For us newbies out here, (sorry only been running linux 5 years) just what do you mean by "forking:" and how would that command sequence be issued by hand? Howbout printing the exact sequence rather than the concept?
That is the sequence. As you would know if you actually searched the mailing list before asking the question, you are supposed to run each of those commands, in that order, in SEPARATE terminal windows (they interact with each other -- especially the "forking" ones).. meaning, start one, then open a new terminal, then start the next, etc., etc.
While transcoding to AFS, (and several other formats)
I see similar problems as toad, where when running without --debug it hangs forever, aggressively gobbling memory and swap until all swap is exhausted, at which point the system is on its knees and whimpering.
At no point does it update its frame pointer display while this is happening
and i've never been successful with this version of completing any
transcoding except to vcd.
Are you running gentoo? (if so, I question your decision as a newbie to do so -- it's hard enough for experienced users to debug with it) If you are, there is a known issue with gentoo not compiling in enough things for ffmpeg -- toad-six and d-side have both been unable to get it to work, either.
the memory-gobbling thing means that something is reading from one of the mythtranscode fifo's but not the other. Which would make sense if ffmpeg is able to encode the audio but barfs on the video (leaving mythtranscode to buffer the video into RAM until something reads from that fifo).
Pardon the list/offlist reply, I'm not sure I know where you would rather see this.
no biggie. it all gets filed into the same mailbox.
Might I suggest you add a --version argument?
I'll look into it. I don't actually "version" nuvexport, so adding date timestamps will mean I need fix my packaging script to know where to look/change within the file itself.
