Transcoding failed for <filename> with error 139

[Rick Steeves <mythtv.org@…>]

I am attempting to use the removecommercials script on the backend, and it fails part way through, without completing: mythtranscode --honorcutlist --showprogress --chanid $CHANID --starttime $STARTTIME -o $VIDEODIR/$FILENAME.tmp

Actual command: mythtranscode --honorcutlist --showprogress --chanid 2501 --starttime 20151021103000 -o /data/mythtv/2501_20151021063000.mpg.tmp

The file gets created and the process works for a while, but fails: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3335990440 Sep 13 11:04 /data/mythtv/2501_20151021063000.mpg -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 81690762 Sep 15 20:33 /data/mythtv/2501_20151021063000.mpg.tmp

From the script: ./removecommercials2 /data/mythtv 2501_20151021063000.mpg 2501 20151021103000

If you can reproduce it by running the transcode binary directly, then can you grab a full backtrace as described in

Thanks Stuart

I can reproduce by running mythtranscode directly. I've managed to get mythtv-debug installed, but I'm having problems translating the Debugging page for exactly what I would do when running mythtranscode with command-line parameters?

My best guess was this: gdb "mythtranscode --honorcutlist --showprogress --chanid 2501 --starttime 20151021103000 -o /data/mythtv/2501_20151021063000.mpg.tmp" -x ${HOME}/gdbcommands

after the creation of the gdbcommands file. I get this: gdb "mythtranscode --honorcutlist --showprogress --chanid 2501 --starttime 20151021103000 -o /data/mythtv/2501_20151021063000.mpg.tmp" -x ${HOME}/gdbcommands

In your gdb command file replace the following (this is what's shown in the debugging page)

set args --logpath /tmp -v general

with

set args --honorcutlist --showprogress --chanid 2501 --starttime 20151021103000 -o /data/mythtv/2501_20151021063000.mpg.tmp

Then run gdb as

$ gdb mythtranscode -x ${HOME}/gdbcommands

The way you were trying to run it, means gdb was looking for a program called "mythtranscode --honorcutlist --showprogress --chanid 2501 --starttime 20151021103000 -o /data/mythtv/2501_20151021063000.mpg.tmp"

rather than "mythtranscode"

The script uses the 'mythtranscode -o' option which has apparently changed in 0.28

#12845 may well be related.

Well, the note on the change of mythtranscode to delete the old file (or save it as .old from the setup option) clarifies why my file keeps getting deleted! A separate problem, but helpful information nonetheless.

While watching TV I deleted the example I was using, so I've moved on to another similar file (both The Andy Griffin Show in B&W). Still fails. Output attached.
