#13627 closed Bug Report - General (Trac EOL)

mytharchivehelper calls QList without error handling

Reported by: martinscharnke Owned by:

Component: MythTV - General Version: v31-fixes
Severity: medium Keywords: mytharchivehelper QList coredump
Cc: Ticket locked: no

Description (last modified by Bill Meek)

Tested with DVB-T recordings, it seems mytharchivehelper doesn't trap range errors before calling Qlist, and Qlist spits a core dump.

example mythburn.log extract appended:

Failures like this, with a 'difficult' recording, could often be avoided by using the Project-X option in MythArchive?. While it would be nice to have it fixed properly, the workaround might be worth a try.

comment:2 Changed 5 years ago by martinscharnke

I actually *always* use Project-X for my cutlist processing, because I also want to preserve subtitles. mythburn.py doesn't get the chance to invoke Project-X, because mytharchivehelper fails.

comment:3 Changed 4 years ago by martinscharnke

Seeking to find a way to patch mytharchivehelper has led me to dependency hell. I can't compile mythplugins without a compiled mythtv. I can't compile mythtv without taglib 1.7 or greater. Taglib is indeed installed but generates errors when called by mythtv configure due to calls of log10 function ... can anybody share the secret sauce (or source!) that allows me to build mythtv so that I can start attacking the issue of patching mytharchivehelper?

Description: modified (diff)

Not so secret: https://github.com/MythTV/ansible. If taglib is installed, then is the dev package? E.g. libtag1-dev.

comment:5 Changed 4 years ago by martinscharnke

I am still unable to configure mythtv source ... libtag1-dev is indeed installed.

sudo apt install libtag1-dev
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree

libtag1-dev is already the newest version (1.11.1+dfsg.1-0.3ubuntu2).
0 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 0 to remove and 1 not to upgrade.

I can run the ansible recipe successfully to completion

Yet configure still complains:

~/Downloads/mythtv/mythtv$ ./configure
ERROR: cannot find taglib 1.7 or later.

If you think configure made a mistake, make sure that you are using the latest
version of MythTV from git.  If the latest version fails, report the problem to the
mythtv-dev@mythtv.org mailing list or IRC #mythtv on irc.freenode.net
Include the log file "config.ep" produced by configure as this will help
solve the problem.
git pull mythtv
