Hi!  I'm starting to go crazy over here.  :)  I'm trying to debug a userjob
that's a shell script to transcode the video using ffmpeg.  Unfortunately,
the job is failing on mythtranscode.  Looking at the backend logs, I can
see it's getting executed with:

Mar 11 13:41:33,snoopy,3,23,mythbackend:, mythbackend[32236]: E
UserJob_1846 jobqueue.cpp:2444 (DoUserJobThread) JobQueue: User Job
'/mnt/mythtv/scripts/mythtv-transcode-x264-high.sh
"/mnt/mythtv/default/1189_20160311193900.mpg" "/mnt/mythtv/default/2
(WBBMDT) - 20160311133900.mkv" "1189" "20160311133900"' failed.

When I run mythtranscode by hand with:

$ mythtranscode --chanid 1189 --starttime 20160311133900 --mpeg2

It errors out with this:

2016-03-11 13:47:12.815803 E  Couldn't find recording for chanid 1189 @
2016-03-11T13:39:00Z

However, if I run mythtranscode with the date in a different format like
this:

$ mythtranscode --chanid 1189 --starttime "2016-03-11 19:39:00" --mpeg2

It works fine.  So unfortunately, the %STARTTIME% in the job is putting the
date in as just the numbers while mythtranscode likes the date in the full
format.

Is there something that I'm doing wrong since it seems to be failing?
Thanks!
