MythArchive does not export sometimes, due to hascutlist / list index out of range.

[bsg104@…]

Line 2875 of mythburn.py:

if file.attributes["usecutlist"].value == "1" and getText(infoDOM.getElementsByTagName("hascutlist")[0]) == "yes":

Causes python to die with an list index out of range error.

Pseudo-traceback:

All in mythburn.py
Line: 3392, in ?
   processJob(job)
Line: 3178, in processJob
   processFile(node,folder)
Line: 2875, in processFile
   if file.attributes["usecutlist"].value == "1" and getText(infoDOM.getElementsByTagName("hascutlist")[0]) == "yes":
IndexError: list index out of range  

I think that it is because this:

details = file.getElementsByTagName("details")
if details.length > 0:

(Which is around line 752?)

causes the code not to run the node = infoDOM.createElement("hascutlist") sections, as this is in an elif block. So by writing a details section, the hascutlist is missed out of the generated info.xml files.

I'm not sure how to fix this, as I dont know python, however, I copied the section from the elif, and cut out all the duplicated code, leaving the "hascutlist" creation and a few other bits, and now the script is actually running.

I think that there should be an if around the content I copied

if file.attributes["type"].value=="recording":

But I dont really know, and I only export recordings, so I leave that up to you! :)

There is almost definitely a much cleaner solution. *Shrugs*

I hope this helps.

Note further that this only happens when you change the recordings details through MythArchive?. If you leave the details as they were, recording occurs fine. I also think that when you edit the details, sometimes the cutlist is lost (from the exported files, not the original), but I am not so sure on this.

(In [11214]) Make sure we get the chanid, starttime and hascutlist information from the DB for recordings when the script has been passed amended file details in the job file. Fixes #2393.
