More commands in the post processing line without script

LiveTVUser

I want to change a mkv-file to mp4 and delete the mkv afterwards, not with a skript, just from the command line inside Tvheadend.
It works with:
/usr/bin/ffmpeg -i "%f" -nostdin -c copy -f mp4 "%f.mp4"
and on the bash it works with:
/usr/bin/ffmpeg -i "%f" -nostdin -c copy -f mp4 "%f.mp4" && rm "%f"

But not in the fild "Postprocessing command" of the Tvheadend-Configuration-Page -> Recording Profiles - why not?
And how do I change the command to get it converting and deleting the file?

From the online help:

The command is executed as-is, without a shell. To redirect command output or chain commands, wrap the command in a shell, e.g.

sh -c "df -P -h /recordings >/config/.markers/recording-post-process"
sh -c "df -P -h /recordings | tee /config/.markers/recording-post-process"

Thank you, now I found it for myself (The "?"-button on the side didn't show the information, but you're right, the button upside "? Help" has this information - I searched the web, sometimes the shortest way might be the best.)
Now it works.

For others, who might search for this question, here my solution so far:
/bin/sh -c "/usr/bin/ffmpeg -i \"%f\" -nostdin -c copy -f mp4 \"%f.mp4\" \&\& rm \"%f\""

This makes from a mkv-container (or any other container) a mp4-container, filename extended with mp4 - means file "movie.mkv" will now be "movie.mkv.mp4".
Its quick and dirty, but it is a real mp4-container produced by ffmpeg (mp4-container are not possible to make it from a live-stream because they need the metadata about the stream - how long etc. in the beginning of the stream, not at the end. So you need a postprocessing command to change a mkv in a mp4.

And here is the solution which changes the ending to *.mp4 without *.mkv.mp4 and tells the api the moved video:

/bin/sh -c "main=\"%f\";file=\"${main%.mkv}.mp4\";/usr/bin/ffmpeg -i \"$main\" -nostdin -c copy -f mp4 \"$file\" \&\& curl --data \"src=$main\&dst=$file\" \"http://API:1234@192.168.10.210:9981/api/dvr/entry/filemoved\" \&\& rm \"$main\";echo \"$main -> $file\""
(only one line...)

You need user API with password 1234 and admin privileges. Maybe you restrict the access for the user API only from the Tvheadend-IP for securty reasons.
