Just wanted to bring this one up again, as I have not got any further in the time since I posted this.<br><br>I did stumble across transcode stub (<a href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Transcode_wrapper_stub">http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Transcode_wrapper_stub</a>), which takes jobids for recording input.<br>
<br>Part of this script is:<br><br>##############################################<br>#### probably need to adjust this one too ####<br> output = task('"%s"' % infile,<br> '"%s"' % outfile)<br>
##############################################<br><br>But I did not fully understand what to change exactly, to edit the "outfile" so the path was pointing to my videos directory.<br><br>Cheers<br><br>Martin<br>

Hi all,<br><br>Just got Mythtranscode working great with --honourcutlist (just some random purple bars at the start of the video).<br><br>Anyway, this is what I run from the command line:<br><br>mythtranscode -i /var/lib/mythtv/recordings/1004_20120219212500.mpg -o /home/user/Desktop/test.mpg --honorcutlist -p MPEG2<br>
<br>Which is fine, but I would like to run this from within myth and to have the output file go to a custom location, rather than the recordings directory, so I have set up a user job with the following:<br><br>mythtranscode -i %DIR%%FILE% -o /media/media/Videos/Transcoded/%TITLE%-%SUBTITLE% --honorcutlist -p MPEG2<br>
<br>But it doesn't seem to do anything, I am guessing I can't have %DIR%%FILE% next to each other like that? I can't see the job start or fail in the backend logs.<br><br>I am possibly going about this the wrong way, so any pointers appreciated. I have considered using Mythvideoexport, but I want my cuts transcoded out, rather than just copying the cutlist over<br>
