[Request] KatchTV

Ravenman · 2010-04-08 01:43:48

Hi to everyone.

Could anyone package this?: KatchTV

KatchTV is an "Internet TV" application — it lets you watch TV for free, but not your standard mainstream shows. People all over the net make TV shows and publish them for free, just like on Youtube, only better.

Technically speaking, KatchTV is a media aggregator (also known as a broadcatcher), which is similar to a podcatcher, but with video. If you know Miro, KatchTV is similar.

A lot of thanks

Working on it

I've created a quick'n dirty package. I don't have KDE so I can't test it myself, but here's the package: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=36276
Let me know if there are any problems.

The package has been properly installed:

[user@archerpc ~]$ pacman -Qs katchtv
local/katchtv 0.91-1
    Katch TV

But I have some problems:

1. I can't found the shortcut to the KachTV in the KDE menu categories.

2. I can't launch the program from the cli.

3. I can found the filename in the /usr/bin directory, but I can't launch it.

[user@archerpc ~]$ cd /usr/bin/
[user@archerpc bin]$ sh KatchTV 
sh: KatchTV: No such file or directory
[user@archerpc bin]$ ls K*
KatchTV
[user@archerpc bin]$

For more information, just write me.

Thanks for your work.

Well, there is no KDE menu icon. I could create one, but that's not important right now. Since /usr/bin/KatchTV exists, you should be able to run it simply by executing "KatchTV". Could you try that please?

I write Kat and try to autocomplete ... and nothing happens.

I write the command and the system say "Command not found".

Sorry, that was an error on my end. It should be working now.
