Ok I built a deb installer for the first version which will support avi files and torrent files.
Install this :
http://wardenclyffetower.com/MaemoFi...-1.1.3.all.deb
Then edit the /usr/share/applications/defaults.list file (as root) and change relevant mime types such as :
video/x-msvideo=hildon-dbus-switchboard.desktop
application/x-bittorrent=hildon-dbus-switchboard.desktop
There is issue an issue with file names containing certain special symbols, currently i support the special symbols '[' ']' and '+' ... the other special symbols will show up as char codes like %5B %5D so if it wont launch, look for that. Unless someone knows a better way i guess i will just convert a bunch of common symbol codes in later versions.
I didn't need to reboot after installing this... not sure if you will need to or not.
If you see popup notices but your file doesnt launch then load the dbus-switchboard.py from xterm, try again, and read xterm console for info which might help.
