SageTV Catchup

[pjwerdna]

Also tried the update here...

No issues with the install except no restart was requested after installing the pluggin, so I just restarted the service. (uninstalling did request a SageTV Restart)

Also get a Java exception when doing a recording. Tried the same program via "get_iplayer --get nnn" and got it downloaded. Except from the catchup log for the recording attached.

Did noticed the command in the log it seems to be spawning for get_iplayer has no quotes round the cd part of the command even though it has a space. But that might just be how it gets logged.

Edit: Second log file is from a retry. the recording for click is shown in the log this time, just not picked up.

Quick question - new install all good. Quite a few of the lists don't display all results. Where there is a longer alphabetised list you may only see results up until C or D for example? Noticed this on the last version too..

[deanm]

Success, well in part.

Installed plugin on a fresh SageTV install and it worked perfect.

Only took 7 mins to download catalogue.

Just now need to workout why it don't work on main SageTV Server.

Did uninstall, stop services and delete folder then restart.

Does look like it didn't fully uninstall as the file paths where still set to the changes I made before starting.

What I meant was Record Folder just showed folder empty. Now I have it working I makes sense now.

Been playing around again on my main server.

I now get the following

"Server not running"

I have attached the logs

Can you give a specific example?

In terms of the size of the catalog can you see the sort of numbers I get e.g.

2 sources, 983 programmes, 3914 episodes

Hi Dean,

What version of java is your server using - looks like it might be an old one.

Regards,

Michael

Mine is also

and I notice it does not download.

Have you tied other content e.g. - a 60 second Dennis is a nice short test programme.

I'm going to have a go at increasing the timeout. Will let you know.

Michael

[michaeldjcox]

in the script

sagetvcatchup/plugins/IPlayer/playEpisode.groovy

theres a couple of timeouts

One of 30000 millis to wait for the file name to appear in the log and then one of 10000 millis to wait for the file to grow to 1024000 bytes

I went extreme and increased both to 60000 millis and this seemed to do the trick.

I will probably make these configurable but in the meantime you can just edit the script and poke in bigger values that work for you.

Wow for some reason for the last year I always thought I was running v7.xx but I have been on v6.10

Just updated and still not working.

What I did before the update of Java was to manually add the recording folder in the Sagetvcatchup folder. This got the services to start working.

But when I go to watch a show I get the following error now.

"There was an error downloading

C:\Users\admin\appdata\local\temp\onlinevideosxxxxxx.flv:

Error: Error:Java.io.IOException: Premature EOF"

This happened before and after upgrading Java

Hi Dean,

Wierd how you had to create a directory that is delivered in the zip file.

This is SageTV getting confused about what files are part of the plugin I suspect.

sagetv catchup will be doing recording to a file in sagetvcatchup/recordings and streaming to sagetv. SageTV will be storing streamed video in that temp file. Sounds like the streaming dried up.

Can you paste some zipped logs please.

Its a bug - no escaping of ampersand in titles.

Will endeavour to get a quick bug fix release out to fix this and other issues.

That program, dated 15/05/2014 downloaded. Looks like its because it got the 'INFO: File name prefix = ' output its searching for in about 16 seconds. All my other downloads seem to timeout after 30 seconds.

Sorry thought I had.

Ok.

The issue here is that the script

sagetvcatchup/Iplayer/playEpisode.groovy

is attempting to make relative the file path between where get_iplayer is and the recording directory.

But in your case they are not on the same drive so we get:

c.m.sagetv.catchup.CatchupServer - Unable to record: The100kHouseTricksoftheTradeEpisode6
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: 'other' has different root

	at uk.co.mdjcox.sagetv.catchup.plugins.Plugin.playEpisode(Plugin.java:68) [sagetvcatchup.jar:na]

This a bug essentially.

I made it relative because windows can be such a pain in the a*** with command lines and file paths with spaces etc.

A temporary workaround would be to change the recording dir to be on the same drive.

In the mean time I will try to fix in a patch release.

I just restarted with a new sagetvcatchup.log and recataloged and will try to record and then attach the log file. I thought that if you have time you might take a peek and see if the problems I am having have to do with being on a VPN or if, perhaps, there is some other tweak I could try. I have tried to figure out the logs but just don't have enough knowledge. If it's VPN related then I'll stop trying.

I'm on Java 1.7.0_71 which I believe is the latest version. I also changed the timeout values you suggested in the groovy file.

Thank you for all this troubleshooting and I do hope I can get it working as it looks great - cataloging very quick now - under 9 minutes and the UI is much easier to go through.

I zipped the log as it is huge even though it is a fresh one - I was going to cut parts out but thought the whole thing might be more useful.

So the important bit is:

It looks like it could well be to do with your VPN.

Sounds similar to this

The jist is - is the IP address you get on the VPN a UK one.

If you are not UK there is no iplayer access.

[jt4242]

Thank you for looking at it!!

If I do i_player in the dos command window it all runs fine so I guess I show up as UK there. The part of the log I found curious is this (where is says stalled) and I can't figure out the error:

A temporary workaround would be to change the recording dir to be on the same drive.

Can you expand on this.

Which recording dir.

I have changed Get_iPlayer to now be c:\temp.

Rebooted Server but still get same error

Why do I keep seeing references to C:\User\Admin\ etc on the on screen error but there is no reference to this in any of the config files.


This is for from ideal as my C drive is a small SSD drive which I don't what to use do download temp files to

Resolved my problem!! if I set the default recording mode to flashhd it works. I noticed that in the get_iplayer DOS based interface and Web PVR, if I didn’t specify a recording mode it failed and if I specified a different mode it failed – the download only worked with the mode flashhd.

?????????????

I don’t know why neither interface works when they try all the modes but I’m just glad it’s resolved.

If I can figure out how to set your plugin to use that mode I think all would be well - I notice this line in the log:

flashvhigh1,flashvhigh2,flashhigh1,flashhigh2,flashstd1,flashstd2,flashlow1,flashlow2 modes will be tried for version default

Is there any way I can change these parameters to flashhd only? If not, no problem - I'm just glad it's somewhat resolved.

thanks
julie
