<p>> Assuming you're running some recent vintage of CVS, make sure that:</p>
<p>> </p>
<p>> - Auto-transcode is enabled in each recording schedule (it</p>
<p>> sounds like you've done this).</p>
<p></p>
<p>Done.</p>
<p></p>
<p>> </p>
<p>> - Auto-transcode is enabled in the Recording Profile for the</p>
<p>> desired capture cards (less obvious). Be sure to go all the</p>
<p>> way through the UI to click "Finish".</p>
<p></p>
<p>Done.</p>
<p></p>
<p>> Both need to be enabled for auto-transcode to occur. The idea is that</p>
<p>> you may want to transcode stuff recorded off your pcHDTV card to save</p>
<p>> disk space, but don't need to transcode stuff recorded off your PVR</p>
<p>> card which has already encoded something down to some acceptably-low</p>
<p>> bitrate.</p>
<p>> </p>
<p>> Having said that, I also experienced recent problems getting</p>
<p>> auto-transcode to work for new schedules. I ended up just going</p>
<p>> through a few cycles of going through the UI and restarting</p>
<p>> mythbackend until auto-transcode started working.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I didn't restart the backend, as I figured the changes would be read from the DB when the recording was actually started, but I'm restarting it now; we'll see...</p>
