Hi georgia_tech_swagger
do you follow the dev mailing list?, There was some discussion about Python 2.6 and packages that had issues with it,.

No, I have enough email to pour over between work, UCLUG, and the Southeast Linuxfest. I don't want to add to that problem.

It looks hopelessly impossible to rebuild everything back to 2.5 ... especially when you're running 2.6, because it will install to the python 2.6 site packages folder. Ugh.

How to fix Miro: (CRAZY MAD PROPS to habnabit and Rhamphoryncus in #python on IRC Freenode):

Open up /usr/bin/miro.real ... make the following changes:

Change this (near the top):

import sys
import os.path
import optparse

To this:

import miro.feedparser
import miro.storedatabase
import sys
sys.modules['feedparser'] = miro.feedparser
sys.modules['storedatabase'] = miro.storedatabase
import os.path
import optparse

SUCCESS!

I see that the issue covered in this thread is solved, but does any one here know:

- what am I missing since Miro is unable to reproduce sound?

Video works, all kinds of features also, but I've got no sound what so ever. Doesn't matter what file I open. And videos that works fine in VLC and all the other common video applications are totally muted in Miro.

Any suggestions? Might there be a not listed dependency library?

Edit: SOLVED

Miro does for some reason not choose the default sound-device but an optional USB sound-device I have plugged in. Hm, so know I have to figure out how Miro chooses sound-devices and why it doesn't adhere to system defaults.

Miro uses xine for playback by defaut. So you can either try changing the playback engine in preferences, or your search now changes to xine.

I can`t test the new package (miro-1.2.8-2) until Friday, but i see that it works for others. That`s why I marked it solved. Anyway, if I`ll get some problems with miro, it will be another version , but I hope it`s ok.

Great thanks for your work!!!
