[Freevo-users] Error Message, fresh install

[Richard M. Volpe II]

All,        I have been reading the mailing list for a few months now and have been taking the freevo install slowly.  I have been using debian linux for well over a year now.  I still consider myelsf a newbie.  My box is as follows.    AMD Athlon 2600+ 512 meg of RAM 120 gig HD TNT2 Ultra RIVA vid card with TV out Win 2 Go card bt848 chipset tv tuner with FM Asus A7S333 mobo   I am only trying to get TV video playback to work right now.  I am not even worrying about sound.  I have a monitor hooked up, so did not go TV out just yet.  I got my TV channels setup, but have not populated in the listings.  I am taking this one step at a time.  I notice when i run freevo i get a lot of wierd errors and i am unsure where to start looking to resolve them.  Below is a copy of my last log file.  I found this log file, because when i went into my tv guide which was working a few days ago i got a message to submit the contents of this file to this group, because freevo may now be corrupt.  I was hoping somebody can halp me.    Freevo start at Wed Aug  4 22:59:59 2004 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Error: VIDEO_SHOW_DATA_DIR not found ROM_DRIVES: Auto-detected and added "('/cdrom', '/dev/cdrom', 'CD-1')"   Please run 'freevo cache'   WARNING: /etc/freevo/lircrc not found!
