I can confirm now that the missing <mtime> causes the crash. Added this
in the old rhythmdb.xml file and everything works as before. For people
facing the same problem, here is my script to perform on the file
(supposes perl and File::Util package installed). Don't forget to take a
backup and I take no responsibility of the result. This worked for me,
but YMMV.
script:
use strict;
use File::Util qw(:all); # module to find and navigate files and directories
if ($#ARGV != 1) {
print << 'EOF';
mtime.pl
========
Will add mtime in rhythmdb.xml file
Arguments
---------
in: the name of the input file
out: the name of the output file
EOF
}
else {
my $source_file = $ARGV[0];
my $target_file = $ARGV[1];
my $f = File::Util->new();
# check if given files exists
unless ($f->existent($source_file)) {print "The source file
$source_file doesn't exist!\n"; exit;}
# read the file
my $fh_in;
my $fh_out;
open $fh_in, "<", $source_file or die ("Could not open file
$source_file for reading.");
open $fh_out, ">", $target_file or die ("Could not open file
$target_file for writing.");
while (my $line = <$fh_in>) {
print $fh_out $line;
#print $line;
if ($line =~
m/\s*\<location\>file:\/\/(.+)\<\/location\>\n*/){
my $file = $1;
$file =~ s/%([0-9A-Fa-f]{2})/chr(hex($1))/eg;
print $file . "\n";
if ($f->existent($file)) {
print $fh_out " <mtime>" .
$f->last_modified($file) . "</mtime>\n";
}
}
}
close $fh_in;
close $fh_out;
exit;
}
