Folowwing a breif convo on freevo-devel with Jasan Tack. I wrote a helper do burn a cd from the command line, and from the command line it works fine.. (using the *exact* same code that is in the plugin).
I added os.waitpid(-1,WNOHANG) as per Jasons request, and what I found was that when running the code as a plugin from freevo run_child is not aware of the child, even though its pollign it! See my latest mail to the devel list for the sample code and output.. I'm stumped as to what could be happening here.. Maybe if the issue was only evident when booting into freevo I could ake a guess at whats going wrong.. But in this case they are both run from command line.. > The only difference between our setups seems to be the Python version: > Mick is running 2.3.3 and i'm running 2.2.3-7.
