Autocreqing avdump

Post by energist »

I tried running new avdump on several files without any visible result. No creqs pending, file info in db is still the same, no file locks mentioned in wiki. So the question is: how does it work? Or is it working at all?

For example, I found this file in my collection (it is exactly the same as in anidb, all hashes correspond). Currently video/audio bitrates and length fields are empty for that file. Subtitle info is incorrect as well, there should be two softsubs tracks in there. So I typed in console something like 'C:\Program Files\avdump\avdump.exe -ac:energist:mypass PathToFile', it connected to anidb just fine, displayed hashes, codec info etc. without any error messages. But information in anidb is still the same and i don't see any creqs in 'my place'... So am I missing something here?

yes, it works. there are atm 17k dumps pending, including one for that file. we don't want to proccess all that at once obviously. atm the server checks 500 dumps per day. if everything goes ok that number will be increased soon.

here's a simple diagram explaining what's going on:

Thanks for the info. I suspected something like this, but better be sure.

At 500 per day that's about 34 days to get through those 17k dumps.

Can we get a progress meter or something so people can see about how long it will take their autocreqs to get processed?

Something as simple as a list of how many autocreqs are left for each day remaining to be processed would be fine, because then people could estimate how much time is left until day X is processed.

Also, would it be possible to have some dumps be processed automatically whenever the server's load is low? Getting caught up would probably help encourage the use of autocreqs.

this is not about server load, it's about testing a new system.

it's 2k per day now, btw

Do those numbers include duplicates or things that have already been locked?

files that already have a dump have a counter of how many times the file has been hashed, so it basically should show the number of users who have the file, which is good for validation... that is, of course, if epoximator fixed the matter with the counter increasing everytime you hashed the file again :P

How are these auto change requests being processed? I've put in over a dozen from Jan. 20th to Feb. 7th, but so far only the one that I did on Feb. 5th has gone through so far. If this was a FIFO queue then something is going wrong.

One of the first ones I autocreqed was for this file on Jan. 20th (maybe 19th) and as you can see it still hasn't been processed.

Is this a bug? Are they still queued? Should I resubmit the older ones?

yes. no. yes. no.

mkv and ogm has been prioritized since avi has a mp3 xbr issue (maybe)

(atm: 23501 pending, 30567 done, 5013 unknown)

Ah. Thanks. I wouldn't have guessed something like that.

Are you still doing 2,000 per day?

Also, is there any mechanism that removes duplicate auto change requests or are redundant reqs left queued?

Sorry for all of the questions, but this project has piqued my curiosity. :)

no, actually, avi dumps are on hold until i'm sure about that issue (it's really not a serious one, but). so only new mkv and ogm dumps are done atm, which means far less than 2000 per day (we have reached a normal situation for mkv and ogm). the other formats will be done all at once (since there are relatively few of them) when... i feel like it..

remember that we are talking about dumps here, so there are no duplicate creqs. it can be duplicate dumps for each file, but that has only happened twice so far (meaning that our users have ok hw and no one has tried anything funny). anyway, when it happens, the autocreqer will use the most seen dump as basis for creqing. ie. "corrupted" dumps will not be confirmed by anyone else but the user who submitted it and therefore always lose against the real ones

I just checked, and one MKV dump that I submitted back on 1/30/'07 hasn't been processed yet either:

http://anidb.info/perl-bin/animedb.pl?s ... fid=288541

Is there a reason for that or is it a glitch?

Also, you didn't specifically mention MP4 files. I have several that haven't been processed yet, so I'm guessing they're on hold in that "other" group?

oh, that's what you meant. yes, they are on hold because of pending manual/aom creqs at the time. there's a service for resetting that, but it's not enabled yet.

yes, other group at mp4 (800 dumps, btw)
