[mythtv-users] HD-PVR resolution detection

[DISAFAN]

I've been trying to change my method of output to the mythnuv2mkv 
script, and I discovered a problem. After some searching, I traced the 
problem to the container of the H264 files output by the HD-PVR recordings.

The mplayer command is used to detect width and height. However in all 
files the ID_VIDEO_HEIGHT/WIDTH parameter is set to 0. So all the 
detection fails.

So the question is two-fold. Does anyone have any suggestions for a 
script to aid me in detecting and setting these parameters? Then I could 
batch convert the directory to include them. It seems ultimately easier 
than trying to change the method of detection on a multitude of scripts 
that use Mplayer.

The second question is...since no one else has reported this problem, 
why is this being set to 0 instead of the resolution? What is 
responsible for setting the resolution, the HD-PVR firmware or the 
MythTV recorder? If it is the latter, is this something I should submit 
as a bug?

My contribution to the bug process has never been particularly useful.
