Arch Linux

Description:

After running pacman -Syu and updating many packages scripting doesn't seem to work in mediatomb anymore. The log output in /var/log/mediatomb.log now shows:

2011-09-18 02:56:55 JS: function print() {
[native code]
}
2011-09-18 02:56:55 ERROR: missing objectType property
2011-09-18 02:56:55 ERROR: missing objectType property
2011-09-18 02:56:55 ERROR: missing objectType property
2011-09-18 02:56:55 ERROR: missing objectType property
...

Whenever adding new media and the database doesn't get updated with the new content.

I searched through /var/log/pacman.log to find out the updates that may have affected this:
[2011-09-11 05:00] upgraded ffmpegthumbnailer (2.0.6-1 -> 2.0.7-1)
[2011-09-11 05:00] upgraded js (1.8.5-2 -> 1.8.5-3)
[2011-09-11 05:01] upgraded taglib (1.7-1 -> 1.7-3)

I tried to downgrade them but this didn't seem to work. It seems that mediatomb needs some patches since this seems to have broken for other distros as well.

I posted on sourceforge because I did find someone using fedora had the same issue and they have patched it:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/mediat … ic/4547840
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=de … tid=715782

** FIXED
I tested with the svn info here:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=12602

And included the patch for mediatomb-0.12.1.jsparse.patch from here:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=de … tid=715782

Now the scripting is working as expected. It appears that the above patch (jparse.patch) needs to be added into the svn / community version of mediatomb.


Additional info:
* package version(s)
mediatomb 0.12.1-5

* config and/or log files etc.
N/A

Steps to reproduce:
1. pacman -Syu js # Get the latest updated js
2. Add content to mediatomb

Media doesn't get added to the database and you have errors in /var/log/mediatomb.log
