Python image library runtime error
#1
hi,

i'm new to python development, but have developed a little web-based python interface to nebula's digitv digital recorder. the nebula app, running on a pc on the network, puts out a bmp thumbnail which i want to display on xbmc.
as far as i can tell, i can't display bmps in xbmcgui. so i'm importing the image library and trying to convert the bmps to jpegs using image.save, but this gives me a run time error telling me that the "_imaging c module is not installed"

is it the case that pil is not fully implemented on xbmc, or have i simply not fully installed it? if the latter, how do i go about getting/installing the c module?

is there another way around my problem? can the xbmcgui dlibrary isplay bmps using some technique i don't know about? is there another way to convert bmps to jpegs/gifs? i have tried simply renaming the bmp to jpg/jpeg but it doesn't seem to work.

any help appreciated

john
