Description
As a result of some bugs, and the removal of ATSC as a valid TV Format (see #4343 and #7966), transcoding with resizing to HD resolutions is broken.
There are a couple pieces to this issue.
First, the limitation of NTSC sources to SD resolutions seems to be wrong, if ATSC HD content is meant to be included in the meaning of NTSC (see recordingprofile.cpp:1128).
Just above that is an override to allow full HD resolutions when transcoding. But mythtranscode does not set the transcoding flag when loading a recording profile. This seems to be becaue the logic to identify when transcoding is active is based on the profile name starting with "Transcoders" (recordingprofile.cpp:1117). But that is normally the profile group name, not the profile name. The profile group name is not passed in.
Workaround: only use custom transcoding profiles, and name all of them "Transcoders - whatever".
That does nothing for the posibility of an analog HD source, of course.
I'm assigning this to Chris, since it will likely be fixed automatically when the HLS code is expanded for use with general purpose transcoding.
