Has anyone doing post processing implemented a duration check in their script?
I have spotty reception – great at night, but during the heat of the day it sometimes breaks up. Since most of my DVR activity is in the evening it’s usually not a problem. However, I do occasionally get recordings truncated early due to poor signal.
Since I transcode my recordings to save space, I don’t want to use CPU time to process truncated episodes since they typically are so noisy they’re not worth saving. I’m wondering if anyone has built a check in their postprocessing script to compare the recording length with the length in the EPG?
I’m guessing I could find a tool to tell me the length of the file (ffprobe or mediainfo) but I’ve no idea how to find the length from the EPG.
