| [15:12:51] | Sabotender: | mack: I put Directory symlinks in all standard locations in The environment table so it can no longer put files where they are not allowed. I still have a few items on my to-do list, including writing a scrubber script that will delete any 0byte file that doesn't have a lock on it. My mutable script is still gonna be written into the API so I can do a graphical something, because, as of now, I cannot bind what is built into Mythtv that |
| [15:12:51] | Sabotender: | marks it to not be deleted to a remote toggle, with a UI switch denoting its file status. |
| [15:16:15] | Sabotender: | Regarding Handbrake... I wonder if I can transcode a few recordings, two test and find a Settings that I believe is acceptable. I do want to save space on the hard drive. Of course, lossless is not possible. Perhaps that H64 or somesuch video encoding is high on the scale of high quality, and small file size. 😛 |
| [15:22:06] | mack: | that is the way, Sabo, do tests on the same (short) file and find what's acceptable. |
| [15:23:41] | Sabotender: | ah ha! |
| [15:23:56] | Sabotender: | do you have any encoding recommendation that I could try first? |
| [15:25:00] | mack: | handbrake has some built-ins that work well. |
| [15:27:07] | mack: | This is my handbrake incantation for pulling recordings out of mythtv and into a Video directory. The compression bits may work for you: |
| [15:27:32] | mack: | HandBrakeCLI -i "$OUTDIR/$TVFILENAME.mpg" -o "$OUTDIR/$TVTITLE-$1_$2.mkv" --decomb --loose-anamorphic --modulus 2 -e x264 -q 18 --vfr -a 1,1 -E av_aac,copy -6 dp12,none -R Auto,Auto -B 192,0 --audio-fallback ac3 --subtitle 1 --encoder-level="4.1" --encoder-profile=high |
| [15:28:17] | mack: | the important part to start with there is --encoder-profile=high (the High Quality handbrake builtin) |

| [21:06:30] | Sabotender: | ooh, very nice! I really appreciate this. Once I can get this generally configured, I hope I can set handbrake to use the encoding profile to wait until there's no high CPU load to before auto encoding previously recorded episodes and moving them into the Videos directory. |

| [23:18:02] | mack: | I have renice and ionice in that script that calls handbrake. I dunno if both are necessary, but I did it :) |
