How do I activate this feature? I don't see any changes in my two Freevo
boxes. I installed Kaa from latest svn and it says kaa.display is
compiled.

It works. The IMDB plugin never worked for me but now it worked perfectly.

Related with that I use the Filmaffinity plugin that fetches info from
the Filmaffinity spanish site and the plugin crashes with BeautifulSoup
3.1 version but it works with 3.0.8.  The flaw is in BeautifulSoup. It
changed the HTML parser and now it fails to parse the Filmaffinity HTML
code.

Imdbpy, at least in Debian, installs lxml that can clean an HTML source.
I have used that function in Filmaffinity plugin and BeautifulSoup 3.1
now works correctly. It's OK to use that lxml function? or maybe there
is something in core python that does the same thing.

It works but I use the hackish alphablending feature and the covers
flick when changing items. It looked better before because the images
fade one into another.

I'll have to update the spanish translation. There are strings not

I found some bugs.

In geexbox theme the search font is white and cannot be seen as the
background is white too.
If I press "More videos" in the listing I get a traceback.
If I put a link to a video in YOUTUBE_VIDEOS I get a traceback when clicked.

Other bugs I've found:

If I shutdown with SHUTDOWN_NEW_STYLE_DIALOG = True in the config I get a
traceback.
If I press F10 key, that should take a snapshot, I get a traceback.

I have an USB disk that is mounted with automount. The first time I enter to
the "Movies" section I get all the directories in the first menu page. Then,
I go forward and backwards or enter Youtube or Apple plugins and the menu
gets right.

First time
----------
- Movies
- USB
- Data
- More movies
- New movies
- Youtube
- Apple trailers

When coming back
----------------
- Movies
- USB
   - Data
   - More movies
   - New movies
- Youtube
- Apple trailers

I'll post the bugs in the bugtracker this afternoon.

Thanks for the good work.
