Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: mythexport
After selecting a recording for an OTG (On The Go) export, mythexport
processes the request, but never calls ffmpeg. This is because of a but
in the code around line 340:
foreach (@params){
if ($_ =~ m/starttime/) {
$starttime = (split(/\=/,$_))[1];
}
elsif ($_ =~ m/chanid/) {
$chanid = (split(/\=/,$_))[1];
}
elsif ($_ =~ m/config/) {
$block = (split(/\=/,$_))[1];
}
# elsif ($_ =~ m/otg/) {
# $block = (split(/\=/,$_))[1];
# }
}
I commented out the last elsif to correct the issue, however this may cause a
problem elsewhere, since I don't know what the original intent for parsing the
value of otg was. With these three lines uncommented, $block is then set to
"true", not the name of the configuration to use. As such, several lines just
below this block of code fail to retrieve parameters from the config file,
including the following:
my $args = $export_cfg->param("$block.ffmpegArgs") unless ref
$export_cfg->param("$block.ffmpegArgs") eq 'ARRAY';
Since the code ends up looking for "true.ffmpegArgs" instead of
"Steve_Podcast.ffmpegArgs", $args is empty. This causes the @args array
to be blank and the foreach loop around line 485 is never entered.
Perhaps some extra debug code should be added to exit earlier when
parsing the config fails?
NOTE: my line numbers are estimates, since I added several "logdebug"
lines while tracking this down.
