CeeMedia 0.5.2 preview version

All of the above mentioned bugs are fixed and the application in general is much more stable now in the just released pre5-version.

A list of changes are:

- A graphical error on the shelves in shelf-view has been fixed

- The shadows behind covers in the shelf-view have been removed
  for now, this "fixes" the graphical error

- Several bug-fixes in the shelf-view now makes it fully operational

- Removing a movie that contains sub-movies now releases the sub-movies

- Logo and version number in the about-window doesn't work on
  some machines, there is now better detection of this

- Translation: Russian translation updated - Basil Shubin
   French translation added - Jérome Perrin

- CeeMedia now catches errors in plugins and displays an error
  instead of freezing - Jérome Perrin

- Pressing Escape in the search results and searching again now
  works thanks to Jérome Perrin

- An error is displayed if not connected to the internet, instead
  of freezing thanks to Basil Shubin

- Deleting a movie now has a confirm dialog - Jérome Perrin

- Plugins: New plugin that imports movies from a given
   directory - Jérome Perrin
  Above mentioned plugin enhanced to support split
   movies
  All Movie Guide now handles release dates that
   use HTML colour-tags

- The edit menu now has more precise names

- Rating now rounds up in both edit-window and list-view

- A bug in converting HTML-characters is now fixed

There is however a graphical bug when changing size using the shelf-view. It can be fixed by opening the covercontainer.py file and, in line 468, replacing "height=height" with "height=r1.height". I'm sorry for this small inconvenience.

I would like to use this software, but I cannot.
After installing the 0.5.2 preview I got the following error:

CeeMedia.py:554: SyntaxWarning: local name 'self' in 'setup_program' shadows use of 'self' as global in nested scope 'lambda'
def setup_program(self):
CeeMedia.py:1334: SyntaxWarning: local name 'nr' in 'treeviewmovies_select_movie' shadows use of 'nr' as global in nested scope 'search'

I thought, "Ok, let's try the 0.5.1 version". So I did. I installed the Debian Package, tried to start ceemedia and got following error:


/usr/bin/ceemedia: line 4: /usr/share/ceemedia/CeeMedia: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/ceemedia: line 4: exec: /usr/share/ceemedia/CeeMedia: cannot execute: No such file or directory


This was pretty easy to fix, it was because you added a ./../CeeMedia into your script, though you cd to src/. I fixed that problem and tried it again. Then I was gettting the following:


Traceback (most recent call last):
File "CeeMedia.py", line 6, in ?
import gtk, gobject
ImportError: No module named gtk


And now, I really am not keen on getting this error (and possibly ten others which will follow) fixed.
Sorry, the screenshots look very nice but the software is just too hard to install.
