Pre-Transcoding certain files only

[nilesf]

Is there a way to tell Mezzmo to only pre-transcode certain files (e.g. *.mkv)? It is pre-transcoding every file (e.g. *.mpeg) even though my device plays them just fine without transcoding.


Thanks,
Niles

Hi Niles,

A few questions:

What version of Mezzmo are you running? If not v2.6.7, then please upgrade to it. After upgrading, delete all your devices in the Media Devices dialog and restart your Mezzmo server to get them re-listed.
What DLNA device do you have (including model number)?
What device profile is assigned to your device in the Media Devices dialog in Mezzmo?
What is the FFmeg information on one of the MPEG files that is being wrongly transcoded? To get this, right-click on the file in Mezzmo and click 'Get FFmpeg Information'.

That did the trick. Updated to 2.6.7.0, rebooted, deleted my device, and when my device reappered only MKV files are transcoding. Awesome!
