Adam:

Still working here on getting my library transcoded so that mythicalLibrarian and XBMC don't result in bad commskips. With the help of my local guru, I'm going to run a script that does the following to each of my recordings:

Code:

echo Processing 1022_20091230200000.mpg
mythcommflag -c 1022 -s 2009-12-30-20-00-00 --gencutlist
mythtranscode --chanid 1022 --starttime 2009-12-30-20-00-00 --mpeg2 --honorcutlist
rm /mnt/video2/store/1022_20091230200000.mpg
mv /mnt/video2/store/1022_20091230200000.mpg.tmp /mnt/video2/store/1022_20091230200000.mpg
mythcommflag --file 1022_20091230200000.mpg --rebuild
NEWFILESIZE=`du -b /mnt/video2/store/1022_20091230200000.mpg | cut -f1`
echo "UPDATE recorded SET basename='1022_20091230200000.mpg',filesize='$NEWFILESIZE',transcoded='1' WHERE chanid='1022' AND starttime='2009-12-30-20-00-00'" > update-database.sql
mysql --user=dbuserHere --password=password mythconverg < update-database.sql
rm /mnt/video2/store/1022_20091230200000.mpg*.png

After this, per your instructions, I was going to mythicalLibrarian --scan mpg all of the recordings in my storage directories. My hope is that the transcoded files will have the uniform frame rate that XBMC assumes.

Can you see any problems with this approach? (I realize this is sort of off-topic for this thread, but I thought it might be relevant if others are having problems with playing their recordings on XBMC.)

Thanks as always,

/Greg
