[nicesplice]+[nicesplice-magic-folders] On box video editing

[MymsMan]

So, if it can't do so, there is probably some ffmpeg invocation that should be applied when cropping with more than 2 bookmarks. This makes a .ts with no jump that is playable except by the Humax:

ffmpeg -hide_banner -copy_unknown -fflags +genpts -i discontinuous.ts -map 0:u -c copy -mpegts_m2ts_mode 1 -mpegts_flags +system_b continuous.ts

And ffmpeg doesn't like the AD stream either (hence o:u: select "usable" streams).

I think this is just a special case of the unsolved problem "make a .mp4 into a Humax-playable .ts with sidecars". See also Post #37:


So possibly also to match the .hmt and/or .nts.

I have wondered how difficult it would be to either:

• Replace nicesplice entirely with some sort of ffmpeg calls but:

1. Probably couldn't handle time shift buffer capture
2. Not sure how to dynamically add crop points for detectads chaserun processing

• Update/rewrite nicesplice to generate proper timestamps in the output files

But I am a chronic procrastinator and haven't got around to investigating either option seriously
