Appletrailer doesn't work

[ptripier]

Hello,
I'm stuck in the setting of opentivx.
According to the web page, the "appletrailerfs" deamon is on but the directory is empty and nothing is shown on the TViX.

I have this message in the log of appletrailer shows it cannot download and and refresh the movie database.

Code: Select all

My appletrailerfs setting are like this :

Code: Select all

--hide-large-trailers
--hide-1080p-trailers
--tmp-file=/usr/local/tmp/atfs_cache//tmp.mov
--database-file=/usr/share/appletrailerfs/movies.json
--cache-directory=/usr/local/tmp/atfs_cache/
--update-url=http://appletrailerfs.elmarweber.org/files/database/?json
--log-file=/opt/opentvix/usr/tmp/atfs.log
/tmp/mnt/disk1/Video/11-Trailers

Any help or suggestion is welcommed.

Probably not only you that is affected. Might be that atfs needs to be rebuilt due to db changes.
Btw, I did not see your post until today? Forum server issues ?

Well, well!
How do i do that? It sound far above my skills.
Could it be available in a new release?

First try to remove your update url setting. It does not look right. Leave it blank to use the default built-in path.
If it still does not work I will compile a new version.

[ptripier]

Ok. I set the update url setting to blank. I've got this in the atfs.log

For your information, I cannot reach the URL http://appletrailerfs.elmarweber.org/files/database/?json=movies-tvix.json from my computer. Is that normal?

Any clue?

No. I can reach it fine. Can you ping anything on the wan from your tvix ?

It works. After trying what you suggested an my last message, the directory dedicated for the appletrailer was invisible four few hours (in fact I don't know how long, I was watching a movie).

Then it was visible with full of trailers to see. I wasn't believing it could work. I was sure it was a plot like the man on the moon. Now i'm believer.

By the way, thank you very much for your help.

Well, I guess some things are mysteries for a reason Invisible for some hours, well I am not a believer on that one, but hey, if it works it works. And hopefully it sticks over next reboot
