Automatic Transcoding Not Working

[taz]

I recently updated to the v.1.4.7. Since then none of my recordings have been automatically converted as configured. I occasionaly missed one before but now I am missing every one. I can go into the Video Library and start the transcode process as defined by the same profile that is configured to automatically transcode files, so I know my settings are OK. Attached are my log files as well as my config.xml file.

Is there any way to confirm the AutoConvertMpgToFormat process is actually starting as defined in the <!-- Post processing --> section of config.xml?

Autoconvert (from .ts) to mpeg has never worked for me. I think it is acknowledged as currently being broken, possibly since 1.4.7.

Hi,

It looks like MPEG-2 is not defined in the config.xml file for AutoConvertTSToFormat (Program Files\Devnz\GBPVR). I fixed this by changing to to this:-

<AutoConvertTSToFormat>TsToMpg</AutoConvertTSToFormat>
......

and adding a definition for TsToMpg in CustomFFmpegConversions:-

<CustomFFmpegConversions>
<Conversion name="TsToMpg" cmd="-y -i {SOURCE_FILE} -vcodec copy -acodec copy -f dvd {DEST_FILE}" targetExtension=".mpg" />
........
</CustomFFmpegConversions>

You could probably just add a defintion for MPEG-2 in CustomFFmpegConversions

Hope that helps.
