I've been using your script with mythbuntu (9.10) for a bit and everything worked flawlessly (as it did with ubuntu 10.04).

I've recently moved to arch and couldn't get the script to work. I'm getting the following error(s):
Code:

I noticed that ubuntu and arch currently have the same version of aften (0.0.8), however mkvtoolnix is different (ubuntu 3.0.0, arch 4.1.1).

Any idea what's causing the problem and how this can be rectified ? Thanks.
