Fails to create DVD: IndexError

[Antonio Marcos López Alonso <amlopezalonso@…>]

Creating a DVD made of at least one video fails with an IndexError message (but no problem if the DVD is filled with recordings only). It seems not to be related to the video type (avi or mpg) as some of them get succesfully inserted into the ISO file while others not.

Another possibly related behavior is that the list of selected videos/recordings to be in the DVD shows strange filesize values ranging from 0 or a few MB to several TB.

Changed file permissions to 777 to no avail.

See mythburn.log error below:

Mytharchive diff for successful archiving of videos to DVD

[lynchmv@…]

After toying around with this very issue, I *think* I have it nailed down to the sqlstatement for the elif file.attributestype.value=="video" section. The sqlstatement uses the full file path for the query, which in turn, returns 0 rows, so the nodes do not get created in info.xml properly. I changed the sqlstatement to use file.attributesfilename.value.replace("'", "
'") instead of just filename and have been able to successfully burn DVDs of videos. Patch attached.

This is a somewhat improved patch, which doesn't break burning of local MythVideo content. It also cleans up the SQL calls to better handle escaping of strings.

The bigger issue here is that the script has never been set up to handle MythVideo content in storage groups. Both patches only work as a fluke, because lynchmv happens to have 'VideoStartupDir' pointed to the same path as his storage group.

How do you apply this patch?

Still on even in 0.23-fixes. Should I file a new bug report?
