Description

For some reason video conversions are now not being triggered after uploading a video file. It could be that I screwed up with the "if there's not a file attached don't convert" code from ticket:98

Video conversion is now working ok (I tweaked some config files) but it appears that the front page, latest featured videos, and video show page caches are not being expired properly, pointing to a problem in the videos_sweeper.

Ditching subclassing on the sweeper seems like the easiest fix for now.

Ok, the problem is narrowing down. The problem isn't the subclassing, it's the fact that backgroundrb doesn't fire the sweeper when a video gets saved after being encoded. At least, it doesn't on the dk server. It maybe is working locally, for whatever reason...

It didn't actually work locally, it was just that the cache gets rewritten on every request in development mode. I've solved this one by manually blowing out the cache when the backgroundrb process completes, see r182.
