You may be able to limit the whole process to only two file writes with a little scripting and XML parsing. Use --raw with GiP to save the .ts file directly to drive or to drive via ram disk. The ram disk probably wouldn't be of much use since I doubt your downloads are limited by disk write speed. Also use --metadata to save programme metadata in an XML file and --thumbnail to save the cover art in a JPG file. Write a script to re-encode the file to 25fps MP4 and at the same time add metadata tags with ffmpeg, using the XML file and JPG file as input to construction of the ffmpeg command string. You'll need ffmpeg 4.0 or higher to add cover art to MP4.
I have tried to follow this thread as I have just found my download of The Bridge file size and resolution are less than before. Upgraded to 3.14.0 and forced a new download and file size is more than twice the first. I really would like to get back to 1 hour > approx 1GB and the advice from iz looks right to me.
Can anybody help me with scripts to achieve what I seek please? Preferred operation would be to implement the download as cron job as now and then with a bunch of downloaded raw files in a directory run a script to give me my .mp4 files for loading onto NAS.
