Completed Auto-Processing Queue Entries Not Being Removed

[Black Hole]

Taking up from this:

Today I found they haven't cleared the completed tasks from the queue since 5th/6th March (setting is for 5 days).

My queue record (on that machine) goes back nearly a year, so I think that function (from WebIF >> Settings >> Auto-Processing Settings) was broken before installing ntpclient. Neither does it seem very likely ntpclient could have such an effect. On another machine (without ntpclient) it's going back over a year, so maybe it is actually a complete unpruned record and the queue display clips it off (or maybe not – just guessing).

I just tried re-establishing the 7-day default, and WebIF reported "unchanged". This is a bug for another thread.

The answer to this is here: https://hummy.tv/forum/threads/webif-1-4-9-6.10201/

The solution is to install WebIf 1.4.9-6d 1.4.9-6e (see below)

Updated now to WebIf 1.4.9-6e

humax# wget https://dl.dropbox.com/s/y9tgtizkqapt0r2/webif_1.4.9-6e_mipsel.opk
humax# opkg install webif_1.4.9-6e_mipsel.opk

I've updated to the latest WebIF beta (1.4.9-7) and the queue list immediately pruned to 7 days history.

Installing a beta release can be done through the normal package management without specific downloads, but anyone thinking of installing beta packages are strongly advised to read the beta notes (click).
