Hi guys. I just went back to the Freevo after a bit of a break and
realized that the video thumbnails aren't generating, automatically or
manually.
I've had a long standing issue (that nobody else seems to have?) where
kaa tries to import distutils.util and it throws an exception saying
there is no module util:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File
"/usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/freevo/util/videothumb.py", line
40, in <module>

File
"/usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/kaa/base/distribution/__init__.py",
line 2, in <module>
import distutils.util
ImportError: No module named util
I've always had luck fixing this by renaming util/distutils.py to
something else, but that was just a lucky guess long ago. I really have
no idea what's wrong or why that would 'fix' things.
Now, it looks like a whole new kettle of fish. Now I get this:

image.mode = 'RGBA'
AttributeError: can't set attribute
This is beyond my understanding at present... apparently you can get
image.mode but not set it? Regardless, it's causing the thumbnail
generation to die and not make any thumbnails for videos.
Hopefully this is an easy solution?
