I’d like to fix some stability problems, but I can’t get the source code. The wiki says to get the source from git://github.com/elan/plex.git but I get the following error when I try:
venom:work michael$ git clone git://github.com/elan/plex.git
Initialized empty Git repository in /Users/michael/work/plex/.git/
remote: Counting objects: 184865, done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (40416/40416), done.
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly9.25 MiB | 1477 KiB/s
fatal: early EOF
fatal: index-pack failed
I get fantastic speed up to the point where it suddenly bails out with the error. No idea what to do.
Is this really the current source tree? Looking at the history at github, there hasn’t been a commit at elan/plex.git for quite a while. Maybe the wiki is out of date?

yeah, it’s git://github.com/elan/plex.git , not sure why the clone failed…
though when you do get it cloned you should be aware that the active branch is not master, it’s the v0.8 branch. the v0.8 branch has the code of the .8.2 release. also if it helps, the xbmc branch of elan’s plex repo is a mirror of the current up to date xbmc svn.
edit: actually the best thing to do is not to clone elan’s, but to fork it to your github account, and then clone that with the url labeled ‘your clone url’ (looks like git@github.com:sansnipple/plex.git ) that way, you can push changes back to your copy of the repo and then send elan a pull request,
Yes, forking on github worked for me. Though I’m not sure what happened to my clone of elan’s repo.
Thanks for your quick response.
