No. In addition to the post-processing option, you *also* need to set up your Hardware Recording Profile (e.g., Default or whatever you are using) to enable auto-transcode. The idea is that some capture cards already have hardware-assist for encoding (PVR-x50), which can be configured for your desired disk space consumption rate at capture time. Others have no encoding capability at all (HD-3000), so recordings made by those cards must be post-processed by mythtranscode to save disk space. On a system with both kinds of cards, you would only need auto-transcode for recording profiles for the encoder-less pieces of hardware. --Rob signature.asc Description: Digital signature ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Ahh I see. I don't remember seeing the Hardware Recording Profile option. Do you remember off-hand where I can find it? Maybe I don't have it set.

Re: [mythtv-users] Automatic transcoding
Any chance a recording made on the master is trying to be transcoded by the slave? (or vice-versa) I've got a master/slave backend setup, and I've noticed that often my transcoding jobs fail because the slave tries to process a recording that was made on the master. Looking at the backend logs on the slave, there's a mesage that states something to the effect that remote transcoding is not allowed. (unlike commercial flagging, which can be done on any backend regardless of where the recording was made) Not sure if this is what's happening in your case, but I've seen this bug quite often.

I think that might actually be the problem. Before, I had both backends using the same location (slave via NFS). Now that they are currently separate, it looks like anything recorded on the slave is failing. I've changed the setting and will see how it goes.
