<div dir="ltr">I posted this in mythv forum, but not
sure if that was the place for it. In 0.27 I used the
following procedure to process some OTA TV recordings
I wanted to save on a NAS:
<div><br>
</div>
<div>1. using mythfrontend, I'd edit the recording
using the detected commercial list and fix any
issues and save the edited list to the cutlist.</div>
<div><span style="font-size:12pt">2. I'd run the
command:</span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>mythtranscode --chanid 1111 --starttime
20160805000000 --mpeg2 --honorcutlist -o
new-output-file.mpg</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>3. use handbrake to convert the .mpg file and put
if on my NAS</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Using this method I still had the original file
within Mythtv.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In version 0.28 mythtranscode will create
'new-output-file.mpg' but it deletes the original
and now mythfrontend can't find it and gets an
error.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If I do not use the -o option it behaves
correctly and mythfrontend finds the same program
and plays it but the cutlist has been applied and
deleted.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>BTW, using the extension .ts instead of .mpg
doesn't change the behavior.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I see nothing in the 0.28 information that says
the intent of mythtranscode changed from 0.27 to
0.28.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Not sure of the rules here, but I've attached the
console log to this email.</div>

<div class="gmail_extra">Hi Jim,</div>
<div class="gmail_extra"><br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_extra">I do much the same thing for some of my
shows, and I have found that if my script makes a copy of the
original recording into the original storage directory, but
with a '.tmp' extension, then the mythtranscode step will
behave as expected. </div>
<div class="gmail_extra"><br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_extra">I do think it's a bug in that it
doesn't make that backup copy, but if that .tmp file is there,
it will delete the original after it has been transcoded, but
recopy (or perhaps rename) the .tmp file back to it's original
filename (in my case it's .ts, but previous versions would be
.mpg).</div>
<div class="gmail_extra"><br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_extra">Just add that step to your transcode
script near the beginning. </div>
<div class="gmail_extra"><br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_extra">The end result is that the original
show is still in your listings and playable and all, but there
is no longer a cutlist associated with it. I presume running
mythcommflag or whatever it's called will re-create one, or it
can be done manually, but all I want is to have the
opportunity to try again should something else go wrong with
the transcoding steps. Generally it works correctly so after
it's been transcoded and saved away, I just manually delete
it.</div>
<div class="gmail_extra"><br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_extra">Hope this helps.</div>

Thanks, George,<br>
<br>
This is a good workaround and I can use this until the bug is
addressed.<br>
