hi, how did you solved this?

[KishoreKaushal]

I reinstalled the library from scratch on a fresh Ubuntu GNOME 16.04. It worked. (Silly method , I know).

[KishoreKaushal]

Most importantly, every time I installed the library I got an error regarding 'dct_method'. There is a fix for that in another issue. I resolved it by removing a line of code in the file 'example_decoders.py'. I still don't know what that error means. And why do they included that line in the code, if we just have to remove it.

if any one know how to solve this plz tel us how§?
