Re: [mythtv-users] Re: Long pause when launching mythfrontend
Yup Paul, you nailed it on the head. I traced it all the way back to where the cdrecord command gets called from the code. Then I tried runnning is as they do (and as you quoted). And of course it paused. I got it working by adjusting my /etc/default/cdrecord file and now it starts up flawlessly. Thank you for your help, even though I didn't listen to it well enough. :) -Greg I had problems with cdrecord --scanbus on my system, took a good 15 seconds to complete, I think mythmusic uses this on startup. Try running 'cdrecord --scanbus' from the console to see how long it takes. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
Re: [mythtv-users] Re: Long pause when launching mythfrontend
Okay, I figured out that the "MusicGeneralSettings" function is really just like the different pages in "General Setup" on the mythmusic setup page. So I divide and conquered it and determined that this line is the one that's killing me: general2->addChild(CDWriterDevice()); I'm guessing it's the line that's linking up the CD Writer device to ATA:0,0,0 (how it's set in general settings menu2) However, it looks correct and the logs don't show anything, even with -v all option. How can I further troubleshoot? Thanks, -Greg ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
Re: [mythtv-users] Re: Long pause when launching mythfrontend
I know, it's been a long time but this problems been killin' me.
I dug into it a little where Paul suggested and I found out that if I
comment out the following lines it loads up very quickly like it should:
(section of code found in mythmusic/main.cpp)
int mythplugin_init(const char *libversion)
{
if (!gContext->TestPopupVersion("mythmusic", libversion,
MYTH_BINARY_VERSION))
return -1;
UpgradeMusicDatabaseSchema();
// MusicGeneralSettings general;
// general.load();
// general.save();
MusicPlayerSettings settings;
settings.load();
settings.save();
MusicRipperSettings ripper;
ripper.load();
ripper.save();
setupKeys();
Decoder::SetLocationFormatUseTags();
return 0;
}
I tried to understand what was going on in the MusicGeneralSettings
function or whatever it is, but I'm totally lost. I'm afraid if I
comment something out in there I'll bust the works. The
commenting out of MusicGeneralSettings makes sense because the pause
also happens when I go into the "General Settings" menu for
mythmusic. It seems there's a problem with setting or loading the
General Settings on my system. I've tried changing my audio
device, directory for songs, CD device but without any luck. Any
ideas for further troubleshooting?
Thanks,
-Greg

If scanbus completes straight away then it isn't that. It doesn't looklike there is much logging in mythmusic, so I can only suggest you
look through the 'mythplugin_init' code - I assume this is the bitthat runs when the plugin registers? It is in mythmusic/main.cpp andsee if there is anything that might be tripping up.

Paul, thanks for the response. I tried out cdrecord --scanbus, it completes right away and it finds both my hard drives (SATA) but there are no CD drives. If I point it specifically at my cddrive (/dev/hda) it also completes immediately and finds the drive. Any more suggestions?

More info: So I figure it must be with the line: "Registering MythMusic Media Handler as a media handler" since it is directly after the other lines which didn't seem to solve to problem. As, I am poking around in the music settings I noticed that entering the "General Settings" menu takes nearly as long as the startup pause.
