Hello,

I have bought some itunes videos and tried now to stream them to my devices (Sony DVD, iPad).
I realized, that mezzmo startet to transcode, but actually the file size is always 0 bytes and even after waiting for 15 min, nothing happens.
I am using 8player and I believe, that my setup is correct.
Any ideas, why the transcoding doesn't work?

It's possible that the files are DRMed and FFmpeg cannot transcode them.

Can you please right-click on one of those files in Mezzmo and then post the output of the "Get FFmpeg Information" command here?

Hi Martine,

The movie you have listed has DRM (digital rights management) embedded into it. I guess you purchased it via iTunes. Unless your LG TV can play files with Apple DRM, then it is will be impossible to play them on your TV. Given that your LG TV is not playing it, then there is unfortunately nothing we can do about it. Mezzmo cannot transcode them another format either. Sorry I cannot help further.
