Any thoughts on what is causing this to happen? I appreciate the advice.

Having trouble with cpan, I'm not too familiar with either linux or perl.
I'm trying to install this script on a debian squeeze box. What am i doing wrong? hehe

Edit: sorted this by updating cpan.
Now however, where can i find this missing file?
could not find ParserDetails.ini in /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1/XML/SAX

And how do I upgrade the config without renewed manual updates? Are the new options appended to the old config?

• You can put all your changes in a secondary config, then you would only need to update the new config with one line at the end pointing to your config;
• You can just replace the config file with your old one, but new features will just run with their default settings; or,
• You could just use arguments to configure it when starting SortTV (for example, in your crontab).

I am a user of this Script since the beginning and I have some thoughts

Would it be possible to package this script as an xbmc add-on?

I think it would have many benefits: Easier distribution of updates + Large increase in users (more donations + developments!!), by making it available in the official xbmc repo.

Here were my thoughts:

People have been asking for a GUI for settings, well an XBMC GUI would be cross-compatible, would allow easy set up of SortTV and would allow easy access to Scheduling of Script + Instant execution of the script through XBMC itself.

Example: Trak.tv Addon Setting: (Start On Boot)


Example: XBMC Auto-Updater: (Scheduled Execution)


Example: Cinema Experience Script: (Easy Script Set-Up)


I know that the script is written in perl and that XBMC addons are python, but there are two options that could make it work:

1. Calling the Perl Script from Python
some articles are around explaining methods for this (Google)

2. Changing Script language
a massive rewrite I know but it would leave possibly more options for developing the script to really tie in to XBMC.

Anyway I think it would be a great progression for an already great script.

The Capt.

Cant wait to see that.
But if i may add my stone. The XBMC plugin should be able to connect to an already running SortTV addon.
For example for me the computer running sortTV(file/download server) is not the same as the one running XBMC. And i dont want sorttv to run my XBMC machine as it would use CPU and mostly because moving files would be so much longer (over network)

That s only my point of view anyway
