Oh, one other thing I got burned with today :) tvguide updating! I would love to see freevo have a robust built in mechanism for getting and updating TV guide information. As it stands at the moment people, like myself, tend to use a rather hacky cron job approach. This is a big hurdle for non-linux people as cron scares people ;) Also because I've never bothered to write anything better my cron job just overwrites the xml file each day. If the download fails due to dropped network connection or something then I have a corrupt TV guide and I'm stuffed until I can ssh into the box and fix it, or until the next day and the download runs again. I would love freevo to have a downloader that checks the download, updates as appropriate, has the option to try again from the user interface etc. possibly even the option to configure several sources with use in sequence so that if one fails it can fall back to another (e.g. for those of us with DVB, I would like radio times normally, but if that fails getting the info from DVB would be good) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
