The script runs mythtranscode twice, the first time with the --fifoinfo
flag just to get a report of the recording's details, such as width
height etc. That error message above says that doing so failed. I'd
guess mythtranscode was crashing or stopping with an error. The
script should produce a log in /var/log/mytharXXXXXX. Do you have
any such files?
