[mythtv-users] Transcode Found end of file without fining any frames

[Ian Barton]

I have got a number of mpg files recorded from DVB-T where I can't 
remove the commercials. I am using 0.21 fixes. The command I am using is:

mythtranscode --showprogress --honorcutlist --mpeg2 -c $CHANID -s 
$STARTTIME -o $VIDEODIR/$FILENAME.tmp

Output below:

mythtv at mythtv:/usr/local/bin$ ./removecommercials.sh /home/mythmedia/

Transcoding failed for 1012_20080229165900.mpg with error 247

If I try to rebuild the seek table (command below) I get no progress 
info from transcode and the resulting output file is zero bytes in length.

mythtv at mythtv:/home/ian/devel/mythtv-0.21/mythtv/contrib$ mythtranscode 
--showprogress   --mpeg2 --buildindex --infile 
/home/mythmedia/1012_20080313165900.mpg --outfile 
/home/mythmedia/1012_20080313165900.mpg.tmp

The files themselves play back with no problem.
