mytharchive failing
I am running Myth on the latest SVN version and Ubuntu Breezy I am getting
the following error message when trying to run MythArchive and I would guess
that it is probably a package but I'm not sure what I am hanging on. Anyone
have any ideas? Thanks

May be a problem with the version of whatever package is extracting the
thumbnails (imagemagick, mjpegtools?). I'm not really sure. All I
know, is I finally (after much tribulation) got this stuff working under
MythBurn and now it seems (though it's not much tested yet) to be also
working under MythArchive w/ SVN MythTV.

Here are some of the key package versions I noted (these are Gentoo
packages, but I imagine the version are decipherable):

media-video/ffmpeg-0.4.9_p20051216 *
media-gfx/imagemagick-6.2.4.2-r1 *
dev-python/imaging-1.1.5 *
media-video/mjpegtools-1.8.0-r1 *
media-video/transcode-0.6.14-r3 *
app-cdr/cdrtools-2.01 *

Hope that might help you or someone else trying to get MythBurn/Archive
working.

Sorry! I screwed up on my last commit. I accidentally left the
debug_secondrunthough flag set to True. I'll fix it shortly or you can
just set the flag to False and all will be well.

No problems I'll wait a couple of days and download again and give it a
shot. Thanks for all your work.

I wish I did know how to debug it.
I haven't been able to find any rhyme or reason as to why MythArchive
works on some recordings, and not on others. I did have an issue with it
not being able to extract time and channel information from the recorded
filenames, but fixed that (in mythrename.pl, which I had made changes to).
Now it's anyone's guess.

I'm hoping someone wil help us both :-)

I believe my installed version (based on the strings extracted from
libmytharchive.so) is 0.19.20060708-1.

archive_create_archive
archive_encode_video
0.19.20060708-1
mytharchive
Test Popup Version Failed

Basically you need to add a 'RecordFilePrefix' setting in the DB for the
hostname you are running the frontend on.

Hi Paul,

Thanks, that was the issue indeed. Just made my first DVD. Splendid!
I wondered though if it is normal that all the temporary files that
got created stay in place (in my tmp-directory)? That way a hard drive
gets filled up easily...

Another question that came to my mind is whether it would be best to
set my working-dir (tmp) on my nfs-partition, on the same server where
my files are, or to put on my local computer, from where mytharchive
runs?

Thanks

Peter

For the record, updating via yum to mythtv-0.21-191.fc8 fixed the problem.
