hey everyone.

need some help with tvc player. was working before but since updating to 1.3 it just opens and closes. anyone having this too?

cheers

steve

i am having the same issue. i posted a thread a few days ago about this but no solution as yet.

just read your thread. glad im not the only one. so far ive tried reinstalling tvc and 1.3 but with no luck..........

I installed TV Catchup Player yesterday on PR1.3 and it's working fine for me so far.

Perhaps running it from an Xterm might yield some clues as to why it's failing:
$ python /opt/tvcplayer/tvcplayer.py

Or maybe you could delete TVC's preferences and fill in your account details again:
$ rm -r /home/user/.tvcplayer

tried running it from the term and get the following


BusyBox v1.10.2 (Debian 3:1.10.2.legal-1osso30+0m5) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

~ $ python /opt/tvcplayer/tvcplayer.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/opt/tvcplayer/tvcplayer.py", line 5, in <module>
from PyQt4 import QtGui,QtCore,QtMaemo5
RuntimeError: the sip module implements API v8.0 but the PyQt4.QtGui module requires API v7.1
~ $

a little confused? i know i am.

OK. That's a known problem with the Python libraries on PR1.3.
More information (and a fix, for the more knowledgeable user) here.

many thanks for your help. Your solution worked for me and also a few other apps that had aslo stopped working....for example maelophone now also works.

as described in the link the problem relates to python2.5-sip4/python2.5-qt4


which can be worked around by downgrading to the package via root with the following command:

apt-get install python2.5-sip4=4.10.5-maemo0


once again many many thanks.

perfect. the above worked for me to. many thanks :-)
