Auto Transcode Not Working

[MovieWiz]

I was just experimenting and don't really need it myself.  But auto transcode option just doesn't seem to work at the moment.  I saw a previous post that explained that the MPEG2 should be transcoded to h264 and the ac3 to aac in a ts container.  It just doesn't happen.  Many hours later, a short recorded ts file still has MPEG2 and AC3 inside.

Just passing this on in case it would matter to you.  Like I said, I don't really need it myself.  I was using the CPU encoder.  So it's not the problem with hardware encoders sometimes not working in a service.

Do you have a postprocessing script file? If so, then the auto-transcoding setting is ignored.

That is true - it'll only do it if you dont have a PostProcessing.bat.

Otherwise, post the logs and I'll check why it didnt work.

Yes, I had a PostCancel and PostProcessing script to delete the companion xml file for the recorded ts file. I don't need the xml since I usually use Plex as my player. I'll temporarily rename the scripts and retest -- but, as always, you guys are right on top of things and I expect it will work again.
