If you're saying you did as I recommend and when you hit x during 
playback it does not say "Transcoding" on the on-screen display and it 
does not transcode, I would guess there's an error message in your log 
file--probably the frontend log file--saying why.  My guess, you're 
using a remote frontend and the file is not available locally (i.e. you 
need to NFS-mount the backend storage on the frontend).
