[SOLVED] Mediatomb: js broken after pacman -Syu

After running pacman -Syu and updating many packages scripting doesn't seem to work in mediatomb anymore. The log output in /var/log/mediatomb.log now shows:

2011-09-18 02:56:55      JS: function print() {
    [native code]
}

Whenever adding new media and the database doesn't get updated with the new content.

I searched through /var/log/pacman.log to find out the updates that may have affected this:

[2011-09-11 05:00] upgraded ffmpegthumbnailer (2.0.6-1 -> 2.0.7-1)
[2011-09-11 05:00] upgraded js (1.8.5-2 -> 1.8.5-3)
[2011-09-11 05:01] upgraded taglib (1.7-1 -> 1.7-3)

and tried to downgrade them but this didn't seem to work. It seems that mediatomb needs some patches since this seems to have broken for other distros as well. I was just curious if anyone else on archlinux had this issue as it seems after searching for a few days it has not really been posted about. I was hoping someone had a short term fix that I may be able to implement to get this functionality working again.

I posted on sourceforge because I did find someone using fedora had the same issue and they have patched it:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/mediat … ic/4547840
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=de … tid=715782

I downgraded these packages but it didn't seem to correct the problem:

ffmpegthumbnailer-2.0.6-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
js-1.8.5-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
nspr-4.8.8-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
nss-3.12.10-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
taglib-1.7-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

I am waiting on a password reset right now so I can post the information I have found in hopes for a fix to:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=12602  # it seems they need to add another patch for jsparse

Any help / work arounds others have taken would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Re: [SOLVED] Mediatomb: js broken after pacman -Syu

I tested with the svn info here:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=12602

And included the patch for mediatomb-0.12.1.jsparse.patch from here:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=de … tid=715782

Now the scripting is working as expected. I am not sure how to communicate this to the package maintainer for inclusion? Any ideas?

Thanks.
