Another damned annoyance with my Myth system, this time from SchedulesDirect

Noticed my guide listings were not updating.  Ran mythfilldatabase manually and kept getting this error:

  ERROR 500: Internal Server Error mythfilldatabase

After much troubleshooting, I found this post:

I changed my password to the same password and tad a, works again..  Really frustrating generic error.  Hopefully this helps others.

DD-WRT Buffalo OpenVPN Server fails to start

So maybe this will save someone else some headaches...

I was trying to configure OpenVPN Server on my Buffalo router, running the standard Professional firmware (DD-WRT variant) from April 2011, and it just would not run. The /var/log/openvpn log file would gripe about "Options error: Unrecognized option or missing parameter(s) in /tmp/openvpncl/openvpn.conf:XX: mssfixfragment (2.1.3)"

The GUI in that version is a bit flawed in this area, and it will generate an option in /tmp/openvpn/openvpn.conf named "mssfixfragment". it will cause openvpn fail to start.

So that is the wrong text, it should be mssfix and then fragment. I found the following bug ticket:


"Sash" marks it as fixed without any explanation. So I pulled down the BrainSlayer 16994 build and loaded it (webupgrade version), and all is well now and the config file is created correctly.

iTunes hanging on 'determining tracks to sync' and when opening 'Podcast' tab on iPhone view

Just loaded up iOS 5 beta 6 (was on 4.3.5) and the matching iTunes 10 (v10.5b90). So far, its showing problems where Podcasts are sitting on a Samba network drive. In all honesty, I had some level of slowness before doing this, but never actually had any prevention of syncs, but THIS version really doesn't want me to sync after restoring my phone to defaults.
So thanks to some stracing of Samba, I found an aweful lot of reading of ._xyz files inside the Podcast directories. I assume these are some sort of metadata files for each individual podcast file but for whatever reason until I got rid of them (moved them to a new folder 'old' in each subdir) the damned iTunes just would hang forever. I didn't look far enough into it, but these files are only 4K each and I left iTunes and my phone OVERNIGHT to sync and it was still going. Getting rid of those files and tada, got into the Podcast tab again finally.

Now, I'm not sure what iTunes is doing when it is 'determining tracks to sync' but I can tell it's doing an occasional read of iTunes/iTunes Library.xml and definitely is also having troubles with the Podcasts folder. Once I renamed the folder, I was finally able to reach step 5 of 5 and start syncing my ringtones and apps again.
