I never looked under the hood .. I just assumed they used the same downloaders .. but that makes sense. As for the clash .. the only thing that jumps out at me is that I have a Hauppauge tv card which has a tsr component that loads up on boot. Otherwise I try to run a lean system. But .. the Hauppauge software doesn't use ffmpeg AFAIK.

Mind you, it's NOT downloading the video that fails but the xml file .. and the old napper still happily dls the xml file.

Oh well .. life wasn't meant to be easy.
