Your welcome. Thanks for Great the script.

Although during the test runs I noticed an oddity with logging in my case
that perhaps you could shed some light on?

In my "~/.mythtv/lossless_cut.cfg" file I have set the options
“(keep_log=true) ” and “(logpath="/home/m-user/temp-logs") ”. Yet all
logging is done in /tmp.

The directory (home/m-user/temp-logs) is RW to all. I also tried
“logpath=/home/m-user/temp-logs ” no quotes around the
/home/m-user/temp-logs.

It's not a biggie just thought id ask. Still a Great script.

Kris.
