Hi again, and thanks for all your input. I digged further, but did not solve the recordserver-not-running-problem yet.

What happens? I did try to do so, but it's a little difficult since I normally have no keyboard or mouse attached to my freevo box, and when I did attach my keyboard, ratpoison wouldn't work because of updated, incompatible libraries.. That's when I stopped trying and thus could not report anything more. I will be able to solve this problem on my own, I will only report if Freevo again mistakes a VCD as a CDROM. BTW: When building kaa, I notice it looks for an include file post/fork.h in xine.c that I cannot find any traces of. Yes, I read your commit log containing words like "mess" and "half-working" - I thought I mention it even though.. http://www.mail-archive.com/freevo-cvslog%40lists.sourceforge.net/msg03044.html > > - When listening to music with the detached audio player, > > o the player's idlebar area is very small; since it was totally garbled > > two days ago, I guess that's work in progress. > > Someone else reported detach is broken.

And it does detect my card; I checked that in the debug logs.

And you don't have ~/.mbus? Strange. Add > some debug in mcomm.py were the file is created. Aah. .mbus was created in the wrong home directory. (OK, I set up a second user with the same UID for separating the Freevo configurations without any permission hassle in my media directories or in /var/log/freevo.) Checking more, I realized multicast was disabled in the kernel. I re-compiled it, but that did not make a difference. Maybe I am too tired and overlooking something. I even set up the route, although I thought that was desirable, but not necessary? I also reset my iptables just to be sure.

Pinging the 224.255.222.240 address does not work BTW. b) whether MBUS is working? (Would be nice if the {record,web}server would give an error instead of silently running but failing to contact each other. Or should they?) -- Ciao, / / .o. /--/ ..o / / ANS ooo
