mythcommflag Run from Command Line Never Exits

Post by nello »

Running mythcommflag from the command line starts but doesn't exit for some recordings ... even when running in verbose mode there are no errors and this is all I get:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/bin/mythcommflag --chanid 1021 --starttime 20160110150100 --logpath /var/log/mythtv  -v
2016-01-10 21:30:24.782101 C  mythcommflag version:  [5a5e1cd] www.mythtv.org
2016-01-10 21:30:24.782369 C  Qt version: compile: 4.8.6, runtime: 4.8.7
MythTV Commercial Flagger, flagging commercials for:
    CBS News Sunday Morning

Even when mythcommflag is only rebuilding the seektable it still doesn't finish:

Code: Select all

root@mythtv:/var/log/mythtv # /usr/local/bin/mythcommflag --chanid 1021 --starttime 20160110150100  --rebuild  --logpath /var/log/mythtv -v

2016-01-10 21:35:58.151908 C  Qt version: compile: 4.8.6, runtime: 4.8.7
MythTV Commercial Flagger, building seek table for:
    CBS News Sunday Morning
Rebuild started at Sun Jan 10 21:35:58 2016

Can anyone suggest where I should be looking to debug whatever mythcommflag is stuck on?

Thank you for reading.

Try something like this: mythcommflag --logpath /tmp --chanid 2632 --starttime 20151216040000 -v commflag --loglevel debug
and look at the log in /tmp, not what prints to the screen.

@bill6502: Thank you for your suggestion.

I ran this command:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/bin/mythcommflag --chanid 1021 --starttime 20160110150100 -v --logpath /var/log/mythtv --loglevel debug
Terminal output was the same as before.

Nothing in the log file jumps out at me except for the fact that it hangs:

What am I missing?

It must be obvious; that's why it eludes me!

Re: mythcommflag Run from Command Line Never Exits

Post by bill6502 »

Hi,

Eludes me too. But you missed the commflag after the -v (to get more logging.) Try for
even more with -v commflag,audio,playback (because the last messages are in the av
code (semi-educated guess here.)

Based on the Subject: are you saying that when mythcommflag runs automatically (e.g.
by mythbackend after a recording completes) that it works OK? If so, then I see you're
running it as the root user. Running anything MythTV as root is never recommended. Try
running it as yourself - of course you need the proper ~/.mythtv/config.xml file.

Does your mythbackend run as root too? Or do you use (the recommended --user mythtv
flag?) [Or start it with something that changes the user some other way, e.g. systemd]

@bill6502

Thank you for pointing out that I missed a parameter. Yes,I have MythTV configured to use the mythtv user.

Here's the command you suggested along with the terminal output:

Code: Select all

root@mythtv:/ # su mythtv
$ /usr/local/bin/mythcommflag --chanid 1021 --starttime 20160110150100 -v commflag,audio,playback --logpath /var/log/mythtv --loglevel debug

2016-01-11 10:41:51.935442 E  MythCoreContext: Timeout connecting event socket to master backend
Those two errors at the end of the terminal output look like they are worth investigating. But, permissions look good:

Code: Select all

Bad news is I'm stumped too. The backend communications seems to go away in the
above. What I see next is this:

I didn't see your response to the question about commflag running automatically when the backend
finishes a recording. Does it work when the backend runs it???

@ bill6502

I don't think that I'm running mythcommflag when the backend finishes a recording; how can I tell other than looking at the X11 setup (/usr/local/bin/mythtv-setup) screens, links to which are below?

There is NOT checkbox in "Allow commercial-detection jobs"
http://imagebin.ca/v/2Tu7rpkGtjC0

There is NOT checkbox in "Start auto-commercial-detection jobs when the recording starts"
http://imagebin.ca/v/2Tu8EcqOxZ4u

Is there a log I should be looking at to see whether mythcommflag is being run by the backend?

Thank you for your help.

PS: Sorry for not getting back to you earlier. I've been busy replacing a failed drive in my desktop computer and working on taxes. :cry:

Well, I don't know why but commflag started working again, or at least not going off into la-la land.

But, of course, now I have other questions, which I've posted in a this new thread:

viewtopic.php?f=36&t=1368

Thank you.
