Elisa Media Center

[jtang613]

While the Elisa Media Center application is marketed as a next-gen, 'do-it-all' media center - and at first glance appears to be a beautiful-looking piece of software, the fact that very few people have ever successfully run the application speaks volumes about its development maturity.

Over the last year, I've tried several times to install and run it on F7, F8 and now F9:
- install from rpm: FAILED (program crashes when run)
- install from src: FAILED (program crashes when run)
- install from svn: FAILED (program crashes when run)

Now this *could* be a Fedora-specific issue... in which case shame on the packagers. Regardless, much promised - little delivered.

My conclusion: steer clear. Find an application that is worth your time. This one's only half-baked.

Same here. I was hoping it would be finnally working in F9, but no such luck. I can't find any info to fix the problem except recommendations to compile from SVN. But that didn't work either.

The Elisa package in the F9 repository isn't the latest version.

The Elisa package in the F9 repository isn't the latest version.
Regardless, the latest version direct from Fluendo doesn't work either.

same problem here. I've tried fedora 8 and 9. not so sure it's worth the effort of trying downloading the source from svn

I found out there are unofficial elisa rpm's for fedora on freshrpms:

I install elisa 5.5 from rpm and it works finnally, yay! Lots of warnings in the console, but at least it works.
