[mythtv-users] MythArchive problems

[Matt Rude]

A problem with MythArchive has suddenly popped up as follows:  I was in the
midst of exporting recordings to DVD when the computer rebooted.  (I think I
may have jostled the power cable.)  After the computer rebooted, I tried to
restart exporting the recordings to DVD.  However, instead of giving me any
of the normal screens that allow selection of the recordings, SP vs. LP,
etc., it just jumps right back into the screen that shows the progress of
the DVD creation.  (The screen that shows CANCEL, UPDATE, and EXIT at the
bottom.)  What's on this status screen is, as far as I can tell, exactly
what it showed just before the computer rebooted, but without running the
program that the status screen says is running (ffmpeg, I think).  However,
even if I CANCEL or EXIT (or even reboot the computer) this status screen
shows up every time I try to export to DVD (or to a "native archive").
Help!

You need to remove the content of the MythArchive tmp dir.  Try looking in
the Mytharchive setup and see what you set the dir to then remove all the
crap in the dir and restart mytharchive.

 

Thanks

Another problem I was having before that is that even though I tell
MythArchive I want to use SP quality on a single-layer DVD, it uses some
really awful quality.  (90 minutes of video comes out as 300-400 megabytes.)
What could be causing this?
