One of the reasons is that local_conf.py is not very structured. It looks like kind of a mess, imho (over a 1000 lines of config items!). Maybe it would be a good idea to split the local_conf.py into seperate sections and store the sections in different files in a subdirectory. One could have e.g. a directory "freevo/conf/" with files like: 00-main.py 01-audio.py 02-video.py 03-mplayer.py 04-xine.py 05-ivtv.py 06-shutdown.py 07-epg.py 08-recordserver.py 09-tv.py .... This structure of course has to be worked out by someone. At startup, Freevo could scan the conf/ directory, concat all files in alphabetical order to the local_conf.py file and parse that one. This approach is similar to how some tools handle their config files in /etc/. Maybe this conflicts with how Freevo 2.0 does it, but if Freevo 1.x is here to stay for a while, it would be good to think the config issue through. - Richard. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Duncan Webb (duncanwebb) Date: 2006-09-29 22:58 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=104395 I think that this would be a very good thing to do, both with freevo_config and local_config. Any takers? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=446895&aid=1567942&group_id=46652 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
