mythcommflag Return Codes

Post by nello »

Is it really true that mythcommflag return codes below 126 should be ignored? That's what seems to be implied by the code posted on this wiki page:

https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Script_-_RemoveCommercials

Scroll down about halfway and you'll see this:

Code: Select all

if [ $ERROR -gt 126 ]; then
        echo "Commercial flagging failed for ${FILENAME} with error $ERROR"
        exit $ERROR
fi
Does anyone know what the mythcommflag return codes mean? I can't find them documented anywhere; sorry if I've missed something obvious.

Thank you.

Codes below 127 is the number of adverts found by mythcommflag.

Codes 127 and above are exit error codes. See here for the exit codes
