I have also had problems playing HDHR MPEG2 recordings using VLC or
mplayer. Some work, and some do not. It seems to follow certain
channels. If I do a lossless transcode, then they all play correctly.
I suspect it has something to do with the MPEG-TS vs MPEG-PS header
information that Myth puts in the recording file.
I posted about this issue a few months back, but got no resolution.
For thumbnails, I use a script like:
#!/bin/sh
if [ $# -eq 1 ]; then
NAME=`basename $1`
ffmpeg -y -i $1 -vframes 1 -ss 00:00:10 -an -vcodec png -f
rawvideo -s 320x240 $NAME.png
fi
or I sometimes use scrot to do a screen capture.
