If one starts mythfsd on OSX as a System Daemon using launchd, then os.getenv("HOME") returns None which is an illegal argument to os.path.join(). Here are some fixes in config.py

config.py line 50

paths = ["/etc/mythtv",]
homedir = os.getenv("HOME")
if homedir is not None and homedir!="":
→ paths.append( os.path.join(homedir, ".mythtv") )
for path in paths:
→ filename = os.path.join(path, "mysql.txt")

config.py line 114

paths = ["/etc/mythfs/mythfs.conf", "/etc/mythfs.conf"]
homedir = os.getenv("HOME")
if homedir is not None and homedir!="":
→paths.append( os.path.join(homedir, ".mythfsrc") )
for filename in paths:


Hi there

I have a couple bugfixes for you. These are necessary to make the filesystem work for me on OSX 10.5.8, which it now does.

mythproto.py Line 28

port = int(mythfsconfig.get('myth_port')) # myth_port can sometimes come back as a string. Force integer.

mythdb.py line 529

for mount in os.popen("mount"):
try:
dev, tmp, mountpoint, tmp, type, tmp = mount.split()
mounts[dev] = mountpoint
except:
# Warn rather than crash if the operating system has an unexpected format for mount output
logging.warning(" could not split info from mount command for mount result: %s"%(mount,))


Hi

This is a brilliant idea.

I have a couple comments, and a bug/problem. First off, just so everyone can keep track at home, the full set of dependencies to build and use mythfs on a fresh Leopard 10.5.8 install is as follows:

(1) Download and install XCode
(2) Download and install pkg-config
(3) Download and install MacFuse
(4) Download and install fuse-python
(5) (a) Have a mysql_config file available, as after a MySQL installation
(5) (b) Download and install MySQL-python
(6) Download and install mythfs

Now for the bug/problem: In my case I get the directory structure I am supposed to but when I try to read or list any of the files at the third level (for example, the contents of Programs/ ) I get something like this:

dvr:~ dvr$ ls -l /Television/Programs/MLB\ Baseball
ls: /Television/Programs/MLB Baseball: Invalid argument


In the logfile I get nothing too useful:

2009-11-06 20:38:31,917 [DEBUG] retrieve_items: retrieving items from database for path: /Programs/MLB Baseball
2009-11-06 20:38:31,917 [DEBUG] retrieve_items: executing query: select chanid, starttime, title, subtitle, progstart, filesize, basename from recorded where lower(title) like lower('MLB Baseball') order by title, progstart


I checked, and that SQL query works fine:

1321 2009-11-04 18:51:00 MLB Baseball World Series, Game 6: Philadelphia Phillies at TBA 2009-11-04 18:30:00 17991042580 1321_20091104185100.mpg


Any ideas?
