[mythtv-users] silence detection blocks jobqueue [ mythcommflag; silence.py ]

[Stefan Pappalardo]

I don't know what the "14065" is for, but I tried to run the script from command line. Here the results:

1.) /usr/local/bin/silence.py --verbose all --chanid 1043 --starttime 20141015145000 --loglevel debug --nodblog --syslog local7 --presetfile ~/.mythtv/silence.preset

/var/log/mythtv/mythcommflag.log

2.) htop

- mythffmpeg -loglevel quiet -i pipe:0 -f au -ac 6 -
- tail

3.) Waited seven minutes, but the mythffmpeg does not stop/disappear.
