Cannot monitor folders on external drives #7

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
I can specify local folders for monitoring just fine, but when I specify a 
folder on a mounted external drive and click the "enable" button, nothing 
happens.

What filesystem is the external drive formatted as?

Can you provide the output from the system logs when you press the enable 
button, you should have a bunch of entries from the TranscodingMachine process. 
You can use the Console app to view the system logs.

It's a RAID-1 array formatted with Mac OS Extended (Journaled)

Hm, it seems now that the app crashes whenever I click the "enable" button, and 
no matter where I tell it to monitor. Here is an archive of the crash log, 
console report about the crash, and the transcoder log.

I think the crash was caused by the fact that the folder actions plist file was 
a mess, in turn possibly because I tried a number of different watch folders. I 
cleaned up the plist file with a plist editor and the crashes have stopped, but 
trasncodingmachine doesn't seem to be watching the folder properly either, as 
no conversion starts when files are added to the folder. I used the "Folder 
Actions Setup" app to check that a folder action related to transcodingmachine 
was indeed present, and it is. As a test, I removed the transcodingmachine 
action and set up Breakfast (aka videoengine) to watch that folder and it works 
perfectly. Strange.

Have a look at this issue

http://code.google.com/p/transcoding-machine/issues/detail?id=2&can=1

That user was having a similar problem and it turned out to be applescript 
related

Ah, opening the "/Library/Scripts/Folder\ Action\ Scripts/add to transcoding 
machine.scpt" script in the AppleScript Editor, clicking "compile" and 
re-saving seems to have done the trick! Thanks!
