logging in RecordingProfile::CompleteLoad
(libs/libmythtv/recordingprofile.cpp) I can see that the correct
profile is being loaded. From a log of database calls, I can see
that the settings are being retrieved properly from the
codecparams table in the database.</p>
<p>However, in MpegRecorder::SetIntOption
(libs/libmythtv/recorders/mpegrecorder.cpp),
profile->byName(name) fails to find any of the settings from
that table. With the additional logging code I get:</p>
<p>SetIntOption(...mpeg2bitrate): Option not in profile.<br>
SetIntOption(...mpeg2maxbitrate): Option not in profile.<br>
SetStrOption(...mpeg2streamtype): Option not in profile.<br>
SetStrOption(...mpeg2aspectratio): Option not in profile.<br>
SetStrOption(...mpeg2language): Option not in profile.<br>
SetIntOption(...samplerate): Option not in profile.<br>
SetStrOption(...mpeg2audtype): Option not in profile.<br>
SetIntOption(...mpeg2audbitratel1): Option not in profile.<br>
SetIntOption(...mpeg2audbitratel2): Option not in profile.<br>
SetIntOption(...mpeg2audbitratel3): Option not in profile.<br>
SetIntOption(...mpeg2audvolume): Option not in profile.<br>
SetIntOption(...width): Option not in profile.<br>
SetIntOption(...height): Option not in profile.<br>
SetIntOption(...low_mpeg4avgbitrate): Option not in profile.<br>
SetIntOption(...low_mpeg4peakbitrate): Option not in profile.<br>
SetIntOption(...medium_mpeg4avgbitrate): Option not in profile.<br>
SetIntOption(...medium_mpeg4peakbitrate): Option not in profile.<br>
SetIntOption(...high_mpeg4avgbitrate): Option not in profile.<br>
SetIntOption(...high_mpeg4peakbitrate): Option not in profile.</p>
<p>It's as though the settings are being initially loaded into a
part of the profile that is different from where it's being asked
to look in SetIntOption and SetStrOption. The fact that the two
settings beginning with "high_mpeg4" aren't being set is what's
causing my HD-PVR to always record using the default values (the
highest possible bitrate), which takes up considerably more disk
space than similar recordings in 0.28.<br>
</p>
<p>Unfortunately, my understanding of how this should work is
lacking, and so I'm hoping someone else here with more knowledge
than I have can help.<br>
