Hi - my first post here - let me first say I love this project it’s genius for filling my library with missed recordings 
I’m running MythTV 0.27 - I have a script that flags and cuts all commercials and transcodes the resulting MPEG-2 file into a much smaller 720p .mkv or mp4 - I then have MythicalLibrarian rename all my files and move them to my dronefactory folder for processing - this is where everything breaks down for me - with every file processed this way I get the an error as such:
Non-sample file detected: [/zfspool/data/Downloads/The Flash (2014)/Season 1/The Flash 2014 S01E20 The Trap.mp4]
Just wondering if anyone else processes files from MythTV and if I’m missing a step?
Thanks!
Thats being logged after the import fails, check debug logs to see why its failing to import as it could be a number of things.
Thanks Markus,
looks like it’s not recognizing my transcoded file as a 720p HDTV file - it categorizes it as SDTV therefore it never meets my series cut-off of 720p… Would it be my transcode script missing something when it transcodes to .mp4 in this case?
The fact that it doesn’t meet the cutoff is irrelevant except for the fact that it wouldn’t upgrade it if SDTV was already available.
Sonarr relies on the file name to contain the quality, so if it contained HDTV and 720p in the title it would be picked up as HDTV-720p, otherwise it falls back to the extension, which in the case of mp4 is treated as SDTV and mkv is HDTV-720p.
Ah - that in itself is helpful thanks Markus! I’ll add 720P in the renaming and see if that fixes it!
The logic I’m going for here is record from MythTV and if recording doesn’t work for some reason download the file.
Sonarr would DL the file everytime because I told it to have a 720p cutoff - and then my recorded mp4 would be deleted. Now I know why - thanks!
