#12033 closed Bug Report - General (Fixed)

mythmetadatalookup --refresh-all-artwork started by housekeeping no longer runs in master.

Reported by: Bill Meek <keemllib@…> Owned by: Karl Egly
Priority: minor Milestone: 0.27
Component: MythTV - Housekeeper Version: Master Head
Severity: medium Keywords:
Cc: Ticket locked: no

Description

If the hostname for value 'DailyArtworkUpdates?' is set to a host (ofc0 in my case,) then housekeeping doesn't run mythmetadatalookup --refresh-all-artwork.

Changing the value of hostname to NULL re-enables --refresh-all-artwork.

The data field for both values of hostname equals '1'.

Make "DailyArtworkUpdates?" a global option

This makes the DailyArtworkUpdates? setting a global setting so it can be
properly configured on any frontend. This patch does not include any
code to fix an existing improperly configured setting, which could cause
problems in the future, as the per-host option will override the global
one and will be uneditable without direct database modification.

These two commits fix the hostname problem but they change the setting type from string to binary. Was that intended? I'm OK if it was but it made it look a bit weird in mysql when I was checking for the per-host setting.

Nope.

I can confirm, that for some reason, I had a hostname in this field and it was preventing any artwork from being retrieved. Once I nulled out that field, everything worked great the next time the housekeeper ran.

If possible, the fix should either account for a field that has a hostname there (and ignore it?) or perhaps even NULL out the field for the users as part of an update.

I'll see if I can come up with a schema update to fix old values in time for fixes/0.28.

Milestone: 0.280.27
Resolution: Fixed
Status: acceptedclosed

Replying to dekarl:

I see 6 things to consider:

DailyArtworkUpdates plus:Action
No entry in settingsDo nothing
Single NULL hostDo nothing
Single (non NULL) hostConvert hostname to NULL, assume old data is desired
Single host and NULL hostDelete host setting
Multiple hostsGuess which frontend added the desired setting, convert 1, delete others
Multiple hosts and NULLDelete all non NULL entries

The final solution for this was: changeset:e45e1ca on Feb 3, 2014.

After 2 years, it's likely that users will have fixed their entry (or configured it properly after the above fixes.)

And any conversion and especially guesses may not have the desired result. I can compare the sum of the non NULL host's data with the number of non NULL hosts and if it were 0 or the the same as the non NULL host count, then INSERT the NULL version of the setting.

I recall significant discussion on the -users list. Mostly from those that didn't want artwork, so automatically turning it on based on earlier (mis)settings wouldn't be good. Even if I add a warning in the release notes.

I'm closing this as fixed, please reopen if you disagree.
