...let me try this.I`ll report back

Re: How do I install 'hls-player' on N900
 

Most likely because you have not installed python-twisted. Twisted is a networking engine for python.
Here is a list of the python modules available for fremantle: http://bit.ly/94U7XC

You can install a module with the following command (you need to be root):
apt-get install <module Name>

Thank you for this!Now I don`t have any twisted internet errors, however I have another error :) its a syntax error this time.

I type 'sudo gainroot' and I`m at home/user.There I have the player.py and all the files from the hls player.

I type 'python player.py <url>' and I get '/bin/sh: syntax error: newline unexpected'

Any help?

Thanks (I`m trying to learn some basic linux commands, I`m a noob so bear with me)

Try to enclose the url with single quotes or double quotes, otherwise the shell tries to interpret the url as a command and this may be the source of your problem.

Re: How do I install 'hls-player' on N900
 

This is driving me nuts!

I`ve tried it with the quotes, now it says:

ImportError: No module named HLS
/home/user # hls-player
/bin/sh: hls-player: not found

Do I have to put any files in /bin/sh ???
I have the required .py files in /home/user

Thanks

Re: How do I install 'hls-player' on N900
 

This is what the author says about the hls-player.In the author`s tar file, there is no such a thing as 'hls-player'!Only python files (player.py, setup.py, bla bla)....Am I missing something here???The python player.py command doesn`t work because it needs the hls-player in /bin/sh???
