0.5.29 not working, complains "no CA module present"

Asked by ajake

After complaining about CA module, new popup says "Failed to open video stream: No demux plugin". No picture, if trying to record, i'll get zero length file.
0.5.27 works. Also bzr revision 365 (0.5.30) is broken.

Smaller things, building instructions have a small typo in install tools: "devscirps", also at least ubuntu 8.04 (hardy) needs apt-get install libtool.

Using EPG and changing channels is very slow, i have 16 channels in channels.conf, scrolling epg window halts it for a few seconds very often (up/down and sideways). After changing a channel it gets locked for a few seconds, thats when it usually misses mouse clicks too.

Great info!

I'm at work at the moment but I will look into the documentation issues/build issues/CA issue as soon as I get home.

With the "EPG slowness", what video/card drivers are you running? I've noticed that the video renderer has real issues with non-accelerated enabled hardware and it tends to lock up the application.

Thanks,

Michael

You might be able to try another video output in Me TV. Not sure though.

Now, the only issue is the CA problem. Are you available for a chat? #me-tv on FreeNode or jabber <email address hidden>.

I've pushed a new revision that should hopefully tell us what's going on.

Oh, "this solved my problem" button made a automatic comment :) Thanks for fixing "no picture" problem, it's seems that 367 is also faster with EPG, couln't get it to freeze while scrolling (of course there is a pause when switching channels, and then it misses mouse clicks). I'll test some more later..
