I've just added a 0.2.3 tarball in the downloads section.
Could you give it a try ?

The real problem is now being reported:
ERROR:__main__:Could not generate a cache folder at the home location using XDG
(freedesktop). You must specify a --cache-config folder where the cach
e and config will be located (always use the same folder).
1) I have no clue what the home location should be
2) I have no clue what the name of the file should be
suggestion: check for windows platform and just put it in the
$homepath$\periscope\config

Ok, the log message could have been more explicit.
I will use:
os.path.join(os.path.expanduser("~"), ".config", "periscope")
if the desktop is not XDG compatible.
And only if this doesn't work, show the warning.
0.2.4 should be online tomorrow.

Note that in the meantime, you can do:
periscope --cache-folder C:/tmp <your_video.avi>

Thanks for the workaround. I will let you know if 0.2.4 works when it is
available.

0.2.4 is now available. Could you give it another try without using the
--cache-folder option ?
Thanks

0.2.4 Created the default config file automatically. Looks like you can close
the issue since periscope works immediately after setup.py install.

I just did a fresh install from the trunk and the config file was not created
automatically (re #8). This is on Win7 64bit.
Error message is good enough to know that a config file is needed. But I can't
find any documentation on what it should contain ;)
Using the --cache-folder switch for now.
But can't there be a fallback to using the system wide tmp directory?
Cheers
