mythtv svn revision 11723

Just upgraded to latest SVN version.

When I try to record from my PVR250 card I get:-

I've been able to reproduce this, working on a fix.

[danielk]

(In [11725]) Refs #2679. Use SetStrOption?() convenience function for setting recording profile options in MPEGRecorder.

This prevents the segfault since the RecorderBase? convenience function does a NULL pointer check. I'm still working on the underlying problem which appears to be a problem with Triggered configuration groups that should be saving all their children, so this problem is only happening with new ivtv recorders you add (and probably some other recorders with required options where a null check on byName() is not performed).

[danielk]

(In [11726]) Fixes #2679. A change late I made while cleaning up the [11722] patch for SVN broke byName() inheritence...

I've also fixed problems with the TriggeredConfigurationGroup? load and save methods which contributed to the problem.

Unfortunately the fix breaks binary compatibility so I've incremented the binary version again..

[danielk]

(In [11731]) Refs #2679. Fixes other places where the result of Settings::byName() was being used without checking for a null pointer.

Most of the recorders were already using the safe convenience methods, but the older NVR and Transcode weren't and TVRec had an unsafe method that wasn't being used anywhere and I've removed it to protect the innocent.

Did this not make it into 020-fixes, then? I recently updated and had to set up new video sources for SchedulesDirect? - but am experiencing this problem and the difference between the files in your patchsets between -fixes and head are significant.
