Please, Dischi. I was making fun of myself. Freevo has better documentation (and on-line support) than most other products I use (including commercial ones).
I just pointed out the various ways that a budding user (myself) can make life worse for themselves. My major problems have been mixing 1.3.4, 1.4-rc1 binary install and 1.4.x cvs versions. In the end, most problems have been solved (no matter how bizzarre) by noticing wrong paths, duplicate files (editing the wrong ones) and general configuration inconsistencies. As soon as I can, I'll contribute something. One possibly non-interesting plugin I've been wanting to write is an ebook-reader; txt/doc/pdf/ps, with magnifying for people with bad eyesight, etc. It wouldn't be too hard .. I think :) I'll get back with it as soon as I can.

If you have more than one Python version, you need all modules installed in one. It's not our fault, it's the way Python handles this. > c) do have just one freevo_config.py instead of the usual four in > /root/.freevo, /usr/share/freevo, /usr/local/share/freevo and > /root/cvs-freevo. Imagine that huh? No, I can't image that. You should only have _one_ freevo_config.py. If you have more than one version of Freevo (I have, one for usage, one for testing), each has it's own freevo_config.py. But Freevo knows where to find this file, you don't have a choice here. > My only motto concerning freevo as of right now is this; If I think I've > read the manual - I clearly haven't.
