Dear Sir(s),
I would like to bring your attention to a problem in the scripts
in the tovid package.
tovid uses mplayer to identify characteristics of a video.
mplayer uses $home/.mplayer/config as its config file.
IF $home/.mplayer/config has an entry 'loop = 0' then
tovid/makexml/idvid scripts will hang forever.
I suggest that in the idvid script, to include '-loop 1' in the
command that uses mplayer to identify a video might
just fix this problem.
Current line in idvid:
mplayer -vo null -ao null -frames 1 -channels 6 -identify \
"$INFILE" > "$SCRATCH_FILE" 2>&1
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Suggested replacement:
mplayer -vo null -ao null -frames 1 -loop 1 -channels 6 -identify \
"$INFILE" > "$SCRATCH_FILE" 2>&1
The change might have to be in made several lines of idvid.
Thank you for listening.
