For years I have been using ProjectX (without GUI) to cut mpeg2 recordings from MythTV. In el7 I have used the included build.sh to build ProjectX.jar locally from a tarball dated October 2014, which seems to be no longer easily accessible. In Fedora I have the rpm from rpmfusion, which has just been updated to ProjectX-0.91.0-17.fc31 It isn't clear to me whether this version has any new useful functionality, whether I should just continue with my local build for el7, or request an el7 rpm? Here's a part of the log from f31: running: ionice -c3 projectx -name tempcut2643 -id 0x1e0,0x1c0 -out /home/john/MythTmp -cut projx2643 21100_20200917232800.mpg.old Version: ProjectX 0.91.0.00/31.03.2011 Java Environment 20 September 2020 11:10:53 BST java.version 1.8.0_265 java.vendor Red Hat, Inc java.home /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.265.b01-1.fc31.x86_64/jre java.vm.version 25.265-b01 java.vm.vendor Red Hat, Inc java.vm.name OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM java.class.vers 52.0 java.class.path /usr/lib/java/ProjectX.jar:/usr/share/java/commons-net.jar:/usr/share/java/jakarta-oro.jar os.name Linux os.arch amd64 os.version 5.8.9-101.fc31.x86_64 ini.file /mnt/sdb1/rec22/X.ini ext.disk.access disabled or library not found user.language en user.name john user.home /home/john ... and this is from SL7.8 with the local build: running: ionice -c3 java -jar /home/john/projectx_link -name tempcut31496 -id 0x6a5,0x6a6 -out /home/john/MythTmp -cut projx31496 10003_20200919224300.ts.old Version: ProjectX 0.91.0.10/07.02.2014 Java Environment 20 September 2020 09:08:55 BST java.version 1.8.0_262 java.vendor Oracle Corporation java.home /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.262.b10-0.el7_8.x86_64/jre java.vm.version 25.262-b10 java.vm.vendor Oracle Corporation java.vm.name OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM java.class.vers 52.0 java.class.path /home/john/projectx_link os.name Linux os.arch amd64 os.version 4.4.236-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64 ini.file /mnt/dat1/RSG2/X.ini ext.disk.access disabled or library not found user.language en user.name john user.home /home/john John P
