#3032: mythtranscode --infile fails on non default-format filenames
----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
Reporter: ylee at pobox.com | Owner: ijr
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: minor | Milestone: unknown
Component: mythtv | Version: 0.20
Severity: medium |
----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
The
--infile xyz.nuv
flag tells mythtranscode to do its best to figure out the channel and
starttime of the recording '''from the filename itself'''; non default-
format filenames (i.e., those not in the traditional
1160_20070131202900.mpg (or .nuv)
style) prevent mythtranscode from doing so (and which it duly complains
about). This is all well and good, except that mythtranscode '''still
proceeds anyway''', confusing the user. In other words, the resulting
mythtranscode run is utterly useless because the utility doesn't know what
seektable to update in the first place. The only way around this is 1)
first rename the recording back to the default format or 2) instead of
using the more-convenient --infile, manually specify the data
mythtranscode needs with -c and -s.
I suggest that mythtranscode either a) abort immediately if it is unable
to match the recording with the relevant database entries, instead of
proceeding and misleading the user, or preferably b) use the filename from
--infile (which, of course, is also already in the database) to identify
the proper database entries.
