Hey!  That worked!  (...well, I was able to get farther, anyway.)

It didn't.  (Said no more queue slots, but whatever.)  I changed the command 
line to:



mythtranscode --chanid 1051 --starttime 20080808184500 --profile 
autodetect --honorcutlist --showprogress -v important


And now it pukes identically to jobs fired off from the UI:

2009-01-21 04:34:14.951 Found video height of 1088.  This is unusual and 
more than likely the video is actually 1080 so mythtranscode will treat it 
as such.

2009-01-21 04:34:14.958 Please ensure that recording profiles for the 
transcoder are set


Since it seemed to be complaining about a profile, just for giggles I hit 
mythtranscode with "--profile 1" (whatever THAT profile is) but that didn't 
change the symptoms.  (Still complains about no video information found.)



Thanks so far...  Any more ideas?  I tried -v all, but all that gave me was 
more information about the database calls instead of the video problem. 
(...so I'm not bothering to echo that output here.)
