'Recorded Programs' trying to load pixmaps although show_recorded_pixmaps=false

[daniel.danner@…]

Well, that's it.

It wouldn't be that bad if my backend wouldn't tend to crash everytime MythWeb tries to generate pixmaps for all recordings, but that's probably another issue and not related to MythWeb.

HTH, Daniel

Closing this. I haven't heard any complaints about this bug in months, and the mythweb code is fine.

[daniel.danner@…]

If so, why does mythweb try to load those pixmaps even if show_recorded_pixmaps is false?

I just synced with svn head and tried it again. Going to the recordings view leads to such messages in mythbackend's log:

2006-08-06 01:27:55.827 RingBuf(/mnt/mythtv-unionfs/1127_20060805093000.mpg.png): Could not open /mnt/mythtv-unionfs/1127_20060805093000.mpg.png.
2006-08-06 01:27:55.831 Preview Error: Previewer file '/mnt/mythtv-unionfs/1127_20060805093000.mpg' is not valid.
2006-08-06 01:27:55.832 MainServer: Failed to make preview image.

This is repeated for many recordings so often, until the backend freezes. I agree that _this_ is not mythweb's issue, but at least it should not happen when show_recorded_pixmaps is disabled.

[daniel.danner@…]

Well, I have to correct my statement: The backend doesn't freeze, but it gets unresponsive so that mythweb gives up and closes the connection. But that actually doesn't mean anything. ;)
