[mythtv-users] nuvexport fails to run anymore

[Hugo van der Kooij]

When I try to run nuvexport to export some programs I get this error:

Where would you like to export the files to? [.]
Enable Myth cutlist? [Yes]
Enable noise reduction (slower, but better results)? [Yes]
Enable deinterlacing? [Yes]
Crop broadcast overscan (2% border)? [Yes]
Audio bitrate? [192]
VBR quality/quantisation (1-31)? [5]

Now encoding:  Star Trek: Voyager:  The swarm
Encode started:  Thu Jul 21 19:00:05 2005

Waiting for mythtranscode to set up the fifos.
Starting ffmpeg.
processed:  0 of 95916 frames (0.00%),   0.00 fps

ffmpeg had critical errors:

pipe:: Error while opening file



I noticed the commands itself seem to be called as I see a lot of CPU
activity and the following processes:

The named pipes seem to be there:

# ls -la|more
total 24
drwxr-xr-x   2 mythtv mythtv 4096 Jul 22 22:00 .
drwxrwxrwt  16 root   root   4096 Jul 22 22:04 ..

prw-r--r--   1 mythtv mythtv    0 Jul 22 22:04 vidout
# pwd
/tmp/fifodir_20129

Even as root this action failed in any results.

I can not recall what triggered the failure as it used to work for quite a
while.

However I run my OS + ATRPMS updates regularly so it may be introduced
with one of them.

Any suggestions to find the cause and propably a solution?
