I've installed Mythbuntu, which was pre-packaged with `libmythtv-perl` -- which supports nuvexport, but apparently doesn't include all of nuvexport. `sudo aptitude search ~dnuvexport` only finds `libmythtv- perl`.
I wouldn't call nuvexport absolutely "essential", but it's probably the most useful of all the addons. Without it, users have to dig up the cryptic filename for a show (1234_20200805...ts), run `ffmpeg -i 1234_20200805100000.ts -vcodec h264 -acodec aac newfile.mp4`, and after all that manual effort they have get something with no metadata, and it's not shared on the network. To preserve the metadata, they have to keep around the large *.ts files, so in the end a lot of drive space is wasted. If a device can't handle the MythTV mpeg2 files over DLNA (e.g. my Vizio can't handle most of them), users have to install `rygel` to share the manual transcodings on the network. Overall it's a labor intensive and low quality UX. The separate install of nuvexport is a disaster. The MythTV wiki has a few different links to that project and they're all bad. * svn.forevermore.net/nuvexport (dead/unreachable, at least to Tor users) * http://www.mythbuntu.org/wiki/MythExport (404) * http://www.gentoo-wiki.com/TIP_MythTV_to_iPod (nuvexport derivitive project CloudFlared) Possible workaround: https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Mythbrake or https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Handbrake_userjob Looks like they use some metadata, but the output probably doesn't replace the input file in the catalog. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/495953 Title: needs update To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nuvexport/+bug/495953/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
