    Thanks for the screenshot.

    So, Mezzmo is installed in C:\Mezzmo and ffmpeg.exe is there, right? If you run your command prompt and type C:\Mezzmo\ffmpeg.exe - what do you get?

    Thanks. Looks good to me. I am not sure what's wrong, but we'll take a closer look at the code that gets the version - maybe something is buggy there. In any case, transcoding is working, so it's only the version string that's amiss, right?

    I had the same problem with them being greyed out so I set it to "Change the max number of transcoders to 2 or larger and it should re-enable then" Now the ffmpeg has no build date and while playing .mp4 movies there is no picture, just sound. Other file formats are ok but not .mp4


    when I goto the ffmpeg download site im unsure what I should be downloading and how to install it into mezzmo, Dennis could you explain this please.

    UPDATE: The video kicks in after about 20 seconds and seems fine, but when I goto transcoding settings the FFmpeg build date cannot be found even though the video is playing.

    In my case, FFmpeg installed during the Mezzmo installation. I also have an '07 FFdshow installation in another directory. Looks like FFmpeg with a config GUI. Don't expect this would cause any problems but could chunk it if necessary. If there is benefit to installing FFmpeg separately so that the build date is found I'm down for that.

    Which site are you trying to download FFmpeg from? Generally, you'll just replace the ffmpeg.exe in Mezzmo's installation folder (or use the Transcoding Settings to point to a different folder with a different FFmpeg), but if you plan to replace our stock FFmpeg, please make sure that it contains all the formats that are needed for your device. We do not support FFmpeg builds other than our own, so if it doesn't transcode, then we can't help you (because we do not control how it's built and what is included).

    FFdshow shouldn't be a problem - we're not using it and FFmpeg itself is not using it either.

    FFdshow shouldn't be a problem - we're not using it and FFmpeg itself is not using it either.
    Im downloading it from within mezzmo in the check for updates to FFmpeg. I havnt installed anything as even though there is no build date etc my media still streams. Ill wait for the next mezzmo update and see if this sorts out the no ffmpeg build date problem.


    Cheers.

    You could try to uninstall Mezzmo and reinstall it and see if that works better. You ffmpeg information should be 20th January 2011 for the latest version of Mezzmo.
