SCHEDULED_ERR - Could not schedule video for download

Anon,

Check if there is something like PARAM_ERR in videocache log. If not then comment line number 463 in /usr/share/videocache/videocache.py and then restart/reload squid.

If the problem still persists, can you please paste your complete videocache log on pastebin?

Thank You!

Anon,

I can't really figure out what is wrong with your installation. Anyways contact me using contact tab. We'll try to resolve this via email.

Thank You!

Hi,
I´ve got the same problem! My log is complete equal to anon´s entry.
Maybe a version issue?
Suse 11.1-64bit
python 2.6.0-2.21.1-64
python-urlgrabber 3.1.0-178.9
python-iniparse-0.3.1 (from source)

Thank you for videocache!

Anonymous, Tillski,

It was a version problem. Please install/reinstall by downloading a fresh version. Sorry for messing things up.

Thank You!

Anonymous,

One videocache installation can be used with two squid. But you have to apply certain hacks for that. Follow these steps.

1. Copy the file /usr/share/videocache/videocache.py to /usr/share/videocache/videocache2.py.
2. Open the file /usr/share/videocache/videocache2.py in any editor change the line #42 to

mainconf =  readMainConfig(readStartupConfig('/etc/videocache2.conf', '/'))

3. Copy the file /etc/videocache.conf to /etc/videocache2.conf.
4. Open the file /etc/videocache.conf in any editor and change the option rpc_port to 9200.
5. Now copy the lines to squid.conf (from installation page). Change the first line to

url_rewrite_program /usr/bin/python /usr/share/videocache/videocache2.py

6. Restart/reload the squid service.

Thank You!

Anonymous,

Congratulations for the setup. And thank you for using videocache.

Recently I've install new proxy server: Ubuntu 9.04, Squid + Videocache 1.9.1... and I have similar problem "SCHEDULED_ERR - Could not schedule video for download"... but I've other machine with Ubuntu Interpid and Videocache 1.9 and everything is ok... configuration is quite similar. Any suggestions?

I'm having the same problem here, running Ubuntu 9.04, Squid3 and VideoCache 1.9.1. All dependencies are installed correctly and the directories permissions are set to proxy:proxy (the user:group of squid in Ubuntu).

As a side note, I used the Cherokee webserver instead of Apache, but I don't think this would be the problem.

I am having the same problem. I can't post it now because I don't have access, but my videocache.log file imitates the original posters. I am running Ubuntu 9.04 (server edition), Squid 2.7 (I've also tried 3, same problem), Apache 2, and VideoCache 1.9.1. I had problems with the permissions for some files, and that was causing Squid to crash, but I fixed that now. I've enabled http_access on Squid for itself. I've tried everything I can think of really.

The box it's installed is firewalled so that it can only access the internet through another Squid proxy, and I've set it up so that all connections are forced through this proxy on Squid: could this be the cause of the problem?

I am having the same problem. I am using CentOS 5.3 with all the required packages installed.

Please let me know how to resolve this issue, as i need this to work in my setup.

I have successfuly installed videocache but it is giving me SCHEDULE_ERR. I tried google but it was of no help, for the first time google was unable to provide any help.

Please help me out in resolving this issue so that i can enjoy the use of this marvelous utility.

Looking forward for a quick and helpful reply.

THIS POST ASSUMES your problem is the same as described below. If it doesn't work, you've got a different issue.

I was receiving this error on FreeBSD 7.2 with videocache 1.9.1 and Python 2.6.2. I'm assuming its the same issue I had which is videocache is referencing an unknown function, 'splitquery', in the module 'urllib2'. This function is present in the previous version of the module, 'urllib'. I fixed the problem by reverting to using the older module.

I'm not sure which version of Python the videocache developer is using which includes 'urllib2.splitquery'. That would be interesting to know. For now, here's a patch to fix this issue.

Save this patch in a file called urllib2.splitquery.patch in the videocache directory from the tarball. Run patch -p0 < urllib2.splitquery.patch to modify videocache/videocache.py. It *should* work.

I have ubuntu intrepid server+ (no apt-get) squid + videocache (setup script)

I had the same problem, and in the post talk about versions and deprecated functions.

I decided to install an earlier version of python (2.5)

apt-get install python2.5

edit squid.conf and i change python env

# --BEGIN-- videocache config for squid
url_rewrite_program /usr/bin/python2.5 /usr/share/videocache/videocache.py
url_rewrite_children 7

i only change /usr/bin/python for /usr/bin/python2.5

now im caching videos weeeeeeeeeee

I hope that you will find it useful
