Bug ID: 400815
Summary: Digital TV not showing up in Neon 18.04 Kaffeine
Product: kaffeine
Version: 2.0.15
Platform: Neon Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general

Opening screen of 'kaffeine' in Neon 18.04
I have been using kaffeine in Kubuntu and Neon to watch DVB-T tv, with success
in successive Ubuntu versions - trusty, xenial, bionic and neon-16.04.
The tuner card reports as 'PHILIPS TDA10046H DVB-T'
Having recently installed Neon 18.04, kaffeine no longer recognises the
existence of the tuner card - in fact the Start pane in kaffeine lacks the
'Digital TV' box and the 'Television' menu entry.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install Neon 18.04
2. Install kaffeine from the Neon repos.
3. Start up kaffeine
OBSERVED RESULT
No 'Digital TV' box on Start panel and no 'Television' on menu bar.
EXPECTED RESULT
'Digital TV' box on Start panel and 'Television' option on menu bar.
SOFTWARE VERSIONS
Kaffeine: 2.0.15
KDE Plasma Version: 5.14.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.51.0
Qt Version: 5.11.2 (built against 5.11.1)
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The tuner card works fine with VLC in Neon-18.04, so the problem does seem to
be in kaffeine or it's dependencies not used by VLC.
I can install the kaffeine versions from Neon 16.04, Kubuntu 18.04 or the
'cosmic' repos and digital tv works fine.
I have also tried kaffeine from the Neon development repos (both stable and
unstable) and still have the 'no digital tv' problem.
An interesting (but possibly not relevant!) observation is that all the Neon
18.04 versions of the /usr/bin/kaffeine binary are around 35% the size of the
Kubuntu and Neon 16.04 versions - has a significant chunk of functionality been
left out?
