 It will be released as 0.2 (in view of being different from the above 0.1 set of tags)
 and will be checked in SVN trunk on plumi, as above.

+== Installing IndyTube on Plumi ==

+ * http://plumi.org/browser/indytube/trunk/README

+
+== Restarting Indytube ==
+
+We have noticed that indytube can stop working on occasion. Obviously we are working on a fix for this, but in the meantime, here are some instructions regarding restarting indytube. 
+
+Note that this has been written for a system that has several running Plumi instances (eg: stable and testing). It would be a lot easier with only one running instance - you would skip step 1.b.
+
+
+1. kill the process 
+  a. discover which process is the one you want to restart.  
+{{{
+user@plumibox:$ ps auxwww | grep indy
+
+root 16946 0.3 0.3 11484 7636 ? S 19:23 0:33 /usr/bin/python2.4 ./indytube.py
+
+user 19665 0.0 0.0 3200 720 pts/0 R+ 21:42 0:00 grep indy
+}}}
+     the second column is the PID
+  b. check the /proc psuedo file system , which gives links to info about each process running 
+{{{
+user@plumibox:$ls -ltr /proc/
+
+user@plumibox:$ sudo ls -ld /proc/16946/cwd 
+lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 2007-07-25 11:44 /proc/16946/cwd -> /opt/instances/indytube-svn
+}}}
+  c. That's the process to kill, in this case, and where to restart it from:
+{{{
+user@plumibox:$sudo kill -9 16946
+}}}
+
+2. Restart indytube
+
+{{{
+user@plumibox:/opt/instances/indytube-svn$ sudo ./run_indytube.sh
+}}}
+
+The directory from which you start indytube represents the Plumi instance that it is running on - make sure you restart it from the right place!
+
+== Transcoding Errors - Indytube / Variable Frame Rates ==
+
+Errors have been reported when videos inputting into mencoder (Indytube) have a variable frame rate. See this ticket for info:
