[mythtv-users] What happened to my auto-transcode?

[Jim Stichnoth]

This has happened to me twice so far.  I set up a recording rule for some
show for my kid, keeping only the most recent 5 episodes.  My kid ends up
liking the show, so I remove the 5-episode restriction and enable
auto-transcode to mpeg-4.  But the auto-transcode never happens -- I have to
do it manually each time.  Mythweb shows all the settings of the recording
rule as they should be.  (I use mythweb for all recording rule
manipulation.)  If I enable auto-transcode when I'm first creating the
recording rule, everything is fine.  The backend log shows no errors, in
fact nothing at all shows up in the log about transcoding until I start it
manually.

I thought maybe changing the job config for the recording rule would only
affect newly scheduled recordings, but 2 weeks later (i.e. completely new
Schedules Direct data) the same thing is still happening.

Has anyone seen this problem?  Is there anything I can do in mythweb or the
UI to get the auto-transcode to happen, short of deleting and recreating the
recording rule?

(This is 0.21 from MythDora 5.)
