<MattJ>

It happened to me yesterday on a scheduled recording

<MattJ>

Chopped about 20 min from 1h10m

<MattJ>

Hmm 25 min

<orion-uk>

mmm

[19:35]

<orion-uk>

got a few ideas...will do this for u then share wem...

[19:35]

<MattJ>

Email me the recordings file if you like

[19:36]

<MattJ>

Oh

[19:36]

<MattJ>

and a temporary fix for the Browse tab...

[19:37]

<MattJ>

In telnet, type: mkdir /media/bookmark

[19:41]

<Orion>

pastebin.ca

<Orion>

is that ok?

<MattJ>

Perfect, thanks

<Orion>

i was kinda near the bookmark idea myself.. i put a folder in osdroot for some reason!

<Orion>

lol

<MattJ>

I spotted the problem already

<Orion>

ok?

<MattJ>

There is a line that says [Recording 8]

<MattJ>

For some reason it is empty

<Orion>

k.

[19:44]

<MattJ>

My code doesn't expect a recording to not have a filename, and that is why the error occurs

[19:44]

<Orion>

oh i see :)

[19:45]

<Orion>

btw did u read the link i gave you to forum page... i did the dmesg as greyback said and have the output if it will help you with your recording issue!

[19:46]

<Orion>

pastebin.ca

[19:48]

<orion-uk>

ok... run the web interface... browse working fine now ;->

<MattJ>

Yay :)

<MattJ>

That dmesg output doesn't seem to show any errors

wooble!

<MattJ>

Unless this like is abnormal: bufmgr_hold_buffer:387> BUFMGR(KM): Holding buffer 0x00000000 not in used list

<MattJ>

*line

<MattJ>

wooble!

[19:51]

<orion-uk>

the lack of errors may be becouse i did dmesg after the bloomin thing started working fine again..recorded for over 2 hours before i stopped recording to set up the scheduled recording for you!...is what i was saying b4..lol about things not going wrong when trying to debug..lol

[19:51]

<orion-uk>

soz wooble?

<MattJ>

orion-uk: The name of the web interface :)

<MattJ>

I didn't know what to call it, so vmarks named it :)

<orion-uk>

i saw the not in used and it did stick out at me but i dont know what im doing so ignored it..lol

<orion-uk>

lol..wooble is a guy in wiki...rotflmao

[19:53]

<orion-uk>

what did u think of the other stuff i mentioned in email?

[19:53]

<MattJ>

brb

[19:53]

<orion-uk>

k

[19:56]

<orion-uk>

bte.. wooble display in firefox is dead centre.. in ie7 its tight left for me..just incase u need to know!

[19:59]

<orion-uk>

back 2 browse... browsing folders... (usb) works a dream... (network) displaying media in: blah blah blah... nothing shows.

[19:59]

<MattJ>

(obvious question alert) do you have any shares on your network? :)

[20:00]

<orion-uk>

lol..yah a few

[20:00]

<orion-uk>

osd finds them ok.

[20:01]

<MattJ>

Go to Play.Browse->Network->[Some PC]-> Share list

[20:01]

<MattJ>

Open a share

[20:01]

<MattJ>

Then look back in wooble's browse tab, does it show anything now?

[20:02]

<orion-uk>

my turn. for ob q.. on osd?..lol

[20:02]

<MattJ>

;)

[20:03]

<orion-uk>

hhmmm!

[20:04]

<orion-uk>

think i need a reboot oslt.. the network folder for my base unit is missing but was ok to browse b4... 1sec

[20:04]

<MattJ>

Ok

[20:05]

<MattJ>

You sure do have a lot of strange problems :)

[20:06]

<orion-uk>

lol... tis the chaos of having alot to do and not much time to do things in..wife demanding of my time..so is life..lol...and i have the mem of a gold fish..lol

[20:06]

<orion-uk>

:)

[20:07]

<orion-uk>

think an app i was using to convert video was draining resources oslt!.. the shares are there now apps closed and i didnt reboot!

[20:08]

<orion-uk>

yah .. they there in wooble now too!

[20:08]

<MattJ>

Great :)

[20:08]

<orion-uk>

was using an app called turnbite to convert mp4`s

[20:09]

<orion-uk>

oik...

[20:09]

<orion-uk>

not fully working only displays 1st folder contents.. second "seems" empty..but is not!

[20:09]

<orion-uk>

(in wooble)

<MattJ>

You need to open them on the OSD first

<orion-uk>

stranger still.. if i browse with osd remote to missing folders, then hit refresh in ffox..the folders appear!

<MattJ>

Yep :)

<orion-uk>

ok..lol

<MattJ>

That is because the OSD needs to log into them

<orion-uk>

be warned..u may get a few dumb comments from orion-NoOb..rotflmao ;->

<orion-uk>

oh ok.

<MattJ>

It's not dumb, there is a bug report for it :)

<orion-uk>

so i would need to take remote to work with me aswell then ;-)

<orion-uk>

te he

<MattJ>

You just need to do it the once

<MattJ>

It is what the Remote Control tab in wooble is useful for :)

<orion-uk>

you have

<MattJ>

Which... isn't working for you either :|

<MattJ>

Now to that...

<orion-uk>

my email about that paret ayh?

<orion-uk>

k

<orion-uk>

...

[20:13]

<MattJ>

In telnet, type: screenshot

<orion-uk>

need to give it an output path oslt.... usage message comes up..1sec

<MattJ>

Ok, so you have that

<MattJ>

Then I'm not sure what the problem is

<orion-uk>

u want me 2 type the message?

<MattJ>

Does it say "Quick screenshot tool"?

<orion-uk>

could it be a yes

<orion-uk>

..

<orion-uk>

lol..typo..

<orion-uk>

yes it does

<MattJ>

Hmm

<MattJ>

Where is your osdroot now? USD?

<orion-uk>

could it be a java issue?

<MattJ>

er... USB?

<MattJ>

Java? :o

<MattJ>

No Java here :)

<orion-uk>

media/USB/osdroot

[20:17]

<MattJ>

ls /media/USB/osdroot/screen.jpg

[20:17]

<MattJ>

Does it come back blank? or say "screen.jpg?"

[20:18]

<orion-uk>

says no such file or dir

[20:18]

<MattJ>

Ok...

[20:19]

<orion-uk>

RE: java.. remote page says requires javascript) could it be a prob with my java installation) does it work on yours ok?

[20:19]

<MattJ>

Oh

<MattJ>

Java is nothing to do with Javascript (confusingly) :)

<orion-uk>

lol

<orion-uk>

ok

<MattJ>

You wouldn't get the error box pop up if you had no Javascript

<orion-uk>

k

[20:21]

<orion-uk>

what u want me 2 do now?

[20:21]

<MattJ>

How did you start the web interface?

[20:22]

<orion-uk>

. ./setup.sh lpkg control luaetta start

[20:22]

<MattJ>

Ok, that is fine

[20:22]

<orion-uk>

btw..

<orion-uk>

i found a file called luaetta in a folder on my desktop... was it needed for anythiong as i dont seem to have that in osdroot ?

<MattJ>

On your PC?

<MattJ>

luaetta is in osdroot/bin/

<orion-uk>

file is on pc

<MattJ>

Don't think you need that

<orion-uk>

on osd?

<MattJ>

Yeah

<orion-uk>

yah its there..

[20:25]

<orion-uk>

my idea about recordings...

[20:26]

<orion-uk>

when my recordings location is empty, thats when i get most recording errors.. noticed 2day that after about 4-5-6 attempts of recording in a row (without deleting previos recording) things then run smoothly..or am i just picvking at straws?

[20:27]

<MattJ>

My recording location is most certainly not empty :)

[20:27]

<orion-uk>

:-) "strwas" te he he

<orion-uk>

straws even!

<orion-uk>

trying to type and role a smoke..lol

<orion-uk>

just a thought!

<MattJ>

lol

[20:30]

<orion-uk>

is there a way of getting an more detailed error report of the error that happens when i use controls on remote page..also ...any idea why i dont see anything when selecting view OSD screen?

<MattJ>

I'm thinking about it

<orion-uk>

i dont know what you have/have not completed u c.

<orion-uk>

k

<MattJ>

Paste this into telnet:

<Orion>

k

[20:32]

<MattJ>

echo 'function onRequest() print(os.getenv("PKGROOT")) end' > /media/USB/osdroot/var/www/pkgroot.lua

[20:32]

<MattJ>

Then go to http://<your OSD>/pkgroot.lua

[20:33]

<MattJ>

and tell me what it says

[20:33]

<Orion>

soz, was in loo..lol

[20:33]

<Orion>

will do..

<Orion>

no feedback given

<MattJ>

Ok

<MattJ>

Paste this:

<MattJ>

echo 'function onRequest() print(os.getenv("PKGROOT") or "Not set") end' > /media/USB/osdroot/var/www/pkgroot.lua

<MattJ>

and look again

[20:35]

<Orion>

none given again... look again in wooble or telnet?

[20:35]

<MattJ>

In http://<your OSD>/pkgroot.lua

[20:37]

<MattJ>

brb

[20:38]

<Orion>

got blank page with following txt on top left: /media/USB/osdroot

[20:38]

<Orion>

k

<MattJ>

Strange

<MattJ>

That is correct

<Orion>

?

<MattJ>

I was expecting it to say "Not set" for some reason

[20:42]

<MattJ>

That would cause the OSD remote control to fail

[20:42]

<Orion>

ok

[20:44]

<MattJ>

Very hard to know what is happening without reproducing it on my PC/OSD :/

[20:45]

<Orion>

yah.. dont have to worry about it unless you want to?

[20:45]

<MattJ>

I don't let bugs slip through my net :)

[20:45]

<Orion>

;-)

<Orion>

so your wooble fully working (and just me with "issues" or is it work in progress?

<MattJ>

Oh my

both. it's a work in progress, and it's just you.

* vmarks is so cruel.

<MattJ>

I'm so stupid... I know the problem now :)

<MattJ>

brb

<Orion>

lol..

<Orion>

do go on..

<Orion>

k

<MattJ>

(enjoy the suspense :P )

<Orion>

lol....(enjoys) :>

[20:57]

<Orion>

2 things... 1)when attempting to view ubuntu in network am asked for login details, wont accept my ubunutu login info as user or root! 2) in wooble browser, have no MMC-card, have browsed it in osd b4!

[21:06]

<Orion>

also.. not sure if u need to know! firmware used now is 3.33-1.73-04.81t

<MattJ>

Orion: I know how to get Ubuntu to work

<MattJ>

Just open a terminal

<MattJ>

(in Ubuntu)

<MattJ>

Type: smbpasswd

<MattJ>

Enter a password, and it will be used to access the shares

<MattJ>

The username is your Ubuntu username

<Orion>

was watching jeramy carl show..lol

<MattJ>

It means you can have a seperate password for the shares to your login

<MattJ>

k :)

<Orion>

sorry 2 keep u waiting..lol

<MattJ>

10 min, and I'm off to bed anyway

<Orion>

ok

[21:18]

<MattJ>

btw, remote control is broken in wooble for me too :)

[21:18]

<MattJ>

I was actually using a different version for daily use

[21:18]

<MattJ>

I'll see how it can be fixed, and release an update

<orion-uk>

Could not connect to machine 127.0.0.1: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE

<orion-uk>

Failed to change password for orion-uk

<orion-uk>

orion-uk@orion-uk-Ubuntu:~$

<MattJ>

Hmm

<MattJ>

sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart

[21:21]

<orion-uk>

same error message!

[21:22]

<MattJ>

Hmm

[21:22]

<MattJ>

Now I really am sure that you attract these problems :D

<orion-uk>

lol...man.. u were right... soO many problems.. might just kill all my equipment and start again...lol

<MattJ>

"sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart" gave an error message?

<orion-uk>

:-)

<MattJ>

or smbpasswd did, a second time?

<orion-uk>

second time

<orion-uk>

smb restart whent fine :)

<MattJ>

Oki

[21:24]

<orion-uk>

funny that.. and when i want to, i cant reproduce the recording error..only when i dont want to..lol

[21:25]

<MattJ>

Try:

[21:25]

<MattJ>

sudo smbpasswd orion-uk

[21:26]

<orion-uk>

accepted that.. will try access on osd now..

[21:27]

<MattJ>

k

[21:28]

<orion-uk>

cool, that worked...thanx :) do i need to enter login every time or just this time?

<MattJ>

It will stay logged in until you reboot the OSD

<MattJ>

Older firmwares then require you to log in from scratch

<orion-uk>

lol..btw.. am having same prob with (some) windows share but not all... have not set a psswrd 4 the shares!

<MattJ>

Newer ones save the login info, and you can just click "OK"

<MattJ>

No idea about the Windows ones :)

<orion-uk>

some are ok, just go straight in.

<orion-uk>

lol

<orion-uk>

np..

<orion-uk>

you wanna keep looking at wooble or you wanna go off and chill/work/sleep? :-)

<MattJ>

I know what the problem is with remote control

<MattJ>

I need to work out how to fix it

<MattJ>

Scheduled recordings... you have a broken .recordings file

<orion-uk>

ok...was wondering why u shot of calling urself stupid!..far from it m8! :)

<MattJ>

The OSD ignores the broken part, so I think my code should too :)

[21:32]

<orion-uk>

ok

[21:32]

<MattJ>

No, I am stupid, I didn't test it enough before I released it :)

<MattJ>

The version I stayed using still worked fine, but didn't have some of the newer changes

<orion-uk>

well it gave me a chance to talk with u and learn more stuff ;-) thaty was worth something :>

<MattJ>

:)

<orion-uk>

you have been soO cool helping me, thanx so much :)

<MattJ>

np, I like to know someone is using my work :)

<orion-uk>

sorry i have taken up so much of ur time :-}

<MattJ>

It's fine

<orion-uk>

and apprieciating it :)

<MattJ>

The development took more time :)

<orion-uk>
