Post subject:  R5A16 nuvexport error: "Please specify both ...",

This is with R5A16; I've so far made no attempt to update any of the software for fear of breaking something more fundamental that I have managed to get working.

My system is able to record and play back standard and HD content, subject to the known hangs re: XvMC. I'd now like to write some of the video to DVD to free up my hard disk, so I go through the menu system to use Nuv2Disc, and select a program to convert. A message I can't capture or find in any logs flashes up briefly (doesn't seem to be an error), then I see "Transcode of complete" in red letters on the screen almost immediately.

Seeing nothing about a problem in the logs, to investigate what's going on behind the scenes, I renamed 'nuvexport' and replaced it with a shell script to log its arguments, which follow, then run the real 'nuvexport' with them:

--mode=dvd -v_bitrate 2358 -a_bitrate 384 --quantisation 5 --confirm --starttime=20050529083000 --chanid=1035 --path=/myth/nuv2disc/nuv2disc-skin/tmp/05290830_long_filename_here

The stderr from the script shows:

TERM not set at /usr/local/share/nuvexport/nuv_export/shared_utils.pm line 65
Compilation failed in require at /usr/local/bin/nuvexport.real line 27.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/local/bin/nuvexport.real line 27.

When I run the real 'nuvexport' with these same arguments from a command line, I see:

Loading MythTV recording info.
100%
Please specify both a starttime and chanid.

yet both parameters are clearly present on the command line! Rearranging them in various ways doesn't help.

Any idea why an out-of-the-box R5A16 system would have this issue? A search of the forum revealed a few nuvexport issues, none of which appeared to match this one.

Thanks,

Charles Green

Hey,

I'm having the same problems. I noticed your post was almost a month ago. Did you find a solution for your problems? I've been through the logs a couple times, and I don't see a solution.

There is a typo in ui.pm at about line 56 -

my $starttimg = arg('starttime');

should be

my $starttime = arg('starttime');

I hope that helps - being perl illiterate, its taking me a while to figure this out.

Post subject:  Also seeing the "Transcode of complete" error

I've got the same error - I've fixed the $starttime typo mentioned above.

I've also created a symlink from /myth/nuv2disc/nuv2disc-skin/tmp/ to /myth/tv as the /nuv2disc-skin/tmp directory is empty...

I'm pretty new to linux and myth - any help would be great!
