Looks like a kaa.base error, I think this may have been resolved
recently.
Not fixed in git as of today. A quick glance at the code suggests that
this chunk of code assumes IPv6 somehow. I have a ipv4 only system
(kernel w/ CONFIG_IPV6 not set). Do I _have_ to enable v6 to get this to
work? (Being a c guy, I know there are version independent c socket
interfaces. I would assume the same holds for python. How come version
specific coding here?)

Maybe that should not throw a stack trace, but rather just return with a
oneliner
informative error message? But maybe current behaviour is desired by the
devs? (I always
assumed that stacktraces are either an explicitly enabled debug feature,
or a sign
of uncaught exceptions (i.e. sloppy coding)).
Now, how to get the recordserver to start without V6 support...

I have a ipv4 only system (kernel w/ CONFIG_IPV6 not set). Do I_have_ to enable v6 to get this to work? Ah, well this explains why socket(AF_INET6, SOCK_STREAM) fails. Yes, kaa.Socket assumes a dual stack OS. I have been meaning to change this for an unrelated reason. (That is, I'm not terribly interested in supporting the extremely rare case of a non-IPv6 capable Linux system, but there are some functional problems with using v4-mapped addresses on a v6 socket that I wasn't aware of when I wrote this code.) So until I make those changes, I'm afraid you will need CONFIG_IPV6 for this to work. (Being a c guy, I know there are version independent c socket interfaces. I would assume the same holds for python. How come version specific coding here?) Because dual stack is ubiquitous, especially on Linux, and because v6 sockets can support both v6 and v4 (via IPv4-mapped addresses) connections, and for those reasons it seemed like a good idea at the time (which was before I read [1]).

Hi,
I recently took the step to upgrade from 1.9.0 to freevo1-git. Three
issues encountered so far.
1) The Manage Recordings folder shows only some of the files in my /
media/tv directory. It used to show all files. I have a habit
of just dropping 'stuff I receive' in that folder for later viewing and
no
that doesn't work any more. I have hunch that might be because
those files lack fxd metadata (they never will have fxds).
Well the RecordingsManager plugin has been altered in that regard, but I
would add that the scenario you describe isn't the way it is designed to
work so I wouldn't say it will work without issue
Ok. Fair enough. Any chance it can be made to pick up stuff as it
appears, or is the directory to be considered 'managed' territory
in the future?
The directory will be managed in future, although there is still likely to be
.fxd files created, these won't be used to populate the recording manager list.
The reason for this is that the primary purpose of the Recordings
Manager is taking a flat structure generated by the recordserver and
giving it some structure.
The one thing that got me hooked in freevo (vs mythtv when I got
my htpc) was the transparency it gave when comparing the its view
of the world with what I could see myself with a simple 'ls' and 'cat'.
Entrusting mythtv's sqldb with all my metadata was not really an
appealing prospect.
I did write a v small plugin a while ago to display a 'Downloaded TV' option in
the TV menu which was a just another way to browse a different directory
contain downloaded TV content.
Plus you always have the option of auto generating the .fxd files for
your content when you add them to the directory.
2) I have subdirs in my /media/tv. Now none of them are shown in the
menu.
Shown where? Not sure what you are saying here?
The Manage Recordings menu. Whenever I get a batch of avi:s from
somewhere, I place them in a folder (mkdir, cp), to be viewed like any
other show.
Your best option here is to create the fxd files (should be reasonably
easy to auto generate, base on name of folder and file name). and add
them to the TV recordings folder in a flat structure. The important
thing to note is that the video files don't have to be in the same
directory as the .fxd files, so you can leave your video files in the
folder you downloaded them to but still access them from the recordings
manager.
3) What about the epg? It's now all empty. Any guides as to what
(re)configuration one has to do? (analog tv)
