Tvheadend

I am currently setting up my synology NAS and connected DVB adapters for our recording needs. One issue I have had to overcome is my Samsung TV will not play the native .ts files produced by tvheadend. For the solution I have created a script that converts from .ts to .mpg using ffmpeg. The script is below, it probably can be optimised, I searched online for snippets of code to achieve the various functions. In tvheadend I have my post process script set to "recode", the name I have gave the script. To tidy up the synology file index I also have a scheduled task that runs every day as "synoindex -R share:Freeview.

Hope others with this requirement find it useful.
