Re: The future of Freevo 2.0

Very sorry, I would report issues, but I can't get SVN working. 1.9
is pretty old. It was working on back in January, but couldn't get
it working.

Is there a way to install kaa without touching the rest of my machine?
I've waxed brave enough to try the beta version but, if I botch it up, I
still need to use my Freevo. I was looking at:
http://doc.freevo.org/SourceSVNInstallation Any help appreciated, thanks.

dan@dan-desktop:~/kaa$ python setup.py install
--prefix=/home/dan/freevo-test
[setup] Entering kaa submodule base
ERROR: detected conflicting files from a previous kaa.base version.

To fix, you'll need to rm -rf the following directories:
1. build/
2. /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/kaa/

Once you delete #2, you'll need to reinstall all the kaa
sub-modules you use.

(For the life of me, I never could get dvbstreamer working nor

1.9 works for my needs) And, my wife will kill me if I "mess
around

with that thing" anymore. Never tried XBMC but, if it's
anything like

Boxee, it's nice, but it's not Freevo - it's cluttered,
sluggish on my

old pentium4, and it doesn't record. Using Freevo to launch
Boxee or

Huludesktop is great, but not enough to make me want to get
rid of Freevo.

I am in the same boat as you, I'm hesitant to update my Freevo

installation anytime soon.

I would rather see the bugs present in 1.9 fixed before jumping
to a

new version that will probably have its own issues.

For example, Freevo crashes whenever it tries to play a file
with

accents or japanese in its name. Some plugins don't work. etc.
These

are all issues that haven't been fixed in a long time, and I
don't

think a new version would fix this.

This is going to be a nag email so I do apologies in advance....

Have you reported the issues (ie on the tracker, email doesn't
count)? If you don't report them they won't get fixed. I don't
have a great deal of

time to do much on freevo at the moment, but if there are bugs
there it

does provide an good reason to make some time available.

Or a patch that solves the problems would be even better, cuts out
the slow middleman (ie me).
