Thanks for the update and the info. I'd guessed that it must be using kaa.display. I know that there was a lot of confusion from people on the lists when kaa.display was first introduced. I think that most of those bugs are ironed out now but most people don't know what exactly it offers (hopefully Henne's video will help there) but they also don't know what the requirements are. It would be great if you could do a write up and post it here (I'll put it in the wiki if you want) detailing what the requirements are (freevo/kaa/mplayer/livepause versions), how to install, what config options are needed and what functionality is supported (e.g. just with mplayer or with mplayer + livepause). Thanks again for your work on this. What you and Henne have done will give a massive improvement to the usability of Freevo-1 and hopefully help attract a few more users (and potentially developers).
