That error would be output (on some systems--like yours and mine--at
least) because line 137 uses "exit" rather than "CORE::exit". However,
line 137 is only executed if the ffmpeg call fails. The error message
you should have gotten is "Can't do ffmpeg: /usr/bin/ffmpeg -y -i
<recording filename> -s 320x240 -r 24 -f flv -ac 2 -ar 11025 -ab 64k -b
256k /dev/stdout |".
So, reasons you may get that include:
a) Your ffmpeg is installed in /usr/local/bin. If so, "ln -s
/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg /usr/bin/ffmpeg" should fix it.
b) Your recording files are not accessible (in the proper location)
on your MythWeb server
c) Your ffmpeg is expecting different arguments
d) You removed too little/too much from the ffmpeg command line.
e) Something else... :)
