Keywords: ivtv bitrate added

Also note, the file it could not find does exist:

geoff@itchy:~$ file /var/lib/mythtv1009_20060218110000.mpg /var/lib/mythtv1009_20060218110000.mpg: MPEG sequence, v2, program multiplex

I lied, I get the same error from the command line

It looks like you are using the mpeg2 transcoder. What is the command line you used? You will get this message if av_open_input_file fails to operate on the file. this implies that either (a) your stream is bad or (b) that there is a bug in libavformat.

The only way I'll be able to help you with this, is if you cut a couple megs from the beginning of the file and send it to me. Make sure that after cutting it, that it still fails for you. Send it to my e-mail: mythtv0368-at-phracturedblue-dot-com

I tried several different command lines as well as selecting to transcode from the frontend. Below are the commands, and I have e-mailed a few of the requested files to the address you posted.

Commands:

mythtranscode -l -i /var/lib/mythtv/1007_20060212210100.mpg -o /var/www/tv_transcoded/grey-for-shan.mpg -v all

mythtranscode -l --mpeg2 -c 1007 -s 2006-02-12-21:01:00 -o /var/www/tv_transcoded/grey-for-shan.mpg -v all

And about every other possible combination to transcode this file. This seems to be a problem with all of my files, not just this one. This used to work, but I can't remember the last time I used it successfully.

Yes, I still need a copy of one of the streams that fails (probably baout 5MB off the front). It is the only way I can help you.

It looks like it's between svn 9015 to 9030. 9015 works. 9030 comes back with the error "Couldn't open input file, error #-2"

If you need any more info let me know, Bill

Resolution: fixed
Status: newclosed

(In [9083]) A new define was missed when ffmpeg was resynced in #9024, causing mythtranscode to fail. This adds #define CONFIG_PROTOCOLS which closes #1333 A 'configure' and make clean is needed to see this update

I also see this same issue. I noticed this fix so I updated to the latest (At revision 9132) but I still see the same problem.

mythtranscode --mpeg2 --chanid 2260 --starttime 2006-02-19-15-45-00 2006-02-23 23:07:41.407 Using runtime prefix = /usr/local 2006-02-23 23:07:41.431 New DB connection, total: 1 2006-02-23 23:07:41.442 Enabled verbose msgs: important 2006-02-23 23:07:41.447 New DB connection, total: 2 2006-02-23 23:07:41.467 Couldn't open input file, error #-2

I end up with a zero byte file with some crazy user/group:

My bad. I pulled a clean SVN and rebuilt and it works fine. Sorry. Thanks for the fix!
