SCHEDULED_ERR - Could not schedule video for download.

Hello!

I always receive a: SCHEDULED_ERR - Could not schedule video for download in every request.

System is Debian Lenny. Cache Dir is writeable by videocache.

df -h|grep spool
179G 89M 179G 1% /var/spool/squid3
99G 188M 94G 1% /var/spool/videocache

Has anyone used videocache in a large deployment? I am currently evaluating whether videocache is able to handle about 4500 users.

Greetings Torge

Hi Torge,

This error is caused by XMLRPC server. Please check if port 9100 is blocked by iptables or other firewall products on your local machine.

Thank You!

Communication on port 9100 is fine. I already checked it.

I added some more debug output and now have fixed this issue. I am not quite sure, what caused this.

I also found out that my temporary directories and the download directories where not created automatically:

DOWNLOAD_ERR YOUTUBE An error occured while retrieving the video.[Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/spool/videocache/tmp/e1b79835a5ddcfc9'

One might change this.

In addition it would be helpful to do better exception handling. a simple try/except will catch all exceptions but one has no clue what went wrong.

As a minimum you should do:

try:
except Exception, e:
log... +str(e)

or something like this and not:

try:
except:
log (Error has occured)

Videocache works now for me. Thanks

Greetings Torge

Hi Cygnus,

Great work! Videocache is accompanied with a update script using which you can update system in accordance with your videocache configuration. See update script page.

I agree with you on the exception part. But this is a one man army trying to fix different things, update videocache to support more sites and at the same time providing support in forums without much donations to the project from the users. Videocache was free initially but lac of donations forced me to charge for it. I had to take time out of my office hours to work on it and that way my regular work is hurt. Still I try my level best to provide support as soon as possible.

Thank you for suggestions :)

Hi!

Check port 9100 on your machine. It should not be blocked.

Thank You!
