[mythtv] FW: myth2ipod script problems....

[Jon Larson]

Thanks Bryan,

I think you hit it on the head--mythtv is using ffmpeg from /usr/local/bin
and but the mythtv user finds ffmpeg at /usr/bin.

I'm sure I caused this problem when I recompiled ffmpeg to support the
myth2ipod script, but what's the best way to fix the problem?

    Do you have a .nuvexportrc in your home directory for either you or the
mythtv user?  nuvexport searches for its config file thusly:
1. Whatever you pass on the command line 2. nuvexportrc 3.
$HOME/.nuvexportrc 4. /etc/nuvexportrc

This means it could be getting flopped to transcode mode if you have a
nuvexportrc in any of those locations which specifies a
export_prog=transcode. 

However, I do not believe this to be the case.  If the output says "ffmpeg
had critical errors" then that is coming from the ffmpeg export, not
nuvexport.  If xvid isn't on the list for a given export mode, I believe you
get an error like "unknown export mode 'xvid'".

Is your path different than what you get when the userjob is run?  You can
just write a quick script to dump your path and `which ffmpeg` to see if
another ffmpeg is conflicting with the one you get when you're interactive.
