Using nuvexport to export a MythTV recording to XviD, nuvexport hung at 0 frames processed. After downgrading ffmpeg, the problem went away. Perhaps the latest version should be marked unstable?

Can you test with latest version currently in portage? (1216).
Sure. Will do this and provide update before 12/20
Nuvexport still not functional; same problem and output. Changed summary to note the new release doesn't fix this problem
I am seeing this as well, with the 4.9 versions (up to ffmpeg-0.4.9_p20051216). As there's no 4.8 in portage now, I cant test if thats working:( Ran nuvexport debug and had a broken pipe failure in ffmpeg after which it hangs as described: /usr/bin/nice -n19 ffmpeg -f rawvideo -s 704x576 -r 25.000 -i /tmp/fifodir_25713/vidout -f yuv4mpegpipe - 2> /dev/null | /usr/bin/nice -n19 yuvdenoise 2>&1 | /usr/bin/nice -n19 ffmpeg -y -f s16le -ar 48000 -ac 2 -i /tmp/fifodir_25713/audout -f yuv4mpegpipe -s 704x576 -aspect 1.77777777777778 -r 25.000 -i - -aspect 1.77777777777778 -r 25.000 -deinterlace -croptop 12 -cropbottom 12 -cropleft 14 -cropright 14 -s 624x352 -vcodec xvid -b 960 -minrate 32 -maxrate 1920 -bt 32 -bufsize 65535 -lumi_mask 0.05 -dark_mask 0.02 -scplx_mask 0.5 -mv4 -part -pass 1 -passlogfile '/tmp/xvid.25713.log' -f avi ffmpeg version CVS, build 3342336, Copyright (c) 2000-2004 Fabrice Bellard configuration: --prefix=/usr --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib --enable-shared-pp --enable-shared --disable-static --enable-mmx --disable-altivec --disable-debug --enable-mp3lame --enable-a52 --disable-a52bin --enable-audio-oss --enable-v4l --disable-dv1394 --disable-dc1394 --enable-pthreads --enable-xvid --enable-libogg --enable-vorbis --enable-theora --enable-dts --enable-network --enable-zlib --enable-ffplay --enable-faad --enable-faac --disable-faadbin --enable-gpl --enable-pp --disable-opts --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu built on Jan 12 2006 16:03:02, gcc: 3.4.4 (Gentoo 3.4.4-r1, ssp-3.4.4-1.0, pie-8.7.8) Input #0, s16le, from '/tmp/fifodir_25713/audout': Duration: N/A, bitrate: N/A Stream #0.0: Audio: pcm_s16le, 48000 Hz, stereo, 1536 kb/s pipe:: Error while opening file
This is mearly a problem with a change of syntax in some of the ffmpeg command line options. The latest nuvexport seems to work well with the ffmpeg in portage (I tested 0.2-0.20060111). media-tv: any chance of revbumping nuvexport?
Already tried it - it does not work either! What does work is: "nuvexport --transcode" - however this only gives a limited number of export formats, and not the one I currently would like (mp3 to extract the audio) BillK
Correct - the lastest nuvexport does not fix this... seems it does not interact well with ffmpeg and/or mjpegtools. Here's the EXACT versions of mjpegtools and ffmpeg which yield a completely working nuvexport: ffmpeg: 0.4.9_p20050226-r5 mjpegtools: 1.6.2-r4 And FWIW, nuvexport-0.2_pre20051020
You both realise I'm talking about the latest upstream version of nuvexport and not the latest version in portage right? (which I agree is quite broken). If so it seems you're hitting a different bug to me as the latest upstream version works perfectly here. Perhaps one (or both) of you could run nuvexport --debug and try running the resulting ffmpeg/mythtranscode commands by hand, reporting the actual error message? Bill: The error you reported in comment #4 just means you neglected to run the mythtranscode command first, it needs to be running before you start ffmpeg (i.e run it in a second terminal)
Created attachment 81189 [details] ebuild for the latest nuvexport I added an ebuild to get the latest nuvexport. The only change is the following: SRC_URI="http://forevermore.net/files/nuvexport-latest.tar.bz2" Build the digest and emerge. It solved the ffmpeg bug for me. To solve this in portage, an ebuild should be created with a version from http://forevermore.net/files/nuvexport/archive/ in the source URI. I would not know which version to take since there is more than one 0.3 version.
This doesn't seem to be a problem for me now that I am back to where I have Cable access to use MythTV... using the following: media-video/mjpegtools 1.8.0-r1 media-video/ffmpeg 0.4.9_p20051216 media-tv/nuvexport 0.3_pre20060424 Can anybody else confirm working?
Fixed by later versions.
