Mediatomb fails to categorize media files
Last modified: 2011-07-12 01:07:23 EDT
Description of problem: Mediatomb scripting support is impaired Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.12.1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start mediatomb 2. Add media content 3. Actual results: "ERROR: missing objectType property" and media file is not categorized Expected results: Media files are correctly processed by the JS engine and categorized Additional info: This post on mediatomb's forum sums it up pretty well: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mediatomb/forums/forum/440751/topic/4547840 It also offers a solution, unfortunately it seems impractical as it involves replacing the seamonkey JS engine with an old version

(In reply to comment #1) > Created attachment 509912 [details] > RPM build error with JS 1.70* The SRPM that builds against js-1.8 contains a patch that makes it incompatible with js-1.70. You'll need to pull the patch out of the spec file to rebuild the RPM against js-1.70
Despite the fact that I know nothing about Spidermonkey, I have a build of mediatomb that seems to be working well with js-1.8 using the default import.js and playlists.js. Please try it and get back to me in this bug, if it solves your issues I will push it to stable and submit the js-1.8 patches upstream for consideration. You can download the packages from koji for your architecture (this will require unblocking and updating to js-1.8): http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=3165206 Note that you may want to add "-D" to the MT_OPTIONS in /etc/mediatomb.conf for testing, this enables a lot of extra debug output in /var/log/mediatomb (assuming you're running mediatomb as a service using /etc/init.d/mediatomb)
Patch seems to work for me, my import.js does its job again.
Confirmed that media items are correctly categorized with mediatomb-0.12.1-11.fc15.i686.rpm. Thanks for sorting this out
