I have attached a script which can be run as a cron job as "root" or as the "mythtv" user. The script will kill all mythtranscode processes with CPU usage less than 1%. Active transcoding processes tend to have high CPU usage, so this should avoid killing active jobs before they are done transcoding.
This is still just a hack to regain normal functionality. This bug needs to be fixed by a maintainer who can convince mythtranscode to exit properly when finished! ** Attachment added: "Script to kill phantom mythtranscode jobs" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/36697969/killphantoms.sh -- mythtranscode doesn't exit on completion https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/481104 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
