Thank you for your fast reply. Strange thing is that it used to work just
fine. What might have changed in Freevo in such a way that  'BeautifulSoup'
will not to work anymore? Or might a downgrade of BeautifulSoup help to find
a version of it that will be compatible w/ Freevo.

I'll let you know if the prob. still persists in the svn version. Do other
Freevo-ers have this problem with searching the IMDB for a DVD?
