Is freevo functional other than for TV recording? The rest of the modules should work. I am not using the scheduling stuff since I don't get xmltv output where I am, but I think it's not really working (up to -pre4) except in CVS. > package and massaged the paths in the freevo source to point to them > (even the RPM of freevo points to a non-existent mencoder), and when I > run the generated command from the commandline, it does work. > Are you referring to VCR_CMD in freevo_config.py? I think that's obsolete. Freevo doesn't use that even in -pre4 AFAIK. > I feel like I've missed some huge section of the > documentation/installguide/faq/whatever.
