Transcoding problem

[charlesc]

I have been trying to get Mezzmo installed and set up to stream files both locally (home network) and externally. I am using the standard install of ffMPEG. I have both options of Intel Quick Sync and Nvidia NVEC available. Most of the device choices for transcoding have been for web access, using hla. I've also tried doing it for a Kodi RPi box I have.

Initially most of the 'test' files I tried (basic avi cartoons, some mpeg, some mkv) showed they were transcoding, although a few FAILED. The transcode folder certainly had files in it, and some seemed to play. I've read up quite a bit on the forum and Google searched. I turned off the encode using Intel and Nvidia, so just software.
Files seem to show that they need to be transcoded, irrespective of if they have run through transcoding.

I also tried a complete uninstall and re-install.
The odd thing I'm seeing is that the ffMPEG details for the files all seem to show the same exit code, and say the same thing in the last couple of lines.

"At least one output file must be specified
<MEZZMO>: Child process ended with code: 109, ExitCode=1"


What does that message really mean? I can provide more logs and run further tests, but what is it asking for with the output file?
EDIT: That message seems to be a very standard one contained in many posts.

The FROM folder below is actually my transcode output folder, not a source folder.

Any pointers appreciated.
