Thanks, that does sound interesting, I think I'd like to try that someday. How difficult is the config?

Re: [Freevo-users] The future of Freevo 2.0
It told me I did indeed need to have a newer kaa and I was unable to find a way around it. And, I'm a bit afraid to update kaa. Higher on my priority list is to work on the wiki but I hope to someday take another crack at running SVN. I, like all, have little time; next I am sick, I will try to update the wiki with some more pointers for newbies. Speaking of time, thanks for yours Adam.

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).

(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). Cheers Adam

I think this is true and unfortunately the two previous attempts (including piren) have not been kept up to date. You can look at openbricks.org There is already a package with freevo 1.9.0 , dvbstreamer and a (very) small script to configure it. I can provide a config file to build it.
