[mythtv-users] nuvexport ffmpeg "floating point exception"

[Bill Gazsy]

Robert,

The actual problem is the way nuvexport gets information about your
recordings from mplayer.  I created a patch to nuvinfo.pm that makes sure
the parameters for 'ac' and 'ar' as they are passed to ffmpeg do not begin
with 0 (when these parameters are 0, ffmpeg fails with a floating point
exception).  My patch is attached (and can be found attached to ticket #149
here: https://svn.forevermore.net/nuvexport/ticket/149 ).  With this patch,
you can upgrade to the later versions of mplayer.

Thank You,

Bill
