Mailing List Archive: Cropping recordings

My wife uses the apple TV mythtv app
[I’m frustrated and being unneccessarilly harsh]
In general the macos developers (and specifically NOT John Hoyt) believe that as God’s gift to humanity they should be showered in munnie.
The mythtv app does not show videos, or honour cutlists in recordings. (nafi)

So idea is
Cut a recording and create a video
Erase cut list
Transfer the video back as 10096_20231110173200.ts (whatever)

so she can watch the recording free of ad pounding. I can’t see any db corruption. Perhaps rebuild the seek table (is that only on file ?, in which case rebuild is not needed) Any opinions please

James

Yes, since I believe that you already have a cutting script, and it
sounds as if it creates a new video-format file.

Delete the recording's cutlist.

Perhaps rename the original file for safety, replace it with the
videofile, and use mythcommflag --rebuild, which also resets the file size.

I suppose you might also want to remux the result to remove unwanted
streams, but probably not.
