Is there an easy way for the software to tell the difference between an audio-extracted peudo-mp3 and an ffmpeg-converted real mp3? It would be nice to have a flag icon in the WebIF media browser to indicate which is which.

I'm confused - audio extraction is by ffmpeg
 
It's not all that confusing - the difference is whether the audio extraction is set for fast (just the MP2 audio stream sent as-is into a .MP3 file, but it isn't really MP3) or slow (properly transcoded to real MP3). The setting is on the Settings page of the WebIF.

Yes, ffmpeg will shows this (on the last line) "Audio: mp2 /Audio: mp3 ":-

Fix for the EPG page showing row 00:00 after row 23:00 which is MEGA-confusing:
Code:
humax /mnt/hd2/mod/webif/html/epg # diff -u service.jim~ service.jim
--- service.jim~
+++ service.jim
@@ -21,7 +21,7 @@
set service [cgi_get service 4170]
set records [epg dbfetch dump \
  -service $service \
-  -sort "strftime('%%H%%J', start, 'unixepoch'), strftime('%%M', start, 'unixepoch')" \
+  -sort "strftime('%%H%%J', start, 'unixepoch', 'localtime'), strftime('%%M', start, 'unixepoch')" \
  -debug 0
]

Hmm, it screws up the final column, for reasons I haven't looked into, but it's certainly less confusing...

And who knows what would happen at DST changes. Maybe this is the wrong fix, but a fix is certainly needed it seems.

While playing around with the RS improved conflict detection, I noticed that the Web-If schedule screen was not highlighting (in pink) a conflict in the same manor as it does on the RS schedule screen, as I missing something?

Auto-unprotect has stopped working.
There is nothing recent in the activity.log file.
The recmon.log file contains this:
Code:
143 /mod/etc/recmon.d/autotrigger:27: Error: /mod/webif/lib/bin/auto:816: Error: Lock not held.
144 at file "/mod/webif/lib/bin/auto", line 816

147 at file "/mod/webif/lib/bin/auto", line 816
148 at file "/mod/etc/recmon.d/autotrigger", line 27
149 Cannot acquire exclusive lock, terminating.
There are two lock files in /var/lock :
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 Apr 24 20:04 .webiflock_dlnahelper
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 Apr 25 18:05 .webiflock_webif_auto

I would guess deleting these will fix it, but how do we work out why it happened?

The lock files are not deleted when the lock is released (they are removed by a reboot)

You could use lsof to find which process, if any, has the file inuse - ie is holding the lock
 
activity.log is (mainly) generated from recmon and auto-unprotect is triggered from recmon so I would check whether recmon is still running. (pgrep recmon)

I have had it go AWOL on occasion
 
It was, otherwise it wouldn't have generated the log lines I posted previously.
But having checked again it isn't now.
 
143 /mod/etc/recmon.d/autotrigger:27: Error: /mod/webif/lib/bin/auto:816: Error: Lock not held.
Ah.. that's to do with the new locking mechanism.. autotrigger passes the 'auto' lock to the auto script. That would have worked before but not now as they are different processes. That means that the locking will not be working properly although I can't see how it would lead to things stopping working altogether.
 
The problem of recmon occasionally terminating for no obvious reason with no visible diagnostics pre-dates the changes to the logging.
I don't think failure of any of the spawned tasks causes recmon itself to fail (I have created enough failures in the past!)

I have turned on recmon debugging level 1 in the hope that I might see some clue
