Hello,
I don't know if it's the right place to ask question but I don't like IRC ^^
I've tested Elisa (ubuntu gutsy packages) on the computer hooked on my TV
but there are a few limitations that make it quite unusable for me (the main
issues being the subtitles handling and the fact that file/folders names are
truncated which isn't very useful when trying to watch videos of some tv
show since you don't always get to see the season and episode number). Other
than that, elisa is a very promising project and one of the big selling
point for me, compared to mythtv and freevo, was that installing the deb and
running it just worked with HAL support and without too much conf file
tweaking.
I'd like to check out if the current SVN version would be something I could
use on my TV (meaning the bugs that annoy me are fixed) or if I should
create new tickets or try to write some plugins myself.
When I run elisa.py on a "fresh" update (i.e. without any ~/.elisa folder),
the programs fails to load a component. I've tried each and every *.conf
from the sample_config folder and they all fail on some exception at some
point. Usually something about a frontend that can't be created.
By the way, on hal_service.py, line 62, on my version of dbus (0.82.4 from
Debian sid), I don't have a property "message" for DBusException, I've
modified that line (you don't use the value of message anyway) to let elisa
fail at some later point.
My question/suggestion is basically: does elisa run straight out of svn
(meaning i messed up somewhere) or is it normal that it doesn't work on my
machine ?
Thank you for having read this awfully long email,
Patrick
