💖 NAME 💖

ok so mythccextractor — that's the MythTV closed caption extractor, bestie, and she's here to pull captions out of your recordings ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

no cap, this is the whole vibe:

  • version: fixes/36
  • [v36.0+fixes.20260401.1385cbfc60-0ubuntu3]
  • www.mythtv.org

so basically this is a command for generating srt files for DVB and ATSC recordings. that's it, that's the job. captions in, srt files out, slay 💅

🌸 Misc. Options 🌸

  • -d, --destdir — the destination directory. where the goods go 🎀
  • -i, --infile — the input file. the source material, the moment 🦋
  • -O, --override-setting — override a single setting defined by a key=value pair. just one lil setting, one lil key=value, boom ✨
  • --override-settings-file — define a file of key=value pairs to be loaded for setting overrides. a whole file of overrides, highkey iconic 📄
  • -h, --help, --usage — display this help printout, or give detailed information of selected option. ask and you shall receive 🫶
  • --version — display version information. who are you, what's your story 👑

💜 Logging Options 💜

  • --loglevel — set the logging level. all log messages at lower levels will be discarded. in descending order: emerg, alert, crit, err, warning, notice, info, debug, trace — defaults to err. so err is the default, just so we're clear 😌
  • --loglong — use long log format for the console, i.e. show file, line number, etc. in the console log. the receipts, fr fr 🔍
  • --logpath — writes logging messages to a file in the directory logpath with filenames in the format: applicationName.date.pid.log. this is typically used in combination with --daemon, and if used in combination with --pidfile, this can be used with log rotators, using the HUP call to inform MythTV to reload the file. very much the main character of logging setups 🌈
  • -q, --quiet — don't log to the console (-q). don't log anywhere (-q -q). not one word. silent. 💀
  • --syslog — set the syslog logging facility. set to "none" to disable, defaults to none. yes bestie, it defaults to none 🌸
  • --systemd-journal — use systemd-journal instead of syslog. out with the old, in with the new 🧚
  • -v, --verbose — specify log filtering. use -v help for level info. go on, ask her for the levels, she'll tell you 🎀
