I have attempted with all available menu layouts and with mythtranscode and projectx.

MythArchive? now requires the M2VRequantiser program.

sh: M2VRequantiser: not found

You don't have it. Please install M2VRequantiser, and reopen if you still get failures.

This is a misleading error message. The problem is, that in mythburn.py -> runM2VRequantiser the run of M2VRequantiser fails by some reason. Therefore there is no new file. So the script finds the size of the new file was zero giving the divide by zero-error.

Solution:

if result<>0:

fatalError("Failed while running M2VRequantiser. Command was %s" % command)

sholud be moved directly after

result = runCommand(command)

Then the correct error message is displayed (usually M2VRequantiser can't be found)

The suggested fix looks to me as if it will do the job, but I've just looked at the script again and see that this test is made earlier:

if path_M2VRequantiser[0] == "":

fatalError("M2VRequantiser is not available to resize the files. Giving up!")

I must assume that this didn't trigger the expected exit because a non-null path was defined, probably as part of the initial package, but the target wasn't installed. I don't know immediately what a better test would be.

That's exactly the case:

if path_M2VRequantiser[0] == "": 

   fatalError("M2VRequantiser is not available to resize the files. Giving up!")

only tests if there is a path configured. It doesn't care if it's right or not. But apart from that there are a lot of other reasons for the requantization-process to fail. These aren't caught by this test, either.

So as mentioned before my suggestion is to move the following part:

if result<>0: 

 fatalError("Failed while running M2VRequantiser. Command was %s" % command)

At its current position it's completely useless because if the requantisation fails for any reason the script crashes before reaching the statement.

Then the following part is obsolete and can be removed:

if path_M2VRequantiser[0] == "": 

   fatalError("M2VRequantiser is not available to resize the files. Giving up!")
