Bug ID: 388367
Summary: config.dvb contains garbage values for higherVoltage
after setting in "Configure Television" window
Product: kaffeine
Version: 2.0.13
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: mchehab+...@kernel.org
Reporter: randall.fis...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
I have a four tuner WinTV-quadHD card. The tuners show up as "Device" tabs in
the "Configure Television" window. In each of these tabs, I set a "Source" and
"Name" for the corresponding tuner.
After saving this information and quitting kaffeine, the values for
higherVoltage in the config.dvb file were very large values (probably random,
uninitialized junk). The value for the first tuner is a positive number, the
values for the remaining tuners are negative.
If I then restart kaffeine, it complains that "kaffeine.dvb: Cannot read
/home/rfisher/.local/share/kaffeine/config.dvb".
However, it is able to read the "Source" and "Name" for the first tuner, but
not the remaining tuners. If you quit at this point, it will rewrite
config.dvb with this information removed for the second through fourth tuners,
but leaving the stored information for the first tuner.
If you edit config.dvb and replace the negative values for higherVoltage with
the same large, positive value used for the first tuner, it reads the entire
file, does not complain about that it can't, and gets the correct "Name" and
"Source" information for all four tuners.
So, this is what I think is happening:
1. kaffeine is storing uninitialized data for higherVoltage into the
config.dvb file. higherVoltage appears to be of type Qt::CheckState which
should only have the values 0, 1, or 2. It should not have large positive or
negative values.
2. The error message implies that the file permissions are incorrect - they
are not. kaffeine is able to read and write to the file. I think it is trying
to indicate that the file is malformed due to the negative values for
higherVoltage. If so, the error message should say so clearly.
