hei Dishi and all remainig freevo users I as well learned Python while hacking freevo, and I use still 1.9.2b since I wrote some plugins for my favorite remote and for my 2 line LCD and for my audio and for gaming, and and and... and this is the reason why I am waiting for my next media center experiments with whatever... and I am afrait that I will miss the great flexibility of Freevo! have a nice time Andreas
