#11237 closed Bug Report - General (Trac EOL)

frontend's play program network_control message gives misleading error messages

Reported by: George Nassas <gnassas@…> Owned by: Bill Meek
Priority: minor Milestone: needs_triage
Component: MythTV - General Version: Unspecified
Severity: medium Keywords:
Cc: Ticket locked: no

Description

If you send a misformatted starttime to the frontend's play program command it gives you error messages like "ERROR: You are in playbackbox mode and this command is only for playback mode".

The problem is the test that checks for a play program command also validates it and, on a failure, falls through to the complaint about modes.

The patch disentangles the test and validation parts returns accurate error messages.
