With current MythTV releases, NUV containers hold either MPEG4 or RTJPEG encoded video, neither of which can be played natively with mvpmc. Your options are to either transcode on the fly with VLC, or setup a transcoding job (search the list for "transcoding script"). > Browsing these forums, I saw a hint about renaming a .nuv file to .avi, > and then the MVP invokes VLC to play the file, and that worked well with > HD content, but that file lives outside of MythTv's recording database, > of course, and has to be accessed via the filesystem. > > Looking at the mvpmc source, why don't we just add .nuv to the "VLC" > table so mvpmc will invoke VLC on them?

On the UserVoice suggestion list (http://mediamvpmediacenter.uservoice.com/) there is (I think; or should be) a suggestion to integrate VLC with MythTV playback, such that VLC gets used when necessary, without having to switch to the filesystem browser. If you don't see the suggestion there, add it. Otherwise vote for it, and feel free to take steps towards implementing it, like researching what code changes are needed. > For you Myth experts, is there a meta-transcode user job that simply > renames a file and updates Myth's database accordingly? Not that I've seen, but it'd be a pretty simple script to put together. However, if you are browsing the filesystem to locate a show, you'd be better off using one of the tools (see the MythTV user contribution directory) that create a directory of symbolic links with full show names, rather than trying to find the right raw file name in the MythTV video directory. The rename script should be easy to tweak to change the extension. -Tom ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
