I have no plans to change the record server to use Twisted-2.5.0. The reason are: 1) Using Twisted as a RPC server is a bit of an overkill, using kaa.notifier or Python's RPC calls is easier. 2) There are other functions that have been deprecated in Twisted which are being used in the record server. 3) The record server has got more and more functionality and is now too big and complex that it is difficult to maintain. 4) I don't like that favourites and scheduled recordings are stored in the same unformatted xml file. Back porting Freevo's 2 record server is one possibility but depends on the dependencies of the rest of Freevo 2; need to look into this. The other option is to rewrite the record server but this is not a small undertaking and needs careful consideration. If back porting the record server from Freevo 2 brings in add other dependencies then I would prefer to rewrite it. Hope this is explains why updating the record server to use Twisted-2.5 has not been done and what the plans for the record server are.
