[Alb]

Hello,
I downloaded this application: tv-player-gtk_1.0.5.tar.gz from: https://launchpad.net/tv-player , opened the archive obtaining these files and directories:

I tried to install it (on my VL 6.0 Light) by launching setup.py but unsuccessfully.
Can you let me know the right procedure?
Best Regards

Hi Alb,

If you want to run the program without installing, yo can just do

Code:

./tv-player

if you want to install, first become root and then

Code:

python ./setup.py

hope this helps

cheers

Unfortunately, README for that application is in a language I don't speak.

I tried following as root:
python setup.py build
python setup.py install

It installs, but at runtime it complains about main-gtk.py not being there(/usr/share/tv-player).
So I put it there manually.
Now it complains about something else missing.

Not sure what else to do...


ADDED:
The "something else" I mentioned is pygst.
You can google it to figure out what the heck it is. It might be related to this:
http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/modules/gst-python.html

Hello,
In the meantine I have tried this: ./tv-player and obtained:

alberto:$ ./tv-player
./tv-player: line 2: cd: /usr/share/tvplayer: No such file or directory
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "main-gtk.py", line 25, in <module>
    import pygst
ImportError: No module named pygst

As for gstreamer I want to take a look around, just, if needed, to install it, unfortunately I am an absolute beginner in such things.

Thanks a lot,
Alberto
P.S. I wanted to use TV-Player just to get round the need to install moonlight just to listen to, later, radio broadcasting from the site of RAI (Italian Broaadcasting Corporation). In fact, some time ago I could do that by means of Firefox and Mplayer, but now they changed procedure and you are obliged to install MS Silverlight and for Linux users Moonlight + MS media pack (codecs). At first I did that, but I was continuously requested to install those codecs even if they were already successfully installed (!?). Perhaps there is a bug in their program.

Hello,
I was told that, in order to make TV-Player work I have to install all these dependencies: phython (>=2.6), pygtk, flvstreamer, libmms0, gst-base, gst-good, gst-bad, gst-ugly, python-gst (this should be gst-python, instead, I think). I have some of them, but I'm still missing python 2.6, flvstreamer, libmms0.
Besides I don't know if I really need gstreamer, that I previously installed.
Any suggestions?
Best Regards

you need to make sure you have gst-python installed, and yes... of course, python.
