#8702 closed defect (fixed)

MythDownloadManager broken when used via MythUIImage::Load

Description

This is being used by MythWeather? for the static (and soon animated) maps, and it was working, but now is not. Seems that the changes for async loading broke it somewhat.

The following is a partial backtrace of the coredump I get when I start mythweather.

#0  0x00007f243a023da0 in QNetworkAccessManager::cache() const ()
   from /usr/lib/libQtNetwork.so.4
#1  0x00007f244169fd53 in MythDownloadManager::GetLastModified (
    this=0x7f242cd63df0, url=...) at mythdownloadmanager.cpp:950
#2  0x00007f2441220334 in MythUIHelper::LoadCacheImage (this=0x7f242c002db0,
    srcfile=..., label=..., cacheMode=kCacheCheckMemoryOnly)
    at mythuihelper.cpp:1427
#3  0x00007f2441235974 in MythUIImage::Load (this=0x4917f30,
    allowLoadInBackground=true) at mythuiimage.cpp:604
#4  0x00007f2424b238b3 in WeatherScreen::prepareScreen (this=0x6265e80)
    at weatherScreen.cpp:138

The problem is that m_manager == NULL, and the call to m_manager->cache() blows up because NULL->cache() is rather invalid.

I would consider this to be a blocker as it will crash the frontend any time it is used.

Resolution: fixed
Status: newclosed

(In [25462]) Add a flag to indicate when the MythDownloadManager? thread is fully initialized and running. This fixes a race condition seen when the GetLastModified?() routine tried to the the QNetworkAccessManager instance before MythDownloadManager::run() had finished initializing and enterring its loop.

Closes #8702.

NOTE: This does change the binary API version, so make clean, etc..
