<div dir="ltr">I posted this in mythv forum, but not

<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>

new-output-file.mpg</div>

<div>3. use handbrake to convert the .mpg file and
put if on my NAS</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>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>

Just an update on my testing on 0.28. If I have the tickbox enable
in the mythtv-set Global -> Job Queue (Global) -> "Save
Original FIles after transcoding", I get the .old file left along
with the .old. If I don't have the tickbox enabled, there is no
.old file, but the original .ts is there but without comm flags or
cutlist.<br>
<br>
So all I have to do for the workaround in 0.28 is mod my script to
copy the original .ts to .tmp then mythtranscode with the -o
option. This assumes no tickbox checked.<br>
