mythtranscode error 128

Post by nello »

I'm trying to flag and remove commercials in a user script. The basic flow is:
- Flag commercials with mythcommflag
- Create cutlist with mythutil
- Create commercial-free mpeg2 file with mythtranscode

The full logs from each of these steps are below.

Mythcommflag seems to flag commercials fine, though it does throw one error:

2016-06-09 02:08:44.879893 E [11834/102060] Decoder avformatdecoder.cpp:4955 (GetFrame) - decoding error

Mythutil runs without any errors.


Mythtranscode throws hundreds of warnings about finding a partial frame and ultimately throws an error because it runs out of queue slots and then returns error code 128:

2016-06-09 02:08:49.888156 W [12175/101807] CoreContext mpeg2fix.cpp:916 (ProcessVideo) - Warning: partial frame found!
...

This sequence of warnings and errors occurs with all recordings, regardless of channel or time of day.

How can I get around this error in mythtranscode in order to produce commercial free recordings?

Thank you.

mythtv version?
what are the commands your script is using?
im going to take a guess and assume you are using the --mpeg2 option. this option is for lossless cutting of mpeg2video files, the file you are trying to cut is h.264. for h.264 you will need to use fifo mode or look into one of the lossless h.264 scripts.

Yes, the command I'm using is in the form of:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/bin/mythtranscode --chanid <CHANID> --starttime <UTC_STARTTIME> --mpeg2 --honorcutlist --outfile /media/tmp/<CHANID>_<UTC_STARTTIME>.mp2 --logpath /var/log/mythtv --loglevel debug"

What controls the whether the file is recorded as a mpeg2 or h.264? Or, more precisely, what should I do to test whether a file is mpeg2 or h.264 (so that I build the mythtranscode command correctly)?

Could you please be more specific about what you mean by "one of the lossless h.264 scripts"?

Thank you!

I guess that my root problem is that I don't understand how the settings for Recording Profile and Transcoder effect a recording's quality and file format, e.g., mpeg2 vs. h.264.

I posted this question in the General section:

viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1529

Any enlightenment would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Apparently, the ffprobe command does the trick.

Code: Select all

ffprobe -v error -select_streams v:0 -show_entries stream=codec_name -of default=noprint_wrappers=1:nokey=1 "<video_file>"
Files encoded as mpeg2 return "mpeg2video"; H.264 returns "h264"
