    Default Transcoder settings greyed out

    In transcoding settings the "complete partially transcoded audio/video files in background" is unchecked and greyed out.
    The "Use low priority CPU when completing partially transcoded audio/video files" is checked and also greyed out.
    Max number of transcoders is set to 1.

    Should these checkboxes be greyed out?

    No, they shouldn't be grayed out. Is the FFmpeg folder set correctly? Do you see a Build date?

    FFmpeg installed with Mezzmo ver 4.1.1 I believe it was. I had FFmpeg 3.1 installed so I uninstalled it first, then installed Mezzmo2.1.12. Not quite sure what you mean by set correctly, do you mean pathed? In Transcoder Setttings I have C:\Mezzmo in ffmpeg application folder and ffmpeg.exe exists in the folder. FFmpeg runs as a process when I transcode so I presume everything is setup properly. There isn't a build date under file properties. Said it was version 4.1.1 I think when it installed last week.

    Sorry, I missed a crucial point Change the max number of transcoders to 2 or larger and it should re-enable then.

    The FFmpeg build date is shown right under the FFmpeg application folder.

    This will probably sound stupid but where would I see the FFmpeg application folder? Somewhere on the Mezzmo GUI I presume.

    It's in the Transcoding settings dialog - the one with the number of transcoders - at the top

    Says; Warning: Could not get build date from FFmpeg.exe. Check that FFmpeg is operating correctly. Mezzmo transcoded a .mzt file. The only indicator I have that it may work. Can the MZT file be played to determine if it encoded correctly?

    Strange... Did you replace FFmpeg with your own one? When you mentioned that you had FFmpeg 3.1 and then you put in 4.4.1 - what did you mean? FFmpeg's versions are a bit different, e.g. SVN-r26397.

    And yes, you can rename the .mzt to .mpeg (or .mkv - depending one the output format) and it'll play on your PC.

    No, just the opposite. I uninstalled an older version and installed Mezzmo which came with I presume a fairly recent version. Is there a way to ensure it's working correctly? I presume it is working right since it transcodes to my DirecTv fine, just not to my iPhone.

    Can you please post a screenshot of your Transcoding Settings dialog? It sounds like it's working ok, but for some reason the build date is not picked up correctly.
