[mythtv-users] Mythfs.py encoding and empty directory issues

[Espen A. Fossen]

Hi

Trying to get the mythfs.py script working. Have read all the posts in the dev 
and users lists, and been doing a lot of trail en error. Unfortunately my 
knowledge of python is rather limited, so debugging isn't going to well. 
Running with the following:

python 2.6.5
mysql-python 1.2.3_rc1
fuse-python 0.2
gentoo 64 bit
mythtv-fixes-0.23 @ 23952

First of all, just basically running 


python mythfs.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "mythfs.py", line 394, in <module>
    main()
  File "mythfs.py", line 390, in main
    fs.prep()
  File "mythfs.py", line 327, in prep
    fmt = self.parser.largs[0].split(',',1)
IndexError: list index out of range

The command still functions so this isn't to important.

When trying to mount the Videos where one of the sub directories in the Videos 
storage groups is empty, it gives me this error:

python mythfs.py Videos /mnt/mythtv -o ro,allow_other
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "mythfs.py", line 394, in <module>
    main()
  File "mythfs.py", line 390, in main
    fs.prep()
  File "mythfs.py", line 330, in prep
    self.files.populate()
  File "mythfs.py", line 83, in populate
    for data,id in self.getData(full=True):
  File "mythfs.py", line 209, in getData
    files = self.walkSG('Videos')
  File "mythfs.py", line 234, in walkSG
    fdict.update(self.walkSG(group, MythBE(host[0], db=self.db)))
  File "mythfs.py", line 241, in walkSG
    fdict.update(self.walkSG(group, myth, base, ''))
  File "mythfs.py", line 246, in walkSG
    fdict.update(self.walkSG(group, myth, base, path+'/'+d))
  File "mythfs.py", line 246, in walkSG
    fdict.update(self.walkSG(group, myth, base, path+'/'+d))
  File "mythfs.py", line 244, in walkSG
    dirs, files, sizes = myth.getSGList(myth.hostname, group, base+'/'+path)
TypeError: 'int' object is not iterable

If i remove the directory or put something in it, it works.

When trying to mount my recordings I get this:

python ./mythfs.py Recordings,'%T/(%oY%-%om%-%od) %S' /mnt/mythtv/ -o 
ro,allow_other
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./mythfs.py", line 394, in <module>
    main()
  File "./mythfs.py", line 390, in main
    fs.prep()
  File "./mythfs.py", line 334, in prep
    self.files.populate()
  File "./mythfs.py", line 84, in populate
    path = self.getPath(data)
  File "./mythfs.py", line 267, in getPath
    return data.formatPath(self.fmt, '-').encode('utf-8').\
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/MythTV/MythData.py", line 689, in 
formatPath
    tmp = str(self[data]).replace('/','-')
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe5' in position 
6: ordinal not in range(128)

Looks like this might be related to my database previously having issues with 
encoding, ref the whole UTF-8/latin1 encoding issues, especially on gentoo. I 
know there might be some old recordings with some bad characters in the db. 
The problem is that I don't know python that good enough to debug what data it 
is failing on. I have tried setting MythLog._setlevel('all'), and setting 
mysql to log all SQL's, but it still it's giving me a clue to where the error 
is occurring. 

Any help would be appreciated.
