[mythtv-users] More problems with Mirobridge

[Doug Vaughan]

Nasa,
    A test to try. Add two cron jobs that have the following commands

env `dbus-launch` sh -c 'trap "kill $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_PID" EXIT; 
/usr/local/share/mythtv/mythvideo/scripts/mirobridge.py -Vt' > 
"/tmp/envtest_mirobridge.log" 2>&1

and

ffmpeg --help > "/tmp/envtest_ffmpeg.log" 2>&1


Pastebin the results from the two log files and post the link to this 
thread. Make sure the pastebin will not be removed from at least a few 
days. Even though "--help" is not a valid argument for ffmpeg it will 
verify that ffmpeg can be accessed within your cron environment. Do not 
bother changing this parameter to the valid "-h".

I am suspicious that ffmpeg is not available to the cron environment. 
This test must be run from your regular crontab not just a one off cron 
job. Once you run the test and have captured the results you can remove 
the two cron jobs.

As far as the odd naming of the Geekbrief video I do not know but lets 
deal with one issue at a time.

Has MiroBridge ever worked for you? If it has then when did it stop 
working and what has changed within the period that it stopped working?
