more month before asking for it to be removed. (That's to
say, unless someone replies to this bug report stating that they want to
take care of this package, I will ask for it to be removed (RoM) from
the archive come June 2016. As its sponsor, I realise I'm ultimately
responsible for the package, and there is no point in letting it
languish in the archives if nobody cares about it.)

Apart from general housekeeping, here's what's required:
 * Replace non-free icons (bug #787351). Upstream promised to deal with
   this in May 2015.
 * Apply user submitted patch for the segmentation fault (bug #772845).

Best wishes,
Ryan
