[mythtv-users] Mythtranscode, custom output directory

[Martin Moores]

Just wanted to bring this one up again, as I have not got any further in
the time since I posted this.

I did stumble across transcode stub (
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Transcode_wrapper_stub), which takes jobids for
recording input.

Part of this script is:

##############################################
#### probably need to adjust this one too ####
        output = task('"%s"' % infile,
                      '"%s"' % outfile)
##############################################

But I did not fully understand what to change exactly, to edit the
"outfile" so the path was pointing to my videos directory.

Cheers

Martin
