Gst metadata is not an issue anymore.
Last issue regarding Twisted 8.0 compatibility has to do with the http client.

[Benjamin Kampmann (lightyear)]

We have a fixed http client for elisa/0.5 but we have since they change the behaviour of some parts sligthly, we need to go through all our code and fix the implementations on top of the http client as well. Like the commit http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~elisa-developers/elisa/http_client/revision/63 shows:

{{{#!python
read_dfr = response.stream.read()
}}}

needs to be changed to

{{{#!python
read_dfr = defer.maybeDeferred(
          BufferedStream(response.stream).readExactly)
}}}

I believe the issue is no more in Moovida upstream. On Ubuntu Karmic with Twisted 8.2 everything works fine.

Note that our windows build currently ships with Twisted 2.5.0. See bug #387847 for more details.
