[mythtv-users] HLS producing 0 byte .ts files

[Daniel Frey]

No, I don't think this is expected behavior. I can never play the hls
stream. The .m3u8 files have contents. The .ts files should be the 10
second video and audio segments.

The process has now run to 100% and all the .ts files are still 0 bytes.
Once the hls transcode reaches 2%, you should be able reasonably stream the
recording. But since these files are 0 bytes long, all transcodes fail to
play.
