[Bug 596539] Re: mythexport does not honor an existing cutlist

 

What a pity. In my opinion a "config" should be a what it is, and no
"script".

On the one hand it is a good thing that the mythexport-config can handle
anything you want (cause of the fact that it is a perl module). But on
the outher hand I would say end users should only have to decide which
features to use or not, and how. For the normal end user it will be to
difficult and error-prone to edit such a config.

I recommend to move the perl-module into the feature-part of the code
and provide "clean" config-file.

Another Idea would be to merge mythtranscode and mythexport and provide
an easy configuration over the ui of mythtv.

Please think about it, or give this Information to the developers.

thx

Title:
  mythexport does not honor an existing cutlist

Status in “mythexport” package in Ubuntu:
  Opinion

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: mythexport

  When setting "removeCommercials=1" in
  "/etc/mythtv/mythexport/mythexport_settings.cfg" I expected that
  mythexport honors the existing cutlist I made manually, like
  mythtranscode does with option "--honorcutlist".

  Instead it removes the existing cutlist and generates a new one by
  using a commercial flagging job, before transcoding.

  In the fact that the commercial flagging is not precise enough for
  automatic cutting, there is no use for the "removeCommercial"-function
  for now.

  Please add the possibility to activate "honorcutlist", which disables
  the replacement of an existing cutlist before transcode.

  thx
