SageMC/DVDProfiler and SageTV 6.4.5

[Nebruin]

I recently upgraded to SageTV 6.4.5 and did a complete wipe of my old Sage installation in the process. The only thing I copied over was my wiz.bin. Everything else is brand new. I then installed the latest version of SageMC (sagemc_6_3_7a_full) and then copied over the latest DVDPro2Sage.class to the DVDPro2Sage folder so it would have the multi disc fix. I then set the paths for the database to C:\DVD Profiler\Databases\Default\ and the collection.xml to C:\DVD Profiler\collection.xml. I then restarted SageTV and tried to refresh my metadata, but this does not seem to be working. When I try to go to each title and refresh it there, is just says that it can't find the collection.xml. Has anyone been able to get DVDPro2Sage to work with SageTV 6.4.5, or is this a known issue that I just wasn't aware of?

Thanks for any help.

It works fine in 6.4.5. Both in SageMC and the default Sage. Those aren't the default paths so I assume you specified those during setup of DVD Profiler. Did you set those paths in Settings-SageMC-Paths?

Yes the paths I mentioned in my first post are in the Settings-SageMC-Paths. I have a slightly different setup than most. Because my HTPC is only accessible by remote or VNC, I do all my DVD entry stuff on my main PC. This is done through DVDProfiler to a network share. Then once a day and on starter there is a script that automatically replicates the collection.xml and the entire DVD Profiler directory (databases, filters, flags, etc....) to the local HTPC. I've checked the files and they are good and there is no lock on them from any other program. This is the exact same setup I had with my old SageTV instance so I know that the DVDProfiler database/collection.xml is good. The only thing that is odd is that even though the collection.xml can't be found it still finds all the dvd covers just like it did before, but I think that when I moved over the wiz.bin instance it kept all that information in there. Is there anyway to remove all the metadata associated with the DVDs and start fresh?

[Nebruin]

Well I actually figured out part of the problem. I am using the newer DVDPro2Sage.class that has the multi disc fix in it, but that is what appears to be causing the issue. When I go back to the original file everything works except for the multi disc support, which is expected. I'm looking in to why this newer one breaks. The newer file I am using is located here (http://www.mediafire.com/?zmjswbgdtnm).

you seem to be using the latest file. Can you PM me a pointer to your log. Maybe I can see something obvious.

Which log file do you want, and does it need to be increased logging or just the normal level of logging?

Thanks.

normal is fine. If you are running in service mode I'll need sagetvclient.log, if not sagetv.log. Send me your collection.xml as well.

The SageTV.log was not created, but I did turn on debug logging which then created the sagetv_0.txt, and found this error message:

Let me know if you need the entire file

Thanks for the help.

Well I did some more research tonight and I found the call that is causing the issue:

String currDvdTitle = currDvd.getElementsByTagName( "Title" ).item( 0 ).getFirstChild().getNodeValue();

I found it by adding this code in to the function:

temp.write("Line 102, iteration: " + i + "\n");
temp.flush();
Element currDvd = (Element) dvdElements.item( i );
temp.write("Line 105, iteration: " + i + "\n");
temp.flush();
NodeList currDvdDiscs = currDvd.getElementsByTagName( "Disc" );
temp.write("Line 108, iteration: " + i + "\n");
temp.flush();
String currDvdTitle = currDvd.getElementsByTagName( "Title" ).item( 0 ).getFirstChild().getNodeValue();
temp.write("Line 111, iteration: " + i + "\n");
temp.flush();

and then checking the log which ended at line 108 iteration 55

Line 102, iteration: 55
Line 105, iteration: 55
Line 108, iteration: 55

I'm looking in to this further to see if I can find out why this is occuring. I noticed that getNodeValue can throw a DOMException, so I'm adding some try catch blocks to see if that is causing the issue.

Well I figured out what was causing the issue. I thought my XML was fine, and it was for the most part, but one of my DVDs had the title missing and it caused the title to be </title> instead of <title>TITLE HERE</title>. Which is what was causing my main issue. I also found what looks like another bug where when making a safe dvd title we remove the ',' character as being unsafe which on Windows it is a safe character to use in a pathname. So I fixed that as well, now everything works like I would expect it to. Although I don't know if the comma character is safe on *nix. If you're interested in any of the stuff I did just let me know and I can pass the code to you.
