Simulating RequiredFiles request?

Asked by Bartek

Hello,

I'm looking for some simple method for emulating client call on server.

From time to time since updating to rc1 some clients skips downloading some of files required to render layout without reason.

For example today one of client don't even try to download 169.mpeg file required to display layout correctly.
This file is mentioned in schedule.xml.

I've already deleted all xlfs, cachemanager.xml, checked blacklist table in sql. In debug log there is info that 0 files are needed to get. Later client tries to display file that not exist:

Aug 17 16:40:34 10.168.101.102 XiboClient[1936]: Schedule - RequiredFilesCompleted: RequiredFilesAsync complete.

From that moment display in stopped, no events connected to display. in log there is only xmds stuff every collection interval tick.
It's still 1.0.7 client version, i'm not sure if it is somehow related to #613209, as there is normal program flow on client, without any layout change during client work, client simply ignores 169.mpeg totally in download part :)

So i want to check RequiredFiles if there is 169 listed, or maybe its some problem with client...

Soapui is your best bet. You can copy the client license and server key from the web interface.

The free version is fine. Alternatively the Linux client dumps required files requests straight out to disk as rf.xml in the client library folder.

And there is result of base64 decoding xlf:

czajka@czajka:~$ cat base64shedule |base64 -d |grep 169
                    </media><media id="169" type="video" duration="0" lkid="10124" schemaVersion="1">
                            <options><uri>169.mpeg</uri></options>
                    </media><media id="209" type="video" duration="0" lkid="10169" schemaVersion="1">

169 is missing in RequiredFiles

Probably my db dump is needed with broken display num? :)

Just sent to <email address hidden>.

Even it here is error in db, no in php code, error in db is a result of some error in desinger code (I can ask a layout author if he was using copy function when layout was created). Server code is unaltered with exception of p4h variable.

Dan and I discussed this and think we have a fair idea why. I'll mark it up as a bug.

Can you help with this problem?
