[mythtv] Re: MythWeather - erratic updates?

[Michael Thomson]

Me again.

I've been playing around tonight and finally realised I had to turn on
debug=true in weather.cpp (Duh) so now I get the mythweather messages!

It turns out that I do see one weird area - when all works OK, I get *two*
messages about the radar image completing, and when it busy/hangs I get *no*
messages. about the radar map. See below.

Does this mean that there may be two processes/threads deadlocking on
something related to getting the radar image? (Pure guesswork!)

Cheers
Mike

P.S. Looking at Isaac's earlier message, I tried changing the timeoutCounter
stuff to decrement from 4 and test whether it was >0, to avoid the chance
that it was being reset to zero and therefore never getting to 3 so
stopProcessing was never set to true.

This didn't seem to sort things out (though it seems like a good idea?)

(This worked OK, but why two messages about the Radar Image?)
