[15:09:12] user798645 (user798645!~User@user-10mt7in.cable.mindspring.com) has joined #mythtv-users
[15:09:34] buz_: Hello
[15:11:08] mack-: buz_: no much chatting goes on around here :)
[15:13:09] buz_: I see that.... it has been like 30 years since I did irc... Im a little rusty.

[15:16:59] mack-: most freenode channels aren't real-time. People lurking, checking in to see if any questions they can answer have popped in. Or lurk to maybe glean some knowledge. Some -dev channels are more active. Some lurkers, however, I think are disconnected bouncers that people have forgotten about :)
[15:24:16] buz_: Could you help me with a mythtranscode error?
[15:25:25] mack-: The best thing is to just ask a question, providing as much detail as possible, and then wait a while to see if someone can help.
[15:27:33] tgm4883 (tgm4883!uid23806@ubuntu/member/tgm4883) has joined #mythtv-users
[15:28:02] mack-: I personally only use mythtranscode to do lossless commercial cuts, but I'll give your question a shot
[15:28:19] buz_: OK, the error is: 2018-12–05 17:12:18.294959 E expectedPTS != expectedDTS + ptsIncrement
[15:29:10] buz_: cuts is what I am trying to do: mythtranscode --mpeg2 --chanid 1062 --starttime 2018-11–04T19:00:00 --outfile "/var/lib/mytharchive/temp/work/1/newfile.mpg"
[15:29:32] mack-: buz_: which version of mythtv?
[15:29:50] buz_: The only thing I can "google" is a really old bug that has been fixed.
[15:30:00] buz_: I think I am running 29/fixes
[15:30:19] buz_: its ubuntu repository
[15:30:45] mack-: have you tried more than one file?
[15:31:27] buz_: yes... it is this file that it is acting up on... I have seen it on a couple of recs, but not a lot.
[15:32:27] buz_: (my limited video editing knowlege) I think it is a missing audio portion.... but how to fix?
[15:35:28] mack-: probably not related to your problem, but you said you were doing cuts.. were you intending to use the --honorcutlist flag on your mythtranscode call?
[15:35:57] buz_: I've tried the following. fix the rec with mythtranscode copy, fix it with ffmpeg copy, fix with handbrakecli (sux for mpeg2)....
[15:36:46] buz_: sorry pasted an attempted fix.... but I get the same error with --honorcutlist
[15:38:23] mack-: lol, I was just typing suggestions to try to fix any errors in the source
[15:39:12] buz_: hey... Im just happy to talk to someone about it. It has me frustrated.
[15:39:43] mack-: by mythtranscode copy, do you mean --buildindex?
[15:40:35] buz_: yeah, I think I have done that one.
[15:41:22] buz_: mythcommflag --rebuild --chanid 1062 --starttime 20181104190000 mytutil --clearcutlist --chanid 1062 --starttime 20181104190000 mythutil --clearcutlist --chanid 1062 --starttime 20181104190000 mythutil --clearskiplist --chanid 1062 --starttime 20181104190000 manually added cuts then ran Errors: 2018-11–27 19:59:29.854682 E expectedPTS != expectedDTS + ptsIncrement 2018-11–27 19:59:29.854689 E 00:18:43.847 != 00:18:43.847 + 00:
[15:41:31] mack-: was the source recording marked as damaged by mythtv? (yellow text in most mythtv frontend themes, or red "NO" icon in mythweb)
[15:42:25] buz_: hmmm.... now that is something new i did not know about. I think it is yellow. Wondered what that meant.
[15:42:51] buz_: I can view the video fine. and edit the cutlist.
[15:44:48] mack-: sometimes the "damage" is very slight. v29 seems more sensitive than v0.27 (I skipped 0.28). I had very few damaged recordings before v29, and then quite a few on my aging hdhomerun.
[15:45:30] mack-: my "fix seek table" user job is: /usr/bin/mythtranscode --mpeg2 --buildindex --allkeys --chanid %CHANID% --starttime %STARTTIMEUTC%
[15:45:53] mack-: that has fixed a couple of recordings marked as damaged
[15:45:57] buz_: Thx mack.... you taught me something. So, it is yellow with a yellow dot to the left.
[15:46:36] mack-: (ota atsc here, also).. I found your forum post :)
[15:46:55] buz_: lol... you see no answers.
[15:48:12] mack-: I think the answer is figuring out why you're getting damaged files.
[15:48:16] buz_: ok... so... you would suggest trying the --rebuild, then if that does not work.... give up, delete it and hope that it re-records that episode sometime.
[15:48:58] buz_: I'm 50 miles from two major cities where the OTA is just barely in range.
[15:49:34] mack-: can try either/both commflag --rebuild or/and transcode --buildindex --allkeys
[15:49:43] buz_: I have pounded on this a lot. But learned a lot in the process... I am not good at letting go of a problem.
[15:50:18] mack-: that might be a little tough, depending on geography. Taller, bigger antenna :)
[15:50:44] mack-: 50 miles usually isn't horrible in flat terrain
[15:51:03] buz_: It looks good on screen. Plays good.
[15:51:18] buz_: just a little gargle every now and then.
[15:51:24] mack-: what tuner are you using?
[15:51:40] mack-: those little gargles can be the breaker
[15:52:53] buz_: wintv-dualhd usb haugpaugh.
[15:54:36] mack-: other things to check are your system resources. Try not to have other USB things going and make sure your system isn't busy while recording.
[15:55:46] mack-: if you are doing this on some laptops or something like a raspberry pi, other things like networking can be USB devices in disguise.
[15:56:41] buz_: hm.... I don't think my rig is taxed that much.
[15:56:51] mack-: but yeah, I have had some damaged recordings and had to give up and select Delete and Allow Re-Record and wait for repeats
[16:01:08] buz_: so you created a user job for "Fix Seek Table" – nice; I might do that.
[16:02:44] buz_: do you have to do that from mythtv-setup (backend)?
[16:08:15] mack-: you can do it there, or in the settings section of mythweb (and then restart mythbackend)
[16:08:46] mack-: make s ure backend is not running when you run mythtv-setup if you go that route.
[16:09:25] mack-: mythtv-setup is less error-proned for the first timer
[16:10:33] ink0gnito (ink0gnito!~ink0gnito@nl1.ovpn.to) has quit (Remote host closed the connection)
[16:11:59] mack-: one thing that got me in the past was overlooking the tiny checkboxes to Allow the user job
[16:12:00] mack-: http://www.hackourlife.com/wp-content/uploads . . . Specific.jpg
[16:13:05] mack-: it's not on the same settings page as setting up user jobs. (It's also a separate setting if you go the mythweb route)
