Yep.. no go with that setup. Last week I saw a similar note at another form, and played with a few different setting. I dropped the video bitrate, the audio bitrate, the audio sampling, and the fps. Got a nice small file size, but that was about it. I do have another idea, and will be looking at it this weekend. I really like the FF RW on the 1.1 update, so I want that back. It also made it snappier. To bad it broke our myth2ipod videos. I will have an answer by the end of the weekend...  I hope.

Hello! I have been using myth2ipod for a couple months now and I love it. Keeps me up with my shows when I'm out on the road.
I have recorded some shows with an apostrophy in the title. "Egypt's Golden Empire". When I run myth2ipod on the file though, myth2ipod reads the info from the DB and isn't able to start transcoding. The xml file is created just fine. Has anyone else run into this? Any ideas on how to modify the script to handle this?
Let me know if you have a good idea. Thanks!

I'm having the same issues. I tried adding:
$filename =~ s/'//g;
to the myth2ipod script and get this output, and no .mov file generated.

Other than the apostrophe glitch, the script has always worked. I am using FC4 and the latest myth2ipod script w/out using the transcode patch.
Is there a way to fix this apostrophe glitch in the myth2ipod script?
Since I can't get the script to work with apostrophes, I would like to do this manually w/out using the myth2ipod script.
Is it possible to run ffmpeg from the command line to convert the .nuv file to the ipod? I've tried various options (just to convert the .nuv, no .xml stuff) which resembled the myth2ipod script w/ negative results.

the user job command i'm using is /usr/local/bin/myth2ipod "%DIR%" "%FILE%"
In the setup program (hit alt-s on your keyboard), in the general section,
there are four options to allow running "user job 1" - 'user job 4".
Did you turn those on? It won't start queued jobs without those being
turned on.

Since this thread appears to be fairly general - as long as the post relates somehow to myth2ipod - I'm hoping this post is in the proper place.
How long does this transcoding take? I was quite surprized (negatively) when I just ran a test. I gave it a 1.3Gb file (about 35 minutes worth of video) that was in MPEG-2 format from a Hauppauge PVR150 capture.
I aborted PASS ONE after about 15 minutes!!! I estimate I was less than a quarter of the way done with pass one, given the running frame count. I was estimating about 30*35*60 frames total (30 fps, 35 minutes, 60 seconds per minute). I estimate this test would put me in the neighborhood of 2 hours to transcode a 30 minute show!
---
My computer isn't a barn-burner, but it's not a total dog either.
Athlon64 3000+ with 1Gb ram running Debian
I don't think I've ever seen this thing breathing so hard. 0% idle with a CPU temp of 60 Celcius! Normally this thing sits at 100% idle and CPU temp at 35 Celcius. Despite the high load indicated by "top" and "sensors" the computer was still responding as normal. No slowdowns at the console. But 60 Celcius is pushing the limit I want to go with this processor (AMD specs it with T-case-max of 70 Celcius).
Is this load I'm seeing anywhere near normal for ffmpeg?

You are correct that transcoding takes a ton of time. That's just the way it is. It takes me about 45 minutes to do a 30 minute show. The machine does seem to be smart enough to allow other processes to take priority, so I believe you are seeing 100% of spare CPU being used. Your best bet is to set the transcoding up as a user job to run automatically on your recordings. Since transcoding won’t slow down your computer much, you probably won’t notice it happening.

I'm just getting started with this, but so far it's really great. Being able to drop my ipod in the cradle and have it grab a bunch of shows that have been recorded and pre-transcoded is a really powerful thing.
Thank you so much for the great work!

I get myth2ipod working just right on my Knoppmyth install then decide I want to run Unbuntu!!
Any I've got the myth2ipod script working but I have a, hopefully small, problem with accessing the feed.php page.
I just get a grey page with a white box and this text in the box
'An unknown module was specified
ipodfeed'
There aren't any errors in the apache2 logs so I guess something in the script is causing it.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

I finally got the rss portions of the script to work, for those other noobs like me, I had to make the directories that myth2ipod uses, and also create links to them from the webserver directories. If there is a better way of doing this, please someone let me know as I have zero experience with linux. Wififun, I found the symlink instruction in a previous version of the scirpt, it might be nice to have that and the directories that need to be created listed in the instructions on your website.
But, I still can't get the transcoding to take place, even from command line, hopefully the following output means more to others than I've been able to put together myself... I'm pretty sure it has to do with my ffmpeg config, and have tried recompiling it a few times, maybe that is creating problems too...

Thanks to all that have contributed so far, your comments have been amazing and invaluable. I've already learned much about Linux and Mythtv that has been helpful in going a step beyond the wonderfully simple Knoppmyth installation.

All of the links I used were located within this thread, some of the info came from an early version of the script from Wififun, much came from his website... http://www.myth2ipod.com/ and a little smidgen from the knoppmyth wiki... http://knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page=VideoIpod
hope that helps as much as it helped me.
somehow the script started working from the command line tonight, dunno what I did outside of reboot last night. I thought I tried it afterward without success, but it's working now!

After a long wait, and a bit of work there is a new version of the myth2ipod script. I have been testing this one for a few days, and have not had any problems. The install directions are a little longer than before, but they are more complete and much easier to do. Installation not including compiling time should take about 5 minuets.
There is one important note though. It only works with MythTV .19. I have only tested it with the yet to be released Knoppmyth version. So, you will need to have some patience before jumping into this. A new release of Knoppmyth is on its way, but will not be released until it is ready, so don't ask.
This version of myth2ipod is compatible with the 1.1 iPod with Video firmware. It relies on nuvexport for a couple of reasons.
1. It should work with ALL myth recordings, not just PVRx50 like the previous version.
2. If you are satisfied with myth's commercial flagging for your show, then you can enable cutlist generations and usage so that commercials are removed in your ipod feed shows. Very Cool! Now, go get it and tell me what's broken. Be gentle.

UPDATE: I have added an installer script that will almost completely setup myth2ipod for you. Including gather and compiling the needed dependencies, and building the feed structure. However, this has ONLY been tested with the upcoming Knoppmyth, on a clean box. So be careful. I have not broken anything yet with it, but you are warned.

Thanks, but I really can't take credit. I was playing with Apple's new iWeb app. It is pretty much a template. Very cool little tool for the average joe to make nice looking stuff. I showed my mom, a teacher, how to use it in about an hour. Though, as a web developer, it really generates some crap for html... The nice thing is, this took just minutes to do.
