Mick,
I used the USB plugin last year with an older version of Freevo with
succes. Haven't used it since. I saw dischi made some changes in this
plugin but i shall try again and hookup my digicam and let you know
if i get it going again. It could be that you need some additional
usb kernel stuff to get it going.
