rtv not using config file about rtv

[Brobin]

Is your $XDG_CONFIG_HOME set to something that is not ~/.config/?

[seanmckaybeck]

Nope it is not set

[Brobin]

Interesting. This was just updated in a pull request yesterday. Does the fallback file ~/.rtv work as expected?

[seanmckaybeck]

I did not know there was a fallback file. Do I set the values in there in the same way?

[Brobin]

Yeah the same way. This was how the config worked in 1.1. It was left in there to keep things compatible.

Hi. If you've installed using pip install, check the README at https://pypi.python.org/pypi/rtv/. There have been some recent changes on the github branch that are not yet active in the pip version.

[seanmckaybeck]

Oh maybe that is it then. I guess I could install the development version. When will it be updated with pypi?

[Brobin]

You can also install the github version with pip like this.

pip install git+https://github.com/michael-lazar/rtv.git

[seanmckaybeck]

Will I be able to update to the latest version that way without using git?

[seanmckaybeck]

Also using .rtv instead of ~/.config/rtv/rtv.cfg solved the problem

[michael-lazar]

Heads up, the pypi version just got upped to v1.2.

The default behavior is now to search ~/.config/rtv/rtv.cfg first, and then fall back to ~/.rtv. Please let me know if you experience any problems with this in the future.
