[mythtv-users] Can't find videos generated by mythvideoexport

[Martin Moores]

Right, got a bit further with this and understand a bit more

I now see that you have to run mythvidexport once to set the options for
--tformat, then run it again with no options to get it to do any copying

I have managed to run it from the command line, but it does not name the
files correctly for some reason:

user at MYTHTV1:~$ '/home/user/Desktop/mythvideoexport.py' --tformat
'Television/%TITLE%/Season %SEASON%/%TITLE% - S%SEASON%E%EPISODEPAD% -
%SUBTITLE%'
Changing TV format to: Television/%TITLE%/Season %SEASON%/%TITLE% -
S%SEASON%E%EPISODEPAD% - %SUBTITLE%
user at MYTHTV1:~$ '/home/user/Desktop/mythvideoexport.py' --tformat --chanid
1019 --starttime 20101228221500
2010-12-31 10:21:33.222 mythvidexport.py: Using recording -- Great British
Railway Journeys - Filey to Scarborough
2010-12-31 10:21:33.242 mythvidexport.py: Attempting TV export.
2010-12-31 10:21:48.444 mythvidexport.py: Importing content from -- 133021
2010-12-31 10:21:49.037 mythvidexport.py: Copying
myth://Default@MYTHTV1/1002_20101231083000.mpg
to myth://Videos@MYTHTV1/--chanid.mpg
2010-12-31 10:29:33.976 mythvidexport.py: Transfer Complete -- 464 seconds
elapsed

So I just get a file called --chanid.mpg

I then tried from the user job, so changed the user job command in the
backend to:

/home/user/Desktop/mythvidexport.py --tformat %JOBID%

The output in the logs is as before, no copying is done:

2010-12-31 10:39:37.369 JobQueue: Started mythvidexport for "Great British
Railway Journeys":"Filey to Scarborough" recorded from channel 1002 at
2010-12-31T08:30:00
Changing TV format to: 1024
2010-12-31 10:39:37.729 JobQueue: Finished "Great British Railway
Journeys":"Filey to Scarborough" for 1002 at 2010-12-31T08:30:00 recorded
from channel %3

And the naming still seems screwed

Any pointers appreciated

Martin
