Sirkike, Kimble,

We are here depending on last modified time of the videos. The reason this script is not yet automatically used is the strange behavior of last modified time-stamp. But it wont happen with the video that are cached now onwards because videocache will take care of the time-stamps and will change them every-time a video was accessed.

Thank you for reporting that error.

the newly downloaded files doesn't have to be 'touched' with os.utime() too?

i've just tested here and the video have the same mtime that the upload time in youtube.

Bye.

Kimble,

I already added that line in development tree. Here is a patch,

diff --git a/videocache/videocache.py b/videocache/videocache.py
index ad87424..752aa95 100755
--- a/videocache/videocache.py
+++ b/videocache/videocache.py
@@ -399,6 +399,7 @@ def download_from_source(args):
         size = os.stat(file)[6]
         os.rename(file, path)
         os.chmod(path, mode)
+        os.utime(path, None)
         remove(video_id)
         log(format%(pid, client, video_id, 'DOWNLOAD', type, str(size) + ' Video was downloaded and cached.'))
     except:

Apply that and you are safe. It'll take some time before cleanup script really gets stable. Thanks for your inputs :)

Anon,

If you are using 1.9.1 there is no need to apply that patch.

Thank You!
