[mythtv-users] Re: nuvexport corrupts video

[Robin Elvin]

Thanks for the reply.

I made the changes and installed again. It now works (Yay!) on some recordings 
but not others. I don't know why but some of my recordings have no resolution 
and these are the ones that cause the errors now. Not the fault of your 
script but it makes it fall over when selecting those shows. I assume these 
fields are in the database somewhere and can be updated?

I also get a lot of warnings about initialised variables and other stuff. Do 
you want some output in case you want to fix this? (This list is obviously 
not the place for that.)
