I just finished an upgrade to get me to .27 this weekend. In the process I
have started using mythbuntu for my backend system. After the upgrade I
have noticed a few things and was wondering if anyone can confirm if these
are .27, or mythbuntu, or even just something I have done wrong.
1) Mythfilldatabase next run time doesn't seem to be at the bottom of the
status page. I manually ran mythfilldatabase a few minutes ago and saw
that it does now say that it ran successfully. I wanted to know when it
was scheduled to run on it's own so I could check back and see if it is
working. It doesn't display when the next run will be. I saw a patch in
.26 about time zones causing a problem of not displaying the next run in
mythweb. Since mythfilldatabase reports the next run in UTC (or Z) and my
box is setup for EST, I am guessing this might be the issue? Is this still
an issue in .27? If so has someone patched this in mythbuntu? If I had
the source I would know how to apply a patch but with this being from a
mythbuntu repo, I am not familiar with how I would go about fixing this.
2) While testing my recordings, I would often schedule a recording from
mythweb. After seeing that it was working, I could not get it to stop
recording. I could edit the currently recording show and turn off the
schedule, but it didn't stop. Again, I don't know if this is mythweb, or
.27 or a combination of the two. Since it was a test recording, I ended up
just deleting it. Doing this would stop the recording from continuing, but
that clearly isn't the intended way of stopping it.
3) I was trying to use event's to run mythlink.pl. My goal was to have it
add a new symlink when a show started recording, and then have it reprocess
all shows when one was expired or deleted (to remove the link for the dead
show). I have the following settings in my event list, but it does not
seem to have created the links. I can try and run this in debug mode, but
now I need to find a time after work when nothing is recording so I can do
more tests. If someone can find something wrong with my events, I would
much appreciate the time savings :) I can say that when I run the script
my self, it all seems to work. So I just need to figure out how to get
myth to run it for me. I know a cron job could get it done, but I would
love to take advantage of these events and make it a little smarter.
EventCmdRecDeleted: sleep 10 &&
/usr/share/doc/mythtv-backend/contrib/user_jobs/mythlink.pl --link
/mnt/cifs/tv/mythtv --format "%T/%T - %oY-%om-%od - %S"
EventCmdRecExpired: sleep 10 &&
/usr/share/doc/mythtv-backend/contrib/user_jobs/mythlink.pl --link
/mnt/cifs/tv/mythtv --format "%T/%T - %oY-%om-%od - %S"
EventCmdRecStarted: sleep 10 &&
/usr/share/doc/mythtv-backend/contrib/user_jobs/mythlink.pl --link
/mnt/cifs/tv/mythtv --chanid %CHANID% --starttime %STARTTIME% --format
"%T/%T - %oY-%om-%od - %S"
Thanks for any help, I know this became quite a long post.
