I'm  in the same boat. I've set auto-transcode both from mythweb, and
from the MythFrontend, and it doesn't do it. Actually ran out of space
this weekend while I was gone, so it would have been nice to shrink
some of those 6.5gb 1hr episodes to 1.1gb like happens when I manually
queue it.


As an example, here's a successful MANUAL transcode, from the jobqueue:

| 10524 |       1081 | 2008-05-15 16:00:00 | 2008-05-18 08:21:12 |
1 |    0 |     1 |    272 | 2008-05-18 13:30:16 | backend1 |
RENAME_TO_NUV | Low Quality: 6.5 GB => 1.1 GB  | 2008-05-18 08:21:12 |

Here's what I see in the 'record' table:

mysql> select recordid,title,autotranscode from record where title
like '%martha%';
+----------+--------------------------------+---------------+
| recordid | title                          | autotranscode |
+----------+--------------------------------+---------------+
|     2748 | The Martha Stewart Show        |             1 |
+----------+--------------------------------+---------------+


Thoughts?
