Video file not found

[barz-stacks (Maik Barz)]

Hey guys,
just got some ticket requests my Video player Stack isn’t working anymore.
I am pretty sure it worked a few weeks ago as I tested all my stacks…

This happens:

• Drag and drop my bigbuckbunny.m4v video file onto the resources part of RW.
• Setting my file link of my Stack to that resource

Result: No video is playing
Expected behaviour: Video is playing

This gives the inspector:
<video class="video" width=" 150 " height=" auto " x-webkit-airplay="allow"> <source src="" type="video/webm"> <source src="" type="video/ogg"> <source src="resources/trailer_iphone.m4v" type="video/mp4"> <source src="" type="video/mp4"> </video>

clicking onto the video file in the inspector brings me this:

Any ideas?

Cheers Maik

did you test with Stacks 3.1 with the latest jQuery?

[barz-stacks (Maik Barz)]

Stacks is 3.1
I am not sure whether jQuery would break the resource from being available???

[isaiah (Isaiah Carew)]

Sorry, jQuery is just the one big change from Stacks 3.0 and Stacks 3.1 – so it’s the first thing I suggest.

I think it would be helpful to have specific information about the the problem:

• How are you using the resource?
• What do you expect that path to the resource should be?
• What is the actual path to the resource?
• Does this work in Stacks 3.0 (vs. the current 3.1)?
• Does this work in RapidWeaver 6 (vs. RW7)?

@dan it seems the video file during preview is only an alias to the main video file which lies in the .rw file.
It seems somehow the video cannot be played then. Could someone please help me?

If I export the pages it works all fine…

[isaiah (Isaiah Carew)]

@dan & @simon:
This bug is oddly intermittent and very temperamental but I have been able to reproduce it after spending quite a bit of time trying various things. I suspect there is a race condition here – so I would guess that even though this procedure works 100% of the time for me, it may not work on every machine – but it’s a good starting place.

1. Launch RapidWeaver
2. New Project
3. New Styled Text page.
4. Drag an image into the Resources area of the sidebar.
5. Click on the resource.
   note that at this point the resource seems fine in every way showing its image preview appropriately.
6. Click Copy Macro
7. Switch back to the Styled Text page.
8. Add some content to show off the image. I used <img src='%resource(GpWZtCn.gif)%'> and did a Cmd-V to paste in the macro contents in the src section of the tag.
9. Preview the page by by typing Cmd-R
   note at this point the preview is fine and everything seems A-OK.
10. Cmd-R again to leave preview
11. Cmd-P to open a browser preview.
    Now the page is broken
    The image shows the missing image ? and shows now content.
12. Back in RapidWeaver click on the resource in the sidebar.
    Now the resource is broken
    The resource shows a blank icon instead of the expected image preview.
13. Choose Show Server Logs from the View menu. With Terminal or your favorite ninja skillz open a Finder window to the listed path. Look inside the resources folder.
    At this point sometimes i find file and sometimes i don’t. When I do find a file, it’s a link/alias. And attempting to quick look it generates the “This is a broken alias would you like to fix it” dialog.

I know this is a long an involved procedure. I’m sorry I couldn’t find a way to simplify it and still make the bug come to light. If you are unable to make it happen, let me know, I seem to have a pretty solid procedure down for my machine, I can run through it and gather data for you if needed.

We’re looking at these issues at the moment - for the video issue described above: I’ve managed to replicate it, and I’m fairly certain I know where the issue is coming from (it’s inside RapidWeaver).

@isaiah: yours seems like a different issue. First of all, can you confirm that you’ve got Smart Quotes disabled or that you’ve selected all text and chosen Format -> Clear Smart Quotes? If you’ve done that, could you send me a project file to look at please? From your description, it sounds like some other things are happening here too…

[isaiah (Isaiah Carew)]

@simon – please read the report again. I believe that question is well answered.

Note that the first time I preview the page it works fine. (step 9)
And also that the resource display itself is broken (step 12)
And that the file is missing/broken (step 13)

All of these things indicate that it has nothing to do with the code i entered (which is why i included them).

Isaiah

[isaiah (Isaiah Carew)]

@simon – saving the file and re-opening changes the behavior – which is why included the step by step.

[simon (Simon Maddox)]

It’s better to confirm this before we spend hours investigating…

Could you share the output of lsof -c ScopedBoo please?

[isaiah (Isaiah Carew)]

sure. no idea what this means, but here you go.

if you’d be kind to inform a n00b how this info is useful – i’d be happy to do this step myself before reporting bugs:

[simon (Simon Maddox)]

@tpbradley suspects that it’s related to the issue he was speaking with you about recently (where a bug in OS X is causing some scoped bookmarks to never be released).
Have you rebooted since seeing the issue? Does it happen now? (I’d suspect that it doesn’t, looking at that output)

Going back to the issue raised by @barz-stacks, we think it’s because RapidWeaver’s web server doesn’t support ranged HTTP requests right now. I think we’ve got everything we need to fix that one.

[isaiah (Isaiah Carew)]

I have not rebooted. and if I perform the steps I listed the same thing still happens.

[isaiah (Isaiah Carew)]

@simon: since there’s some doubt as to whether this even happens or not – i made a movie. it shows me doing the bookmarks command. then following the above procedure.

it behaves exactly as reported:

the preview starts working, then fails, then the resource is broken and the preview folder shows no file.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/433436/ResourcesBug.mp4

also worth mentioning: as usual when making a movie i kept forgetting to do various things – so i restarted 3 times. each time the behavior was identical. following this procedure the bug is 100% repeatable for me.

[simon (Simon Maddox)]

Thanks for the detail - it does help, even if it sounds daft

Could you send me the project file too?

[isaiah (Isaiah Carew)]

yep

[barz-stacks (Maik Barz)]

@simon are making progress or do you need any more infos?

[simon (Simon Maddox)]

@barz-stacks: nope, I think we’ve got everything we need for this one - thanks. I can’t say whether @tpbradley will have it done in time for 7.0.2 but I know it’s definitely being worked on.

[barz-stacks (Maik Barz)]

Ok, thank you. Then I can tell my customers already something. By the way, is there a workaround at the moment?

[isaiah (Isaiah Carew)]

I’ve heard from a number of different developers who seem to be getting support email about this one. Seems pretty widespread. might be worth considering holding the next release to make sure this gets in.
