More than suspicious, clearly not set. It would be better if Richard moved all the config stuff into a config function then they can have sensible defaults and the freevo plugins -i can report the options. > I already did convert_config, but something changed.

Always the first thing to do when something is a it suspect. More than likely it is a problem with the XINE_TV_VO_DEV setting. TV_RECORD_SCHEDULE setting points to the record_schedule.xml and by default it is: TV_RECORD_SCHEDULE = FREEVO_STATICDIR + '/record_schedule.xml' staticdir should be logging something like: config.py (512): staticdir: /var/lib /var/lib/freevo so TV_RECORD_SCHEDULE = '/var/lib/freevo/record_schedule.xml' Duncan ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
