Severe error (Green Screen Of Death) with latest slice

[jaidev]

I hadn't loaded it since I run my own emulator...
but slicedump checked it out fine.
Although I suspect it's due to a negative duration value somewhere in the data.

Ok I created a slice with the nerdthings data, creates fine, however there are a few negative duration values in the data.
So I haven't posted the slice yet.. not sifting through 317 files to find them...

I'll wait till morning Tim can remove the offending values from the database and send me the data again.

cheers..

ok i'm the dumbass...

removed two negatives from tvnz data and two very large time values from nerdthings grabber. hope that solves it

I also ran the suspect slice through slicedump; the bit that looked abnormal to me was "There were 4 numeric errors". I don't recall seeing that in good slices(and would fit with negative values). But it's not the usual symptom of bad slices(orphaned records), which is why I tried it out.

Jaidev-you mention you're running your own emulator, are you also rolling your own data? All I'm doing is grabbing the nztivo.slice file and naming it appropriately for the emulator environment, are you doing something completely different? If so, pray tell what?

I cant even go to tims website anymore. It says the pages are missing, and
if I go to the main page it's parked by 'go daddy.com'

Timmy's got a wee bit of DNS woes at the moment, covered in this thread:

Ahh missed that thread. Been quite busy the last wee while.

Thought Tim was being held hostage by some internet guerillas!

[jaidev]

Tim can you pls send me the modified data, so I can make an updated slice..

cheers..
