Mytharchive shows random file sizes for imported videos

[Marc Randolph <mrand@…>]

Forwarding upstream:

Select a file to archive, and the select archive items screen shows the file as 730750TB. The real size is 96MB. Later, the same file reported 16GB. Tried with various other files and see same behavior across file types (even avi and wmv). All are misreported.

Running 22304. Behavior is not seen on myth recordings.

You beat me to filing this. Actually it does occur on .nuv Myth recordings, which is where I see the problem.

I'm seeing this as well. I am running Mythdora 10.21 upgraded to MythTV 0.22.

I've have this problem too. TWhen I , from mytharchive, is creation a VIDEO DVD and get to the "select archive items" screen the size of the selected video is rubbish. The encoder profile is deafult SP and the size can be 12032 TB for a 2 minuets MKV file. If I change the encoding profile to NONE the size is 0 KB. Returning back to SP the size is 0 KB.

I can continue and create the DVD. I use the MYTHCENTER theme and have a fine DVD with chapter menus and pictures.

The mythfrontend version is: [0.24-20110303.1mdv2010.2]

If I run mythfrontend with all debug info, among others I get these lines when creating a DVD with the VIDEO aeblehoest.mkv:

2011-04-07 20:54:21.849 MSqlQuery::exec(DBManager1) SELECT intid, title, plot, length, filename, coverfile, category, showlevel, subtitle, season, episode FROM videometadata ORDER BY title,season,episode <<<< Returns 162 row(s)

2011-04-07 20:54:23.973 MythUIImage(0xa5d0a2: Load(), spawning thread to load '/video/mythtv/video/pictures/aeblehoest.jpg'

Here is the failure:

2011-04-07 20:54:23.973 VideoSelector?: Cannot find file: aeblehoest.mkv

And now some more debug info:

2011-04-07 20:54:23.973 MythUIImage(0xa5d0a2: LoadImage?(/video/mythtv/video/pictures/aeblehoest.jpg) Object cover_image

2011-04-07 20:54:36.511 MSqlQuery::exec(DBManager0) DELETE FROM archiveitems;

And because videoselector failed to find info, this happens :

2011-04-07 20:54:36.511 MSqlQuery::exec(DBManager0) INSERT INTO archiveitems (type, title, subtitle, description, startdate, starttime, size, filename, hascutlist, duration, cutduration, videowidth, videoheight, filecodec, videocodec, encoderprofile) VALUES('Video', 'aeblehoest', , 'Mor og Frederikke samler æbler i haven.', , , '0', 'aeblehoest.mkv', 'false', '0', '0', '0', '0', , , 'SP');

I've tried to "google" videoselector but I only got the source file.

It seems that the problem is caused by mytharchivehelper not correctly using the encoding of strings: It only happens if either the title or the filename of a recording or video contains non-ascii-chars.

Hi I don't agree. I have the only the problem with videos and not recordings. I have a video where filename and title = '8210' and when creating a dvd the reported filsize is wrong. :-(
