Kaffeine doesn't find the device. The only DVB-devices that were reported to work with kaffeine on FreeBSD, where those using the driver from http://raaf.atspace.org/ dvbusb/ > My postings in the kaffeine-user ML showed that it looks like there > is a completely different interfacing in FreeBSD than in Linux. > (can that be true?) AFAIK there is no general interface for DVB Hardware in FreeBSD, every driver can use his own (actually there are not many drivers :- (), Looks like cx88 uses a different one, than the dvbusb driver. > During analysis I was asked about the expected dvb device > > /dev/dvb/adpater0/frontend0 > > but at least in my FreeBSD installation there are only three devices > /dev/cx88mpeg0 > /dev/cx88video > /dev/cx88audio. > Maybe Christophe is right, and you are missing the dvb part of the driver. > The guy in the kaffeine-user ML was wondering even how I was able > to compile Kaffeine in FreeBSD...

Compare the Linux driver with the FreeBSD cx88 and dvbusb driver, and try to create similar devices. Have fun! arved
