Very sorry, I would report issues, but I can't get SVN working. 1.9 is
pretty old. It was working on back in January, but couldn't get it
working.
Can you remind me what issues you where having?
If you have found some bugs on 1.9 that haven't already been reported, I
don't find trying them out on svn if you can describe how to produce the
issues/include some test data.
Is there a way to install kaa without touching the rest of my machine?
I've waxed brave enough to try the beta version but, if I botch it up, I
still need to use my Freevo. I was looking at:
http://doc.freevo.org/SourceSVNInstallation Any help appreciated, thanks.
dan@dan-desktop:~/kaa$ python setup.py install
--prefix=/home/dan/freevo-test
[setup] Entering kaa submodule base
ERROR: detected conflicting files from a previous kaa.base version.
To fix, you'll need to rm -rf the following directories:
1. build/
2. /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/kaa/
Once you delete #2, you'll need to reinstall all the kaa
sub-modules you use.
I have to admit to not having tried to do this, but I don't think you
should need to upgrade kaa to run the svn version (although I could be
wrong).

On a side note, I am in no rush to try

(For the life of me, I never could get
dvbstreamer working nor svn, but
1.9 works for my needs) And, my wife
will kill me if I "mess around
with that thing" anymore. Never tried
XBMC but, if it's anything like
Boxee, it's nice, but it's not Freevo -
it's cluttered, sluggish on my
old pentium4, and it doesn't record.
Using Freevo to launch Boxee or
Huludesktop is great, but not enough to
make me want to get rid of Freevo.
I am in the same boat as you, I'm hesitant to update
my Freevo
installation anytime soon.
I would rather see the bugs present in 1.9 fixed
before jumping to a
new version that will probably have its own issues.
For example, Freevo crashes whenever it tries to
play a file with
accents or japanese in its name. Some plugins don't
work. etc. These
are all issues that haven't been fixed in a long
time, and I don't
think a new version would fix this.
This is going to be a nag email so I do apologies in advance....
Have you reported the issues (ie on the tracker, email doesn't
count)? If you don't report them they won't get fixed. I don't
have a great deal of
time to do much on freevo at the moment, but if there are bugs
there it
does provide an good reason to make some time available.
Or a patch that solves the problems would be even better, cuts
out the slow middleman (ie me).
