[mythtv-users] nuvexport fails with'mythtranscode had died early

[cheops]

I'm using Ubuntu Hardy with MythTV installed from the latest packages and
both nuvexport and ffmpeg compiled from latest source (NOT PACKAGES) as per
the various HOWTO's that google turned up.

I'm trying to use nuvexport to export UK radio programs recorded from DVB-T
(Freeview) to MP3. I have had this all working fine on a machine running
Feisty up until a recent hardware failure - I've been successfully producing
MP3's like this for over a year. This just makes my current difficulties
more frustrating!

Nuvexport starts up just fine. I then hit a number to select a show from the
list and the terminal window goes blank. If I wait and do nothing then it
stays blank. If I hit [return] then i get the following: 


Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at
/usr/local/share/nuvexport/nuv_export/ui.pm line 320,  line 1. 


followed by the 'You have chosen to export 1 episode:' prompt.

If I then select 'c' to continue the following happens: 


Choose a function, or episode(s) to remove:  c

Where would you like to export the files to? [/home/user]

Enable Myth cutlist? [Yes] no

Audio bitrate? [128]


Now encoding:  The Doppelganger:  Untitled

Encode started:  Sat May 10 12:29:49 2008

Waiting for mythtranscode to set up the fifos.


mythtranscode finished.

Cleaning up temp files.

Cleaning up child processes. 



I've googled this thing for a week. I've tried with fresh installations of
mythbuntu and mythdora. I've tried building mythtv from source. I've tried
everything I can think of and this thing is driving me crazy!!!!!


I know I'm making a stupid mistake somewhere - but I'd REALLY appreciate
some help with this.


Yours hopefully, 

:-)
