[01:24:43] cybrNaut: what metadata can be copied from the DB to the media file?
[01:25:58] cybrNaut: i don't want to lose the title, description, etc when I transcode from TS to mp4 and then delete the MythTV records
[01:26:36] cybrNaut: i do something like "exiftool video.mp4" and I don't see a description.
[01:41:45] cybrNaut: iTunes does a great job of organizing media. It ensures that the metadata of each track mirrors what's in the database, and also creates a sensible directory tree and filename based on that data.
[01:43:08] cybrNaut: if the iTunes db disappears, the data is still managable.
[01:43:17] cybrNaut: I'd like to get MythTV to that point.
[01:45:04] jm|laptop: cybrNaut: do you mean using mythtranscode?

[12:02:10] cybrNaut: jm|laptop: no, mythtranscode isn't real useful since it cannot produce mp4 files. I've written a script to create mp4 files from TS files, but I would like the metadata in the DB to be embedded in the file.

[15:55:25] jm|laptop: cybrNaut: given the caveat "don't interface with the database directly ever" – SELECT title,subtitle,description FROM recorded WHERE basename=$filename
[15:55:41] jm|laptop: cybrNaut: and I guess anything else you want to prise out of the https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Recorded_table
[16:42:11] markk_ (markk_!~mark@host86-183-79-156.range86-183.btcentralplus.com) has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
[17:25:08] cybrNaut: jm|laptop: i think the script cannot avoid DB access, because there is likely no mythweb API facility for changing basename from X.ts to X.mp4. In principle I could probably get title,subtitle, & description via the API, but if that entails parsing then the parsing is actually worse than reading direct from the DB.
[17:27:18] cybrNaut: anyway, I suspect I've solved the problem by using DB /select/ statements and using "ffmpeg -i "$tsfile" -i "$metadatafile" -map_metadata 1..."
[17:27:26] cybrNaut: (still testing this)

[19:16:28] cybrNaut: it's not working out too well. i'm using this command to inject metadata (title, synopsis, & description) into an mp4 file => "ffmpeg -i INPUT -i FFMETADATAFILE -map_metadata 1 -codec copy OUTPUT" But when I follow that with "ffmpeg -i OUTPUT -f ffmetadata check_md.txt", the check_md.txt file is missing the metadata that I added
[19:16:34] cybrNaut: i also see that the "title:" field is appearing as "service name:" when running mediainfo
