Semi-techie Windows user here! The way I've been installing all the patches so far is to modify the .pm file using Wordpad. It's usually explicit what and where the changes need to be made. I managed to alter the BBCXMLparser .pm file this way and I think it works Ok, certainly didn't stop the app running. However my attempts to modify the HLS.pm met with failure as I was unsure what text had to be replaced, where, and with what, the end result being that the app wouldn't work at all. If you would be so kind as to publish the original .pm files (or relevant section) with the changes to be made highlighted in red and the revised text to be inserted, that would make it a lot easier to identify what needs to be altered. :) Many thanks! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PaulinPosset's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=63060 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53229 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
