Notifier loop

[Iván Eyara]

Hi,

The notifier in my panda server is in a loop. When I uploaded my last
video the converted notification could not be received because the
server that had to receive it was not ready.

The name of the original file was (copy&paste from the notifier.log):

C:\\\\Documents and Settings\\\\srojas\\\\Escritorio\\\\Musica de test
para miTiu\\\\cap35.flv

So, notifier tried again, but in this time the notifier changed the
original name, escaping the \ carcater, to:

C:\\\\\\\\Documents and Settings\\\\\\\\srojas\\\\\\\\Escritorio\\\\\\\
\Musica de test para miTiu\\\\\\\\cap35.flv

My panda server is configured by default, so it tried to notify 6
times. By that time, the original file name was escaped to a name
longer than 1024 and notifier said:

ERROR (InvalidParameterValue: Value (C:\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
\........) ... Value exceeds maximum length of 1024)

Since then, notifier is in a loop trying to notify that the video is
converted.

1) How can I delete this video from the notifier queu?

2) How can we prevent this in the future?

Thanks in advance,
Iván Eyara

Hey,

Yes the filenames from windows are a bit of an issue. Evidently my
last fix didn't work. I have put this in the issue tracker for 1.3.
