Is this a bug or intentional?
This is intentional, as all recordings are remuxed now.
Fantastic, thanks.
Happy to start a new thread if needed, but I have an issue related to this setting. I have a HDHomerun CONNECT and I have tried both options but always end up with .TS files instead of MKV. I’m working on a post script that utilizes HandBrakeCLI to help with file sizes, but the only issue is that HandBrake outputs to MKV or MP4, but the input file is .TS which I assume Plex is not going to like me changing the file extension.
Surely something is wrong if it’s supposed to be remuxed into MKV containers, but I have .TS. Help?
@utahbmxer It’s not longer remuxed into MKV files, .ts is the container it’s now supposed to be in. Are they causing you some kind of issue?
Is it possible to have the post script return a different file type (transcoded) to Plex?
Long story…
I’m not super experienced with Bash scripting, but the issue I am having is that in the DVR settings I have it setup to use a bash script which does a few things (mostly ComSkip commercial removal and then HandBrake transcode). After it’s done, I am left with the original .ts file as well as the .mkv file from handbrake. I want Plex to use the new .mkv file and let my script delete or temporarily backup the ts file. I haven’t tried it since adding in HandBrake, but I would assume that Plex is looking for the original file name/ext. Maybe there is a way for the script to return the new file name to Plex?
Test it out. Delete the original file in your script. From what I understand Plex moves whatever file is left in the grab folder after post processing is complete. You could also move the file to an archive folder just in case it doesn’t work correctly.
@johnm_ColaSC That makes sense, I kind of wondered about that. I’ll report back the outcome. 
Well, it works just fine when you leave the mkv file in there. Essentially my script is doing the following:
Copy original to archive folder, in-case Comskip or something goes south
Create variable of filename without the .extension
PlexComSkip
HandBrakeCLI -o filename.mkv (still need to check dimensions beforehand and tweak some encode parameters)
Delete original .ts file
Plex then moves the MKV file and adds to library.
Thanks for the help!
