[Openpvr-devel] Perl "record" script: mp1e doesn't stop??

[Alan M. <si...@ya...>]

Hello,

I am playing with mp1e using the Perl "record" script
(running it manually for now; will play with doing
scheduled recordings when I'm happy with the output),
and when I specify a --end time, it doesn't stop when
that time rolls around around; I have to kill the
process to stop it.  I have tried specifying the --end
option in both 24hr time format (yes, my system time
is correct) and in seconds.

Here is the mp1e command it is running after I put
'record --channel 45 --end <time/sec> test_file':

--- output ---
v4lctl setchannel "45"; v4lctl bright 40000; v4lctl
contrast 30000; v4lctl hue 32768; v4lctl color 37500;
mp1e -vv -n 36503 -s 640x480 -b 5000 -f 29.97 -a 0 -B
128 -p /dev/dsp -S 32 -x /dont/set/mixer>
"/pvr/Video/recorded/test_file.mpeg"
2>"/pvr/Video/recorded/test_file.output"
--- output ---

When I look at the coding, there doesn't seem to be
anything in the options for mp1e which specifies an
end time.  Is it because I'm running it manually
(i.e., if I were to do cut and paste the output from
the schedule program into my console to put a schedule
into 'at', would it start and stop properly?

One other thing: at first, everytime I tried running
the 'record' script manually with mp1e, it would
immediately exit (bringing me back to the command
line).  It *looked* like it was trying to find mp1e in
/tmp (i.e., /tmp/mp1e), so I commented the '/tmp' part
out, and seems to have worked quite nicely
(presumably, anyway; I still have to wait to see what
the test output files look like).

TIA,
