Description
Fresh r6 preview auto install then made one modification: Installed vdpau (beta nvidia drivers and vidpau mplayer) for successful OTC ATSC DTV viewing / playback.
When execute transcode from within MythTV, job starts then immediately goes away, media not transcoded. Tried "low quality" default profile, "low quality" modified with resize, also tried transcode to ipod. In TOP I see the "mythtranscode" process appear briefly then disappear. Is this my system or is this a bug? (Happy to share logs with a little hand-holding for what to share and from where :)

Thanks -- I'm attaching. Transcode starts with:
2009-03-04 13:50:12.639 JobQueue: Transcode Starting for Paid Program: Low Quality (42.4 MB)
and ends with
2009-03-04 13:50:13.252 JobQueue: Transcode Errored: Paid Program: Low Quality (exit status 0, job status was "Running")

I have a similar issue about invalid pointers crashing with mythtranscode, also with mythcommflag.
I also have installed the vdpau mythtv & mplayer packages, not much else has been touched.

Well wuddaya know. I just checked and commercial flagging doesn't work either. Find three errors in this log -- search for "mythtranscode" "mythcommflag" (and also, as a bonus, a "preview" error -- I think that one happened on channels with poor reception -- live ATSC OTA TV aborted back to menu, not sure though).

(P.S. I have no "mythcommflag.log" files on my system, seems it never got that far.)

P.P.S. I'm also seeing this error, don't know what it is...

I do still have some live tv from several hours ago living on my disk. Maybe some liveTV isn't getting cleaned up? ... Okay, some test TV I just watched now got cleaned up right away, but some from earlier today remains on disk. I guess it's that "ERROR retrieving program info" thing. Hmm. What's going on here with all these errors?

FYI, the file I attached is not an automatically generated log, just a copy&paste of terminal output.
