<div dir="ltr">OK, to answer my own issue,<br><br>I saw went into Utilities / Setup -> Setup -> TV Settings -> Recording profiles -> Transcoders -> Autodetect from MPEG2<br><br>opened the settings and saved them, and now it works. Looks like a bug in myth that you have to open and save a profile before it can be used ( maybe something to do with upgrading from older releases compared to a clean install )<br>
<br>The questions remains though, how can i selet different transcoding profiles when transcoding?<br><br>Also, i thought there was a setting to have it keep the original file? I can't find it now, but it would be very useful to have until i am happy with the transcode results.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Hello all,<br><br>I'm trying to get transcode to work from the broadcast MPEG2 (UK freeview DVB-T) to DIVX to save some space.<br><br>Trying a manual job, if i trigger it either from the front-end or mythweb, it errors out with a message "No video information found!" <br>
<br>Looking at the code, this seems to indicate i haven't set the transcoder profile to use. I have setup a my own transcoder profile under:<br><br>Utilities / Setup -> Setup -> Tv Settings -> Recording Profiles -> Transcoders<br>
<br>However, when i transcode from the front-end ( Media Library -> Watch recordings -> <my recording> -> job options -> being transcoding )<br><br>the options it gives me are Default / auto detect/ high quality / medium quality / low quality. The new transcoding profile i have setup is not there.<br>
<br>If i use mythweb, it doens't prompt me for a profile at all.<br><br>Where do i need to tell it to which transcode profile to use???<br><pre><br>TIA,<br>dan.<br><br>00563 <span>if</span> (vidsetting == <span>"MPEG-4"</span>)<br>
