John has updated his script since I provided the HDHR HD workaround, so<br>
the variable names in my snippet are out of date. If you want to try my<br>
workaround you will need to replace:<br>
<br>
CMD="ionice -c3 mplex -o "$1" -V -f 9 $TEMPHEAD.m2v $TEMPAUDIO"<br>
<br>
With something like this (the "mediainfo" package is required for this<br>
to work):<br>
<br>
filename=`mediainfo '--Inform=General;%FileName%' "$1"`<br>
<br>
OUTFILE="$filename".mkv<br>
<br>
CMD="ionice -c3 mythffmpeg -fflags +genpts -i $TEMPHEAD.m2v -i<br>
$TEMPAUDIO -vcodec copy -acodec copy $OUTFILE "<br>
<br>
# tell mythDB about new filename<br>
<br>
echo "update recorded set basename='${OUTFILE}' where chanid=$chanid and<br>
starttime='$starttime';" | mysql -N -u${DBUserName} -p${DBPassword}<br>
-h${DBLocalHostName} ${DBName}<br>
<br>
<br>
You will as need to replace "$1" with "$OUTFILE" in the following lines:<br>
<br>
CMD="ionice -c3 mythcommflag -q --rebuild --file $1 "<br>
<br>
echo -e "Output file is $1. \n"<br>
<br>
echo -e "\nRunning: mythffmpeg -i "$1" 2>&1 | grep -C 4 Video" | tee -a<br>
log$$<br>
<br>
mythffmpeg -i "$1" 2>&1 | grep -C 4 Video | tee -a log$$<br>
<br>
CMD="mv ${TEMPHEAD}_log.txt ${LOGDIR}/$1.PXcut$$.txt"<br>
<br>
As I mentioned above, I am using a modified version of John's earlier<br>
script so this is untested. Let me know if this doesn't work.<br>

OK, thanks for that. I have a first shot at a switchable script and my first .mkv file. It plays in the frontend but I can't step or use the editor on it. I think I saw something recently about that, but it's bedtime now. I suppose MythArchive will choke on it, too.<br>

In other words, it is not editable or seekable as a recording. You need to use "mythexport" or some other script like that to move it to your MythTV Video library where you can play, fastforward, rewind, etc. as you would any imported video.</div>
