Miro Bridge v0.3.0 Beta release

[r.d.vaughan@…]

Miro Bridge v0.3.1 Beta is a complete replacement of previous versions

[r.d.vaughan@…]

!! Miro Bridge v0.3.1 is a complete replacement for previous versions !!

Miro Bridge v0.3.1

1) Changed the check for Imagmagick convert utility and ffmpeg as the positive return value is different on some distributions (0 or 1). The fail value is consistent (127).

2) Fixed the environment test option (-t) as there were conditions when it could give a false positive "success message"

Replying to tsx_5@yahoo.com: Nasa,

I have sent you an email with a special version of Miro Bridge to help track down this problem.

Please send me via email the entire output from your next test run with the special Miro Bridge version.

[r.d.vaughan@…]

Miro Bridge v0.3.2 Beta is a complete replaces previous versions

[r.d.vaughan@…]

Miro Bridge v0.3.2

1) Fixed a bug when an empty item description would abort the script on an "extras" request

2) Fixed a bug when the Watched item processing failed message would abort the script

3) Fixed a bug when a user accidental deletes a video file symlink then the video symlink is NOT recreated as it should have been.

4) Fixed a bug where double quotes in the title or subtitle caused issues with file names

5) Added to the statistics report the total number of Miro-MythVideo? videos that will eventually be expired and removed by Miro.

6) Added an info log message with the Miro Bridge version number, which may help in problem analysis.

7) Added trapping and diagnostic messages when the HTML tags could not be removed from a description.

8) Added a check and abort if the installed "pyparsing" python library is not at least v1.5.0 (thanks Nasa)

9) Added detection of a Miro video deletion though the MythVideo? user interface. The next time Miro Bridge is run the Miro data base and associated graphics will be automatically cleaned up.

[r.d.vaughan@…]

Miro Bridge v0.3.3 full release

[r.d.vaughan@…]

Miro Bridge v0.3.3 Full Release replaces all previous releases

This is the full release. There were no code changes over the last Beta release so this is just a version change to designate from the Beta releases.

[r.d.vaughan@…]

Miro Bridge v0.3.4 Completely replaces all previous releases

[r.d.vaughan@…]

Miro Bridge v0.3.4 Replaces all previous versions!

1) Fixed a script abort when checking for orphaned videometadata records and there were no Miro-MythTV videometadata records to process.

2) Added additional detection and restrictions to the supported versions of Miro (minimum v2.0.3) preferrably v2.5.2 or higher.

3) Removed the source file mirobridge_events.py now using Miro's native cli events.py instead.

[r.d.vaughan@…]

Miro Bridge v0.3.5 Completely replaces all previous releases

[r.d.vaughan@…]

Miro Bridge v0.3.5 Replaces all previous versions!

1) Use the MythVideo?.py binding new rmMetadata() routine to delete old videometatdata records.

2) Added read/write access checks for all directories that Miro Bridge needs to use

This version of Miro Bridge requires change set r21461 or higher

[r.d.vaughan@…]

Miro Bridge v0.3.6 Completely replaces all previous releases

[r.d.vaughan@…]

Miro Bridge v0.3.6 Modifications as per requested changes.

[r.d.vaughan@…]

Miro Bridge v0.3.7 Completely replaces all previous releases

[r.d.vaughan@…]

Miro Bridge v0.3.7 replaces all previous versions

Fixed a bug with previous modifications that impacted Miro v2.0.3 only

[craftyguy@…]

Running Miro 2.5.2 and python-2.6, I receive the following error:

mythtv@crafty_pvr ~ $ /usr/share/mythtv/mythvideo/scripts/mirobridge.py -t /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/MySQLdb/init__.py:34: DeprecationWarning?: the sets module is deprecated

Miro is configured and working properly AFAIK (successfully autodownloading, etc)

[anonymous]

Replying to craftyguy@gmail.com:

I have sent you an email on a suggested approach to determining the issue. The error means that miro_bridge.py cannot access the Miro code it needs to interface with Miro's functionality. See the email for further information.

[craftyguy@…]

Thanks for the quick response! Executing the following gets me past that error: mythtv@crafty_pvr ~ $ env dbus-launch sh -c 'trap "kill $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_PID" EXIT; /usr/share/mythtv/mythvideo/scripts/mirobridge.py -t'

I tried to follow the wiki for setting this up, but the recommended fix for that error was in a later step(Finally adding Miro Bridge as a cron job) than the one I was at (Test that your installation is properly configured).

[r.d.vaughan@…]

Miro Bridge v0.3.8 Completely replaces all previous releases

[r.d.vaughan@…]

Miro Bridge v0.3.8 replaces all previous versions

1) Fixed Unicode errors with file names

2) Change to graphic file names to assist SG image hunting added the suffix "_coverart, _fanart, _banner, _screenshot" respectively for any copied/created graphics.

Hi,

Back again... 1st off, lots of debugging info provided by default -- very good idea! That said, here's what it is giving me as it *crashes*. Crashes may not be the right term as it leaves processes running (stopped with simple kill commands). The same thing happens within crontab or straight terminal.

Miro Bridge v0.3.9 Completely replaces all previous releases

[r.d.vaughan@…]

Miro Bridge v0.3.9

1) Fixed an issue when deleting a Miro video and the title/subtitle was not found due to special characters. The search and matching is now more robust.

2) Fixed a bug where file name unicode errors caused an abort when creating screen shots.

3) Removed from the mirobridge.conf file the sections "[tv] and [movies]". This functionality has been added to the Jamu v0.5.0 -MW option as of change set [21897].

4) Added a check for locally available banners and fanart files when creating a MythVideo? record. This is added as Jamu v0.5.0 option -MW downloads graphics from TVDB and TMDB for Miro videos when available.

5) Modified the check for mirobridge.conf to accommodate the needs of Mythbuntu.

6) Added mythcommflag seektable building for both recordings and mythvideo Miro videos.

[r.d.vaughan@…]

Miro Bridge v0.4.0 Completely replaces all previous releases

[r.d.vaughan@…]

Miro Bridge v0.4.0 Replaces previous versions

Fixed an abort where a variable had not been named properly due to a cut and paste error.

[r.d.vaughan@…]

Miro Bridge v0.4.1 Completely replaces all previous releases

[r.d.vaughan@…]

Miro Bridge v0.4.1

1) Added a check that no other instance of Miro Bridge or Miro is already running. If there is then post a critical error message and exit. More than one occurrence of either or these programs can cause a race condition on a single CPU core.

2) Do not add the Miro Bridge default banner when a Miro video has no subtitle as it overlaps the title display on MythVideo? information pop-ups.

3) Fixed a bug where a folder icon was being created even when it already existed.

[r.d.vaughan@…]

Miro Bridge v0.4.2 Completely replaces all previous releases

[r.d.vaughan@…]

Miro Bridge v0.4.2

Added a missing import for "htmlentitydefs" which is rarely used in the description/plot XTML parsing. Thanks to Norm for finding this error.

[r.d.vaughan@…]

Miro Bridge v0.4.3 Completely replaces all previous releases

[r.d.vaughan@…]

Miro Bridge v0.4.3

1) New Miro Videos added to the Default recordings directory have their names conform to MythTV standards of "CHANID_ISODATETIME.ext". This resolves an obscure bug that could resulted in orphaned screen shot graphics and issues with Miro video deletions from the Watch Recordings screen if MiroBridge? was run when the user had MythTV started and in the Watch Recordings screen.

2) Added support for audio type detection (2-channel, 6-channel, ...) that matches changes in ffmpeg. ffmpeg is used in the detection of a video file's audio properties.

[robertm]

(In [22236]) Fixes #6825. Adds a new script to contrib, MiroBridge?. MiroBridge? is a script written by Doug Vaughan to integrate vodcast/podcast free video programming into Myth's recordings. Video programming such as Revision3, NASA Vodcasts, etc. appear in the Watch Recordings screen w/ full description, video and audio flags, and generated previews. Detailed instructions on setup and troubleshooting information can be found at the mirobridge wiki page, but minimally this script, miro, ffmpeg, and python are required.
