[mythtv-users] mythtranscode silently dies

[Andrew McNabb]

I've had a problem with mythtranscode which has made it impossible to
export recordings.  It's been bothering me for a while, and with
Google I've found people out there that have had similar problems but
never a solution.

When I try to run mythtranscode on a recording that's more than a few
months old, it silently quits.  There's no error message and no apparent
cause.

I've tried running strace on it.  The command line for this is as
follows:

strace mythtranscode --showprogress -p autodetect -c 1013 -s
2005-01-23-17-28-00 -f "/tmp/fifodir_9265/" --honorcutlist

The end of the trace is as follows:

fcntl64(6, F_SETFL, O_RDWR)             = 0
write(6, "U\0\0\0\3SELECT data FROM settings W"..., 89) = 89
read(6, "\1\0\0\1", 4)                  = 4
read(6, "\1", 1)                        = 1
read(6, "\30\0\0\2", 4)                 = 4
read(6, "\10settings\4data\3\377\377\0\1\374\3\20\0\0", 24) = 24
read(6, "\1\0\0\3", 4)                  = 4
read(6, "\376", 1)                      = 1
read(6, "\1\0\0\4", 4)                  = 4
read(6, "\376", 1)                      = 1
munmap(0xb5b48000, 372736)              = 0
munmap(0xb7f4a000, 8192)                = 0
exit_group(0)                           = ?


Before I go hunting through mythtranscode's source code, does anyone
have any ideas of what could be causing this or of anything I could try?
Thanks.
