Problems with Fedora 11 (x86_64)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I have a catalogue of issues with Fedora 11 - everything worked fine on
F10. As there are no F11 RPMs published here I am using the RPMs from
rpmfusion, you can find the source RPM's here:

http://6mata.com:8014/review/sp-auth-3.0.1-2.fc11.src.rpm
http://6mata.com:8014/review/sopcast-player-0.3.0-1.fc11.src.rpm

I love this app so hopefully I can help you resolve some of these issues!

Problem 1: Setting don't stick. 

Go to Preferences, make some changes, close. Re-open sopcast-player and the
settings do not seem to stick. It is also unclear whether it is picking up
settings from ~/.pySopCast/pySopCast.cfg at runtime as I get the message
"*** Unable to locate valid config! Falling back to auto-detection..." -
perhaps my config file is corrupt but if that is the case I feel it should
recreate a valid one? The RPM doesn't come with a "template" config file
and sopcast-player doesn't seem to create one on first-run.

Problem 2: Video buffers but I don't see it.

The video buffers but I don't see it displayed... this seems to be a
problem with mplayer perhaps?

When this happens and I close the app I get this dump:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/sopcast-player/lib/sopcast-player.py", line 1306, in on_exit
    config_manager.write()

update_statusbar
    self.status_bar.push(1, text)
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'push'

Problem 3: Video opens in 2 windows

Sometimes, and I haven't worked out when or why, the video DOES play but it
plays in both sopcast player and in another VLC window - at least it works,
but I don't feel it should open two windows! Closing the "extra" VLC window
also closes sopcast-player. No idea why it chooses to use VLC on these
occasions rather than mplayer...?

Problem 4: App doesn't close gracefully.

Closing the application doesn't actually kill it, for example even after
closing sopcast-player I still see this in the process list and have to
kill them manually:

$ ps aux | grep sop
cnolan    3360  0.0  0.0  91800  1252 ?        S    20:47   0:00 /bin/sh

sop://broker.sopcast.com:3912/6010 27878 44379

That's all for now!

Let me know if I can provide any further debugging.

1) download the sp-auth.tar.gz
2) untar it, you will find an executable sp-auth in the extracted folder
3) move this binary ./sp-auth to /usr/bin with name sp-sc (/usr/bin/sp-sc)

then everything is completed

that doesn't help anything, i already have sp-auth installed and none of the 
problems
above are helped by doing that.

Version 0.3.1, available in version control only for right now, should fix all 
the
issues noted.
