Mythtv: Can't create HomeVideo DVD

Postby anp66 » Nov 6th, '17, 13:41

Hi all

I have problems in Mythtv.OpticalDisks.ArchiveFiles.CreateDVD.
I canẗ create a DVD with menues.

If I use theme "Simple Autoplay" it is OK and I get the ISO file ready for burning.

If another theme is used ("MythCenter_-_Autoplay"), I get this error:
"Width and Height must be > 0"

I am running Mageia 6.
Mythtv-frontend package is: Version: 0.28.1-20170528.6.mga6.tainted
mythtv-plugin-archive is: Version: 0.28.1-20170528.6.mga6.tainted

When traying to paint some theme text on to an image, calculating line spacing give an error.

This must be an "beginner" error, but a showstopper for me.
Must I install more fonts ?

Am I missing a mythtv package ?

I am not sure I have cdrtools installed,
Where do i find that ?

Have been looking in forums and Mageia Bugzilla without luck.

Hope someone can point me in the right direction.

Below is how I have come to the conclusion above.

Best regards
Anders

From mythburn.log I see this:

From the header of mythburn.py:

Code: Select all
# For this script to work you need to have...
# Python - v2.6 or later
# mythtv python bindings installed
# python-imaging (PIL) or Pillow the fork of PIL
# dvdauthor - v0.6.14
# dvd+rw-tools - v7.1
# cdrtools - v3.01


I think I have installed everything above, but not sure about cdrtools.
Where do I find that ?
If I don't have cdrtools can that be the problem ?

Looking at line 1183 in mythburn.py I get this:

As you can get an ISO file ready to burn with the default theme, your issue seems to be with one of the images in the other theme, and it seems to require an update to pillow as a similar issue is mentioned in
https://github.com/python-pillow/Pillow/issues/2259
I believe it would at least need this patch: https://github.com/python-pillow/Pillow ... dcfe2897f1
