I'm running Freevo using FB (uvesafb I think, been a while since I checked the actual config), simply because I couldn't figure out how to configure it any other way (and get it to work). :) The output is sent to my trusty 28" CRT TV, which I don't plan on exchanging any time soon. I don't currently have any HD sources, I don't currently plan on getting any HD sources, and as a result, it doesn't make sense to spend a significant chunk of money on a HD TV, when the current TV works fine. As to the 4:3 vs 16:9 debate, I am of the opinion that a 4:3 screen adding black borders above and below a 16:9 image is waaaay more comfortable to watch than a 16:9 screen adding black borders on the sides of a 4:3 image. At the same time, there is still a lot of content being broadcast in 4:3 (atleast around here), so I want to stay with my 4:3 TV until it falls apart.. :) As to the original topic of this thread.. Switching to Python 2.5 is fine by me. -- Morten Lied Johansen Smash forehead on keyboard to continue. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ Freevo-users mailing list Freevo-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freevo-users
