Error converting recordings to XVID

[gabeweisz]

I'm using GBPVR 1.1.5, and getting an error converting recordings to XVID.

I have the following line in my config.xml
<Conversion name="XviD" cmd="-y -i {SOURCE_FILE} -f avi -ab 128 -ac 2 -vcodec xvid -b 1800k {DEST_FILE}" targetExtension=".avi" />


I've got the logging level set to "debug", and this is the error in GBPVRRecordingService.log
2008-03-07 18:43:47.418 VERBOSE [10] About to start transcode of: Ace of Cakes
2008-03-07 18:43:47.418 ERROR [10] Unexpected error in ConversionProcessing.WorkerThread(): System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Length cannot be less than zero.
Parameter name: length

at GBPVR.RecordingService.x92f6085038c83bb7.xcba1f05fb5a46d5f()

Any suggestions?

EDIT: Another odd thing - the show that it is going to transcode has been deleted - I don't currently have any episodes of the Ace of Cakes on the system. Does that help?

I connected to the database directly with sqlite, and then decided to remove the recording that was no longer on disk and that had the problem with the command
update TRANSCODE_QUEUE set status=1 where scheduled_recording_oid=3710;
seems to at least have allowed it to skip that one and go onto the next video to be transcoded.

That would have been what I would have suggested. We've needed to do this a couple of times in the past. Not exactly sure how this situation occurs though.
