maskarin Compile instructions:

wget https://github.com/freetuxtv/freetuxtv/archive/freetuxtv-0.6.8.tar.gz
tar xvf freetuxtv-0.6.8.tar.gz
cd freetuxtv-freetuxtv-0.6.8/
sudo eopkg it -c system.devel libgtk-3-devel glibc-devel dbus-glib-devel sqlite3-devel vlc-devel curl-devel libnotify-devel
./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=/usr --with-gtk=3.0
make
sudo make install

Tried a ton of the English channels but no stream would open.

Of course if there are others likely to work in France and available in the depots I am also interested

Last commit was 3 years ago and there are 75 open issues... Looks deadish.

Yes I know the proget if it is not abandoned, is really idling.But good at home it works very well without cuts as often VLC.Après as I say at the beginning of the post if there is a alternative I am a taker, if not you just need to add his address to the deposit with "sudo eopkg add-repo" is that?

We're not adding it to the repository, as it would be dead-on-arrival (DOA), as per our Package Inclusion Policy. We don't need to do anything, you are welcome to compile it yourself.

maskarin

Ok so I understand, I will try to compile alone 😅

Hello, Thanks Justin everything works great at home and so I can via my cell phone watch TV again 😃; For info on other distributions of Linux of course, when I installed FreetuxTv, Vlc was automatically installed at the same time.The compilation procedure is always this way? If yes I would put it aside. Thanks again for your help Justin! who did me a favor.

maskarin If you understood what have you done, yes it will more easier next time.

My post is solved

maskarin

Yes I think I have not misunderstood what I did I would keep this as a model when meme.Bon then it comes to me a new question (I prefer to be an idiot and ask questions rather than doing stupid 😄) so there everything is good for the FreetuxTv but when there will be a distribution update how is it going? will I have to recompile or will everything remain or will the software remain?

maskarin you may have to rebuild when a library against which it is built is updated and there are ABI changes. Translated into a understandable language it means if the application stops working you'll have to rebuild it, but hopefully it won't be frequent (unlike people who have to build a kernel module for their hardware : they have to build it again whenever the kernel is updated, so almost every week)

maskarin

Okay
So have crossed the fingers so that it is not too frequent, in the meantime I take advantage and thanks to the forum of Solus hyper reactive and very efficient.

Justin

If you do have to rebuild it, all you'll need to do is run:

cd freetuxtv-freetuxtv-0.6.8/
make clean
./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=/usr --with-gtk=3.0
make
sudo make install

Hello,
Thank you very much Justin it will help me if I have to rebuild; I would do this while understanding what is happening.
