Comcut break if no Commercials

[arrmo]

Hi,

It seems like if processing a shorter file, with no commercials => then things break. Or is it just me?

Thanks!

Could you be more specific of how "things break"?

[arrmo]

Sure! Sorry ... :-(. It seems that then the edl file is empty - that is expected. But then no cut file is generated. That seems OK, but a script no longer sees an output file then.

Or is it just me?

Thanks!

Still unsure what you're trying to say.

Are you specifying an output file via the command line to comcut? Something like:

comcut /path/to/inputfile /path/to/outputfile

And since inputfile doesnt contain any commercials it is not writing to outputfile?

[arrmo]

Yep, exactly. And as I recall it's erroring out (i.e. returning a fail error code) - but I could be wrong on this one (sorry, remote right now, can't check ... :().

Thanks!

[BrettSheleski]

Gotcha. This should be relatively easy to fix whenever I find time.

[arrmo]

Thanks! Definitely no biggie.
