0.25fixes: mythtshutdown --status does not recognize recordings

Hi,

seems like there's a regression in 0.25fixes: when there is an ongoing
recording, mythshutdown --status or --check won't return a status code
of 8, but 0. Running it through "-v all" doesn't reveal any errors.
Could anyone confirm this please?

greg

So far this seems to work for me. I'm running Mythbuntu 0.25 fixes,
updated yesterday.

Thanks for testing. I'm running Mythbuntu 11.10 with 0.25fixes from
mythbuntu-repos. Updated the day before yesterday. I have a combined
BE/FE. The issue showed up during a regular, scheduled recording and
manifested itself by shutting the machine down way too early. Today I
tested this by starting a random recording from mythweb, then did on the
command line:

$ mythshutdown --status
$ echo $?
0

Any difference to your setup/testing procedure?

I know for sure this worked with 0.24fixes. I skimmed the source code in
mythshutdown/main.cpp and libmyth/remoteutils.cpp but that code appears
to not having been touched for ages.

I'm also running Ubuntu 11.10 with 0.25fixes from mythbuntu-repos, but I
haven't had any problems with my machine shutting down while recording,
although I'm not at home right now to explicitly test mythshutdown
--status / echo $?.

Are you sure the upgrade went well? Are you definitely using the
mythshutdown binary from 0.25, not something hanging over from 0.24?

What does:

dpkg -l *myth*

say?

Cheers,

John

Pretty sure there. dpkg -l lists only
2:0.25.0+fixes.20120509.7fbcfb4-0ubuntu0mythbuntu3 packages

$ /usr/bin/mythshutdown -h
mythshutdown version: fixes/0.25 [v0.25-82-g7fbcfb4] www.mythtv.org
...

Also, I'm having one physical card and allowed 2 parallel recordings, so
I have two encorders listed on the status pages. Might this be a problem
(had it that way for years, though, never caused a problem).

Two encoders listed on the status page is normal in your situation, so I
don't think that's related to your problem.

I'm not sure why mythshutdown --status isn't working right for you.
Hopefully someone else can help.

Cheers,

John

Probably not, my box has 4 physical encoders on 3 cards.

Best,
Martin

Hi

Try mythshutdown --help check (or status.) I'm using:

mythshutdown --check=1

and it works fine. The ==1 part says 'do check recording status'.

Thanks for this tip. It made me compare

$ mythshutdown --help

and http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Mythshutdown, it seems interesting that
the built in usage information is less accurate than the one in the web.
The tool won't tell me that --status and --check have hidden parameters.

Anyway it helped, the following input was made with an ongoing recording:

$ mythshutdown --check; echo $?
0
$ mythshutdown --check=1; echo $?
1
$ mythshutdown --check=255; echo $?
0
$ mythshutdown --status; echo $?
0
$ mythshutdown --status=1; echo $?
8
$ mythshutdown --status=255; echo $?
0

So it seems I just need to specify that extra flag. Yet, I'm 99.999%
sure I did not have to do that with 0.24fixes...

Thanks again!

Make that 100%. This was just posted on the -commit list:

Thanks to natanojl and wagnerrp on the -dev channel.
