I looked at Kris's good and bad logs. The issue is with mkvmerge's ability to deal with the videoand or audio tracks. If it encounters what it deemsas "corruption" it does not process the rest of the recording correctly. I have seen this with my own HDPVR recordings. A lot ofthe time I can see some video artefacts in the original recording when played by the MythTV internal player. I see this far too frequently with the PBS News but rarely with network TV programs.<br>
<br>
Unless the mkvmerge utility is made more resilient or a substitute cut/merge utility is found there is little I can do. Of note is that I did try ffmpeg as a substitute but it was no better than mkvmerge and in some cases inferior at cut/merge processing.<br>
<br>
Once I even considered having an option to create Avidemux project files so that the AvidemuxCLI appcould do the cuts but it cannot handle 1080i recordings as well as mkvmerge at this time.<br>
<br>
Kris thanks for your input with this issue.<div class=""><div class="h5"><br>

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Your welcome. Thanks for Great the
script.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Although during the test runs I noticed
an oddity with logging in my case that perhaps you could shed some
light on?<br></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in">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.<br></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in">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.<br></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in">It's not a biggie just thought id ask.
Still a Great script.<br></p>
