[Solved] User job not sending dir & file name

Post by skaman59 »

Howdy!

What am I doing wrong here? This worked on my old mythtv box. Now I've rebuilt it and I can't get it to work.

I've got a user job that's not sending the directory & filename.

In the user job command field, I've got:

Code: Select all

/home/mythtv/matts_transcode "%dir%" "%file%"
I've tried it with and without the quotes. I saw it with the quotes in the "mythbrake" wiki page.

I have my script generating logs and her's what it's getting for $1 and $2 ("%dir%" and "%file%", respectively):

Code: Select all

Original file: %dir%/%file%
Target file: %file%/\.mp4

It __would__ have to be something that obvious.

Thanks!
