[mythtv-users] auto-transcode and keyframe indexing

[Nicolas Will]

Hello all,

I am a DVB-T user.

I am using the lossless MPEG-2 transcode to go from transport streams to
program streams and save the average 20% disk space.

I have set the commercial detection to run after the transcode.

So things should be running in that order:
     1. record
     2. transcode
     3. generate keyframes index (as part of transcode)
     4. commercial detection

I have noticed that since I've set the auto-transcode that none of my
recordings have a proper keyframe index.

Manually re-indexing using mythcommflag makes ffwd and rwd fine again.



I have looked at the logs, and yes, the transcode script forces a
keyframes indexing.

However, the transcode script appears to first generate an <original
file name>.tmp file. The re-indexing also appears to be run against
this .tmp file. Then there should a swap to the original file name, as
the .tmp file is never mentioned again and the file is not on disk
anymore.



I have left a backend log starting at recording end and ending after the
commercial detection here:

I'm running Mythbuntu 8.10, using the packaged MythTV:

nico at favia:~$ less /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log
nico at favia:~$ mythbackend --version
