for details.

NB: Remove the old version BEFORE you install FP.
==============
You can find the path by:
locate xbmcamcsyncmodules

If that does not work, then you must update your locate database:
As root run: locate -u
Go make coffee.Then run the locate command above again.

This will give you a directory something like:
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/fontypythonmodules

Use your root account to remove that folder:
sudo rm -fr /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/fontypythonmodules

(Be *very* careful what you type!)
You should be good to go now.

How to install
==============
Please see the end of this file if your install fails, there are
certain files that XAS relies upon.

I assume you have extracted the "tarball" already.
Change to the directory it creates.

As the root user enter this command:
python setup.py install

If you are on Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu/Debian etc:
sudo python setup.py install

This will create a program called 'xbmcamcsync'

Alternative installation
========================
Move the entire extracted folder to a folder that
is in your PATH, like ~/bin
Make a link to the fontypython script like this: (for e.g.)
tar -s ~/bin/xbmcamcsync-x.x.x/xbmcamcsync .
Make it executable:
chmod u+x xbmcamcsync

Now you should be good to go.
If it does not work, try closing your console and
starting it again.

Running the program
===================
To get started:
xbmcamcsync -h

Please read the help ( -h or Help menu in app ).

Troubleshooting the installation
================================
Fonty Python depends on several other libraries:
( These are minimum version numbers )
1. python2.4 to python2.6 (Not python3)
2. kaa.metadata


CHANGELOG
================
Sep 24 2009 : XAS version 0.1.0
* First release
* Generate into a csv file a list of files with the information about codecs etc ... and a cleaned named (from the filename)
