Hulu does not play / error attached

[jaydonoghue]

Hi,

I tried to use Hulu today and it did not work. My boxee.log file contained the following:

16:41:15 T:4691840 M: 50085888   ERROR: Keymapping error: no such action '-' defined

I am running python 2.5 and the code indicates a 2.4 version of a library loaded. Is Boxee compatible with 2.5?

I am using Boxee on Fedora 8, compiled from source. Other streams (apple trailer, cnn) work OK.

Thanks,

boxee scripts are only compatible with 2.4, but boxee does not use the installed version of python from your own machine.

it should compile and use it's own. sounds like a linking problem.
did you configure with --prefix="/opt/boxee" and make sure to copy the 'system' directory?

Thank you -- I copied the entire system directory to my /opt/boxee directory and things work now.

Is there an equivalent to "make install" or a script that describes what files need to go where from the source tree? The first version of boxee included make_debian.sh, but this is now quite out of date (that is what I used this time around and it clearly missed some stuff)

[agentlame]

no install script, no.... but here is a list:

directories:
bin
boxee
language
media
plugins
screensavers
scripts
skin
sounds
system
userdata (symlink to UserData)
UserData
visualisations

files:
xbmc-xrandr
run-boxee-desktop
Boxee
give_me_my_mouse_back

Thanks for the list. Any way to give a ls -lR of /opt/boxee so I know where everything is supposed to go (and what really isnt required?)

Ultimately, it would be nice to make this into an RPM, but at the least, a "make install" equivalent can be done in the meantime.

(you can ignore the stuff in /plugins/ as that is stuff i've added.)
