[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#369593: kaffeine: watching live dvb streams crashes program

[Aki Parviainen]

Package: kaffeine
Version: 0.8.1-2
Severity: important


Kaffeine crashes while watching live dvb streams everytime within 2 to 30 seconds
after starting up livetv-mode. The time interval seems to be random, but usually it is less than 10 
seconds after starting up. Before crashing the player works just fine, ie I can change 
channels, the sound is normal, I can switch to/from full screen mode etc.. 

This behaviour started about two weeks ago, probably just after 21.5. . Before that time Kaffeine 
crashed with live dvb streams maybe once per hour or two hours and it seemed just random crashes. 
But now it is happening everytime I start livetv-mode. Other than livetv-mode Kaffeine crashes hardly 
ever, maybe once a month or something. I'm using Kaffeine extensively everyday for watching
dvd:s, videos and listening music, but sadly not for dvb at the moment. :(

The machine used is completely uptodate sid amd64 system and I'm using Terratec Cinergy 1200 dvb-c card
with kernel 2.6.16, the kernels tested have been all the 2.6.16 amd64 kernels (the most recent tested is 
2.6.16-2-amd64-k8, 2.6.16-14). Here's the last lines of running kaffeine --verbose (complete log attached 
to the report) :
 
video_out_xv: VO_PROP_INTERLACED(0)
video discontinuity #4, type is 0, disc_off 0
waiting for audio dixine pipe opened /home/app/.kaxtv.ts
KCrash: Application 'kaffeine' crashing...
kaffeine: Fatal IO error: client killed
Unable to start Dr. Konqi

Kde also reports that it cannot produce debugging information. Is Dr. Konqi kde's debugging tool?

This issue seems to be exactly the same as following issue reported by Suse user:
