TagPlayer doesn't start / problem with CouchDB

[Gordian Kaulbarsch]

Trying to start TagPlayer from the applications menu: nothing happens.

On xterm the following output is shown:

and so on...

every few seconds another "ERROR:root:Starting couchdb failed on try..." is shown.

Installed via ppa
tagplayer (0.2.09-daily~r52~lucid1)
Python 2.6.5
Linux 2.6.32-29-generic-pae #58-Ubuntu SMP i686 GNU/Linux

This seems to be a couchdb problem rather than a tagplayer one. Anyway I have never tested TagPlayer with Lucid (I assume from the package that's what you're running), I will try to set up a VM to test it and see if it's an issue with couchdb in lucid. Did you have a working version of tagplayer on that machine before?

Now I have the new 0.2.09-daily~r53~lucid1.

First start seems to be nearly the same as before - but Ctrl-C worked.

On another try it works and it is great. Thank you!
