Anyone? this is really important as it will allow the UK folks to stream .m3u8 files from catchup tv....FREE TV FOR EVERYBODY!

Your ability to watch free TV is not important to me.

if its askng for a password u should install rootsh, check in the downloads section, use the link there.

I`ve already done it.I`ve install rootsh when I installed winscp.Do I have to install ti again?I have total access to my files through wifi with winscp.That means rootsh works right?

i think youre talkng about something else, install it on your phone then try the sudo gainroot command then you'll have what the phone calls 'superuser' priviledges

I think rootsh is installed because when i type sudo gainroot in xterminal I go straight to home/user....does this mean I have superuser priviledges?

My problem is how do I go about installing the setup.py file ( and the hls files in the folder) on my phone? Do I copy the files on the phone somewhere and excecute the sudo python setup.py install command?

oh yeah well in that case you do have those priviledges. im not too familiar with python. but when installing .deb files i download them onto my device then run the command dpkg -i /ilepath/filename.deb then if anythng goes wrong i run dpkg --configure -a. try googling it mate
