kaffeine not loading dvb-t usb device

[tarasin]

I'm having a problem with kaffeine loading my dvb-t usb tv stick. It was working fine until yesterday.
The output in dmesg says "dvb-usb: Pinnacle PCTV 73e successfully initialized and connected".
I have also installed me-tv to double check the connection and it is working fine.

Running kaffeine in a terminal produced this readout :
kaffeine(3100) DvbDeviceManager::componentAdded: couldn't determine adapter and/or index for "/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_2304_237_0000000M99B44GH_dvb_2"

Any help would be grately appreciated.

I have a similar problem, Kaffeine detects my USB device Zarlink ZA10353 DVB-T and has successfully downloaded the scan data for my region but the channel search yields no results even though the signal strength is ok and a 'Tuned' lock is shown.
Yesterday I updated it. Today it has stopped working completely in DVB mode with similar output to yours..

Most disappointing. Kaffeine was a great and probably the most user friendly DVB app but it seems to have been wrecked.
It doesn't even seem to support network broadcasting any longer and the configuration available is grossly inadequate..

It would be interesting to know if it is possible to roll back to an earlier version with KDE4. The version running on my KDE 3 boxes is flawless.

Yes I agree with you, it does look like it is the latest kaffeine update that is causing the problem as it was working perfectly when I first installed PCLinuxOS 2010.

After deleting the kaffeine folder and restarting kaffeine there is no entry for "configure device" under configure television.
Is there anyone who can help with this problem as I prefer kaffeine for watching and recording tv.

Thank you.

Have you tried re-installing Kaffeine?

Yes I have just tried a reinstall and now it does not see my dvb-t usb device at all.
