Myth-Rec-to-Vid py

[dcrobertson01]

Hi - I have set up a user job to run the Myth-Rec-to-Vid<dot>py script to move recordings into the video folders. It appears to run correctly, but I don't get any recordings moved - not that I can see. I'm running Mythtv 0.28 with updates on a backend, and have front ends on different machines.

Sorry about the weird format - trying to post this I get an error

Code: Select all

You can’t post image, email or url links. Please remove Myth-Rec-to-Vid<dot>py

so <dot> should just be a dot.
The user job is set up as so:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/bin/Myth-Rec-to-Vid<dot>py %JOBID%

The mythbackend.log shows the job running:

However, if the video has been moved somewhere, I can't find it.


I've tried running the job manually with the id 2341, but get

Code: Select all

You cannot perform meta updates/replace while deuping
Suggest you dedup first and then update/replace meta

If I run the script with deuping(?) I get a load of errors about TV shows I've copied off DVD's - eg:

Code: Select all

Unable to determine desired operation for:
Monty Python's Flying Circus
The duplicate entries have different file names
Monty Python's Flying Circus/Monty Python's Flying Circus s2 e23.m4v
Monty Python's Flying Circus/Monty Python's Flying Circus s1 e1.mkv

which are not the same file names at all.

I currently have the script running with the --update flag .... but it is a slow process and I might have to kill it.

Anyway - has anyone got any hints as to what I should be doing. Do I need to modify the

Code: Select all

# Global Constants

# Modify these setting to your prefered defaults
TVFMT = 'Television/%TITLE%/Season %SEASON%/'+\
                    '%TITLE% - S%SEASON%E%EPISODEPAD% - %SUBTITLE%'

MVFMT = 'Movies/%TITLE%'

- I have the recordings in /var/lib/mythtv/recordings/ and the videos in /var/lib/mythtv/videos/ - which are, I think, the defaults?

Anyway - would like to be able to get transcoding (another story for another day) and moving videos to video running, so any help appreciated.

Cheers
Don
