Re: The future of Freevo 2.0

It told me I did indeed need to have a newer kaa and I was unable to
find a way around it. And, I'm a bit afraid to update kaa. Higher
on my priority list is to work on the wiki but I hope to someday
take another crack at running SVN. I, like all, have little time;
next I am sick, I will try to update the wiki with some more
pointers for newbies.

Speaking of time, thanks for yours Adam.

Can you remind me what issues you where having?

If you have found some bugs on 1.9 that haven't already been
reported, I don't find trying them out on svn if you can describe
how to produce the issues/include some test data.

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.

I have to admit to not having tried to do this, but I don't think
you should need to upgrade kaa to run the svn version (although I
could be wrong).

On a side note, I am in no rush to try

(For the life of me, I never could get

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).

Cheers
