Mytharchive calls mythtranscode (from mythburn.py) with incorrect
starttime, resulting in mythtranscode not finding the recording and
erroring out.<br>
<br>
The actual recording start time of this example is 13:36:00 local
time, Chicago Time Zone (-5 hours from UTC)<br>
The mythconverge database entry is 18:36:00 (that's the UTC time)<br>
<br>
<br>
mythtranscode reports, via mythburn.log"<br>
******************************************<br>
*"Couldn't find recording for chanid 1211 @ 2013-09-24T13:36:00Z"<br>
*"Failed while running mythtranscode to cut commercials and/or clean
up an mpeg2 file."<br>
*"Result: 146, Command was mythtranscode --mpeg2 --chanid 1211
--starttime 2013-09-24T13:36:00-05:00 --outfile
"/var/lib/mytharchive/temp/work/1/newfile.mpg""<br>
*"Failed to run mythtranscode to fix any errors"<br>
******************************************<br>
If I run mythtranscode from the command line this works:<br>
mythtranscode --mpeg2 --chanid 1211 --starttime
2013-09-24T18:36:00-05:00 --outfile
"/var/lib/mytharchive/temp/work/1/newfile.mpg"<br>
<br>
and, oddly enough, this command line works too:<br>
mythtranscode --mpeg2 --chanid 1211 --starttime 2013-09-24T18:36:00
--outfile "/var/lib/mytharchive/temp/work/1/newfile.mpg<br>
<br>
So there are two problems.<br>
1) The -05:00 at the end of --starttime seems to be ignored<br>
2) The command line that is passed to mythtranscode has the local
--starttime in it, not the UTC starttime, which is what is in the
database and what mythtranscode seems to like.<br>
<br>
This worked fine under 0.25, but fails consistently after upgrading
0.27. I also tried a clean install of the latest Mythbuntu,
upgraded it to 0.27, then installed mytharchive via the Mythbunutu
control center and still get the same failure. It is consistent and
repeatable.<br>
<br>
Mythtv Revision: v.027-9-gb6a6574 branch: fixes/0.27<br>
Mythbuntu 12.04.3 LTS<br>
<br>
I have attached the complete mythburn.log<br>
<br>
Any advice on what I might be doing wrong or a fix would be
appreciated. <br>
Thanks,<br>
