Sent this lastnight but it hasn't come through yet..
-------------
I'm experiencing 2 problems and I'm sure there both really simple but
they've both got me stumped.
Firstly, (running the latest snapshot + one a few weeks old) after
running 'python setup.py install' freevo will not load from the
installed directory.
Here are the error messages:
Error: TV_RECORD_DIR not set
Please set TV_RECORD_DIR to the directory, where recordings should be
stored
or remove the tv plugin. Autoset variable to /root.
Error: VIDEO_SHOW_DATA_DIR not found
ROM_DRIVES: Auto-detected and added "('/mnt/cdrom',
'/dev/cdroms/cdrom0', 'CD-1')"
ROM_DRIVES: Auto-detected and added "('/mnt/dvd', '/dev/cdroms/cdrom1',
'DVD-2')"

What gets me is that its runs ok with ./freevo from the package dir, but
after the install its in /usr/bin/freevo and it wont run..
(which freevo = /usr/bin/freevo).
I'm sure its the 'right' freevo as the python install script isn't very
specific in its output, all I can see is 'copying
build/scripts-2.3/freevo -> /usr/bin...
Secondly, i'm running gentoo my @boot scripts seem to be 'ignoring' the
environment variables, producing the old 'Unable to open mouse error'..
And yes. I'm running on the frame buffer.
Anyway, this is the simpton,not necesarily the truth.. I set my boot
scripts to cat the current environment variables before running freevo,
and the no_mouse variable is set (see bellow). I'm stumped as as soon
as I log in i can run the same command maunally and freevo works fine..
