#18 filename length bug

hi bstard,

I think I found the real problem
the problem weren't the many files in the directory
the problem is the filename lenght
the filename was about 90 characters long, after i
changed it the browsing of that directory worked again

have you changed something there? i remember that it
worked with older versions :-)

ic.. will look at it asap .. again;) I'll create a huge dir (much
lager as 90) on my machine, guess I'll find the problem pretty
fast. Will let yoo know once it's fixed and commited to CVS.

I just tested
/home//Movies/temp/tempAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA/tempAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA/tempAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA/test.mpg
(not it's one long dir, cut it of tobe readable here)

I'ts working for me. When I make the directory any longer it
does kill the KiSS. But when I try to add that killing dir
to Kiss's PC-link 1.3 it doens't let me select it. So I've
to figure out what the max. lenght of a dir is. Currently it
very much looks like this is a limitatation of the KiSS itself..

Just tested a file named
"filenaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaablaaaaaa
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam.avi" (copy-pasted
it from your post), and it does not work.. PClink-13
replaced the "" characters by "S"'s, by doing so it wont
find the file on disk. I didn't tried any futher.. I guess
you're simply using signs/lengths unsupported by the KiSS.
dp500serv will NOT replace the ""'s by "S"'s, by so it
crashes the machine.

Maybe you cant copy-paste me the real filename of the file
that does work on dp500serv-0.2, and doesn't anymore on 0.3
EXACTLY... And please do an actual test with pc-link-1.3,
dont just give me something I can waste my time on.

*sigh*

I don't know why you don't believe me i tested it with the
same filename and the player crashes with your dp500serv
but not with Kiss PC-Link 1.3

Ok now a detailed and tested example only for you:
dp500serv and PC-Link 1.3 Serving both same directory
named "hde1"

Test with PC-Link 1.3 and dp500serv v0.2
Opening the video menu on the kiss
directory hde1 gets listed
I open it
i get the one testfile in that directory listed named:

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.avi

yes 88 "x's" + .avi

ok i press the play button on remote and the file is played

now the same with dp500serv (CVS)
Opening the video menu on the kiss
directory hde1 gets listed
trying to open the hde1 directory
<CRASH> player hangs up, no response, have to reboot it

Ok and now don't tell me it's the players fault it is working
with the original PC-Link 1.3 :-)

OK, will go on with
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.avi (which is a complete other
story as filenaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaablaaaaaa
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam.avi, this one does
not work in both apps)

thnx;)

dp500serv was letting the KiSS die on long filename because
it added a little extra to the filename:
Original: /home/test.avi
Given by (old) dp500serv: /home/test.avi\test.avi

This was doen to get the filename to how up on the Setup menu..
Changed to way dp500serv passes filename, so now lenghts
like PC-link1.3 can be done:
original: /home/test.avi
given by (new) dp500serv: /home\test.avi

But the kiss will still die on too long filenames.. this is
a bug in the kiss. filenames like
"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.avi" will work now (tested),
but filenames twice as long will again let the kiss die.
Maybe think about the way you gives names to files when this
happens ;)
