Mytharchive calling ffmpeg with wrong resolution

Why is this "obviously" wrong? According to Wikipedia, it's a valid DVD resolution.

Please provide more details, including the exact messages produced by ffmpeg.. You can find log files in the temporary directory you set in the mytharchive settings.

It is wrong because ffmpeg want a width x height resolution. 576x352 would be ok.

Hello,

thanks for clarifying the issue.

I'll report it upstream.

I've just noticed that there's already a bug report filed in the MythTV bug tracker:

http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/3961

That was me this morning. I forgot to write it here :)

Looking at the upstream bug, it seems that this is not something we can resolve. I'll close this as "invalid" now. If you have any objections or a possible fix, please re-open.

I have to admit I really don't want to wrap my head around this issue right now, especially if it's only caused by people not capturing with a x576 resolution.

Invalid is good. It turned out that the error wasn't caused by a wrong resolution but by a wrong audio-bitrate. This bug is resolved upstream. http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/3314
I'll try to do some better research next time...

Jovaro,

This hasn't yet been applied to -fixes has it? We can get that patch in
gutsy at least (provided it applies cleanly) if you'd like. I guess there
is a chance it might not since it's against ffmpeg isn't it?

Regards,

Mario

I looked a wee bit closer, and these are all applied to the current -fixes checkout we've got. Things should be better.
