[mythtv-users] nuvexport mpeg problems -- fixed?

[Chris Petersen]

Ok, I've switched from using tcprobe and/or mpgtx to using mplayer for 
pulling info about mpeg2 files.  This should hopefully solve the rash of 
transcode-related detection problems that people were having with dvb 
and some pvr-x50 files.

Please note that transcode-based exporters (that's most of them until I 
get time to port them to ffmpeg) will still likely not work (someone -- 
one or two at the most -- post to the mailing list if this is the case).
However, changing is_mpeg to 0 (line 124 of nuvinfo.pm) will at least 
give you a usable workaround if transcode can't deal with the files.

and I *will* be switching most modules over to ffmpeg when I have the time.

As usual, the files are in myth cvs and at:

Please also note that mythtv allows for a "system" type of mpeg stream. 
  I couldn't find an example of this to get the correct output from 
mplayer, so if by some chance you have this kind of file, you'll get a 
bunch of data output along with a note to email it to me.  Once I get 
this info, I'll be able to update nuvexport to properly recognize the 
file format.
