[mythtv-users] [SOLVED] Re: transcode errors/segmentation fault

[Maarten]

In the end I found the cause on this thread (wed jan 10, 2007):
[mythtv-users] Mythtranscode - all jobs failing - error 252

It has something to do with  the correct way of calling and some
undocumented options.

Mythweb showed me I also suffered from error 252, I did not notice this in
the log files. When I changed my mythtranscode command from
/usr/local/bin/mythtranscode to just mythtranscode it worked.

Cause are likely to be:
a) an upgrade to an svn version (still 0.20.2)
b) at first install I changed many paths to /usr/local/bin/myth... because
I use some scripting for wake-up/shutdown and xmltv, I guess I also
changed this one.

Hope this helps some others.
