Hi Michael, Thanks for the reply - I don't know why my original post is no longer showing on the forums. I tried to edit it to add links to things I was mentioning (which was not allowed in my first post for anti-spam reasons). But it seems to have disappeared entirely. As for the buildme script - that is exactly what I am trying to avoid. A script which performs "make install" on a bunch of perl modules, which would lead to them not being tracked by the package manager is not really acceptable for the FreeBSD ports tree. Instead, I will ensure each of those modules is installed from the existing FreeBSD ports. However, the FreeBSD pull request you provided does indeed contain a patch for mediascan.c on FreeBSD - I will try adding this to see if it fixes my problem.
