You must be getting tired of this but I am still having problems with the GUI installer for Channels. I have yet to experience a successful install. This time around I performed a clean install of UMS 2.6.2. I then installed the MOVIEINFO plugin. It appeared after switching tabs, didn't have to restart, not sure that matters. After that I tried using the UMS GUI for plugin installs to install Channels. I did some looking before exiting and saw very quickly that not all of the directories and channels were there. None of the .ch files downloaded the first two tries (captured in logs attached) and I didn't see the extras folder structure I am used to. This means I saw no bin directory either. I then decided to look at the logs and I saw it errored when downloading PMSEncoder. These are the logs I attached. I then shut UMS down, manually copied PMSencoder into plugin directory, started UMS and opened the Channel plugin dialog box and pressed Install/Update. I still don't see the extra directory structure I am used to or any sign of a bin directory. I will be trying this again later to see if it might just be that there is a problem with git right now. Thought I would attach the logs just so you could check.
Regarding a manual install until this is done:
1) Should I still see a bin directory with rtmpdump.exe, youtube-dl.exe and curl.exe and if so where should it be located (extras\bin)?
2) For the three files listed above (perl and python too?), when I started a long time ago all of these components were installed separately or independently. Is it okay to continue using the standalone versions or is it now required to use what is installed by Channels?
3) Thought of this one after I went to your google code page to download copies of everything. I understand that the real problem here is that the built-in GUI based plug-in installer will not work properly for me when installing Channels. With that said, if I am forced into a manual install should I be grabbing your stuff from git or google? Not real code saavy so hope you get what I am asking.
4) Again, while downloading updated files from your google code page, I came across the pywin.zip file and remembered your answer to the question, what is it? Remaining question though, where does it need to be installed. As I say this I realize I haven't even opened it to see if there is a readme or if it might install to a specific path. Apologies if that is the case, otherwise please explain where the contents of this .zip file should be placed, in other words, what path should be used?
Kind of a general question but how difficult would it be to add some type of install verification routine to the plugin installer? Something to say that it has completed properly.
Thanks and Peace!
Hi SH, sorry to pester you but I just did a clean install of 2.6.3 and when using the plugin install gui to install channels it appears to fail during download/install of PMSEncoder. Not sure if anyone, @TheREC, may have tried it as well. Specific debug entries I saw when looking at debug.log are:
DEBUG 2013-05-01 23:11:22.250 [Thread-17] Installing plugin Channels type 1

I have attached the log files specific to the problem addressed above.
In addition to the above problem I had three or four questions that were not specific to this install problem but were more general. In an attempt to make things easier, I am going to paste a copy of the other questions down here as well:

EDIT - Not sure if it is important or not but I just went back to look at the UMS install and noticed that somehom tv_plug_219.jar was there so must have gotten downloaded before the problem with PMSEncoder?
