[mythtv-users] Mythburn revisited - close but no cigar

[Neil Bird]

   [Using PVR-350]

   Following on from my previous thread where I was failing to get projectx to 
do anything, I finally tracked it down to my 'projectx' starter script not 
passing args ("$@") to the java runtime.

   I've added that and it's now doing stuff.

   However, the first thing I noticed was the the mythburn script was passing 
[IRRC] "-o . -p cut_list" and this was giving I/O errors from projectx;  it 
seems to want "-out . -cut cut_list".  So I hacked my 'projectx' script to 
pass '-out "$2" -cut "$4"' instead of "$@".  That seems to have made things 
happier.


  I now have a DVD, which has the progs. on, but it has a no. of issues.

- No sound [menu does, progs. don't]
- no prog/chapter thumbs [is that 'cos I've got "animated" on? didn't notice 
that, will try with static if I can]
- cut list not used [I've edited the lead-in/out off the prog., which works OK 
in Myth, but seems to have been ignored by mythburn]


   Obviously, the lack of sound is the main issue.  Anyone any hints as to 
what to look for?  I was going to attach my log, but I've now seen it's longer 
than I thought.  I'll include any bits I find that seem pertinent ...

   Most obvious bits are the warnings [end, below] about audio errors 
requesting multiplex.
