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. <br>
<br>
Speaking of time, thanks for yours Adam. <br>

Can you remind me what issues you where having?
<br>
<br>
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.

To fix, you'll need to rm -rf the following directories:
<br>
1. build/
<br>
2. /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/kaa/
<br>
<br>
Once you delete #2, you'll need to reinstall all the kaa
<br>
sub-modules you use.

<br>
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
<br>
1.9 works for my needs) And, my wife
<br>
will kill me if I "mess around
<br>
with that thing" anymore. Never tried
<br>
XBMC but, if it's anything like
<br>
Boxee, it's nice, but it's not Freevo -
<br>
it's cluttered, sluggish on my
<br>
old pentium4, and it doesn't record.
<br>
Using Freevo to launch Boxee or
<br>
Huludesktop is great, but not enough to
<br>
make me want to get rid of Freevo.
<br>
<br>
<br>
I am in the same boat as you, I'm hesitant to update
<br>
my Freevo
<br>
installation anytime soon.
<br>
I would rather see the bugs present in 1.9 fixed
<br>
before jumping to a
<br>
new version that will probably have its own issues.
<br>
For example, Freevo crashes whenever it tries to
<br>
play a file with
<br>
accents or japanese in its name. Some plugins don't
<br>
work. etc. These
<br>
are all issues that haven't been fixed in a long
<br>
time, and I don't
<br>
think a new version would fix this.
<br>
<br>
This is going to be a nag email so I do apologies in
advance....
<br>
<br>
Have you reported the issues (ie on the tracker, email
doesn't
<br>
count)? If you don't report them they won't get fixed. I
don't
<br>
have a great deal of
<br>
time to do much on freevo at the moment, but if there are
bugs
<br>
there it
<br>
does provide an good reason to make some time available.
<br>
Or a patch that solves the problems would be even better,
cuts
<br>
out the slow middleman (ie me).
<br>
<br>
Cheers
