The patch i posted to the dev-list was compatible with 1.5.x afaik, and probably is compatible with a lot earlier versions too.
maybe. i don't know the sourcecode very well and for some reason the patch didn't apply properly against my cvs checkout. so i patched by hand, because the changes weren't a lot. for that reason i patched against a version that i knew would work with my 1.5 version.
I have to disagree on the outsourcing though. Imdb doesn't break very often (i think max once a year) and outsourcing the imdb stuff doesn't mean the TTP (Time To Patch) will decrease dramatically. And afaik, a 1.5.3 release of freevo is sheduled to solve this problem (and some other small bugfixes).
well...to me it feels more something like at least twice a year. you are definately right about the TTP. you are really quick with that. the problem is that freevo tends to change a lot internally and in the past it really was a lot of work to backport an imdb patch to an old freevo version, because the imdb parser still depends on freevo classes. it would be easier to replace a file/imdb-parser-class with no dependencies, but with a well defined interface which doesn't change. thats basically what i would _like_ to see, because i don't want to wait for an updated freevo-bugfix-release which might take weeks or months before it is ready after the imdb patch is done when i use the script regulary. i don't care whether it is freevo's (your) own code or imdbpy. i just care about how easy it is to make it work again asap.
