Comment (by liam_philpott@…):

 I too came across this problem, but I'm using ffmpeg. I'm no Perl expert,
 but I modified export/ffmprg.pm as follows to get it working:

 At the top of the file:


 {{{
     use Time::Local;
 }}}

 Then, down at around line 182, where the $mythtranscode command is
 constructed:



 {{{
         @t = localtime($episode->{'recstartts'});
         $utc_offset_in_seconds = timegm(@t) - timelocal(@t);

     # Here, we have to fork off a copy of mythtranscode (Do not use
 --fifosync with ffmpeg or it will hang)
         my $mythtranscode_bin = find_program('mythtranscode');
         $mythtranscode = "$NICE $mythtranscode_bin --showprogress"
 #                        ." --logpath /tmp --loglevel debug"
                         ." --profile '$episode->{'transcoder'}'"
                         ." --chanid '$episode->{'chanid'}'"
 #                        ." --starttime
 '".unix_to_myth_time($episode->{'recstartts'})."'"
                         ." --starttime
 '".unix_to_myth_time($episode->{'recstartts'} -
 $utc_offset_in_seconds)."'"
                         ." --fifodir \"/tmp/fifodir_$$/\"";
         $mythtranscode .= ' --honorcutlist' if ($self->{'use_cutlist'});
         $mythtranscode .= ' --fifosync'     if ($self->{'audioonly'} ||
 $firstpass);

 }}}


 So I added the lines that create the '@t' and the '$utc_offset_in_seconds'
 variables, at the start. Then I modified the '--starttime' parameter to
 take account of the UTC offset. This seems to work for recordings created
 both before and after the changeover from Daylight Saving Time.

 I know it's not a definitive solution, but it might help others and
 provide someone more able with some help to create a proper fix.
