Gmote issues

[Chet Long]

To whom it may concern,

I'm having issues connecting to the server and starting up the application itself... I would appreciate if someone could resolve the issue. Following is the debug log:

are you sure that VLC media player is installed? because all the
warnings point towards it not being installed on your pc?
namely talking about:

Error while gmote tried to start vlc. Make sure that vlc is

installed and in your system PATH variable. Please see the logs for
more details or
visit www.gmote.org/faq : Unable to load library 'libvlc': The

specified module
could not be found.

so you might want to check if its installed propperly.
and possebly this:

hope that helps..

Had the same issue.  At first I thought it was because I had VLC running at the time of my original install, possibly affecting write permissions?

Turns out the app needs admin rights to run properly.
