406	mythtranscode --mpeg2: sample rate not set - Error writing output header	laga@…	anonymous	"Hello all!

I'm trying to use the new mpeg2 transcoding which was introduced to MythTV in ticket #158. However, I'm experiencing a problem with mythtranscode just quitting without actually doing anything. Here comes the log:

I should add a few words on my setup, I think. I'm running Debian Sarge and MythTV is built from yesterday's SVN. I recorded this show off my DBox (thanks to levon), so I think it's DVB style. Mythtranscode --mpeg2 seems to work ok so far on other recordings, but this one also shows an odd behaviour in mythfrontend: I can select two audio tracks, one being the regular German audio track (""unknown mp2 2ch""), the other one is called ""unknown mp3 2ch"". When I switch to the second track, I don't get any sound. In conclusion, I think that this is not usual for a recording, but it still would be nice to transcode the beast :)

I will be glad to provide additional information as needed and I hope we can get this fixed somehow if it turns out to be a bug within MythTV."	defect	closed	minor	unknown	mythtv	head	medium	fixed			1
