[mythtv-users] "Miro Bridge" a new MythTV script enhancement

[Doug Vaughan]

Nasa,

The test for the presence of the Imagemagick "convert" utility is fairly 
simple. The return codes may be different on you distro then mine. I 
made a very simple script that will display the out put and print a 
return code when the script tries
to execute a nonsense executable;e and then convert. 
Clip out the script excluding the dashes and paste into a file named
"test_convert_return_code.py" then make that file executable.

Next execute the "test_convert_return_code.py" from the command line and
copy the output and email the reply in the mailing list. I will look at 
the scripts output to determine what is wrong.

Thanks
