    The MP4 limitation applies mostly to mobile phones, not the XBox - it's different. Your assumption about slow transcoding is most probably right - that CPU is not enough to transcode high-def in real time. WMV encoding is one of the slowest one due to the fact that it's single-threaded (because of an FFmpeg limitation), so it will benefit from pure Ghz more than from the number of core (but a dual-core CPU is the recommended minimum for any transcoding).

    To skip through a file, it has to be fully transcoded - was the file still being transcoded when you tried to FF?

    When I realized it was tryign to transcode that big movie I knew it would be too much for the server, so I used the xbox to navigate to a small video in a format the xbox natively supports and played that (I thought i read somewhere that if you play another video while the mezzmo is transcoding, mezzmo will stop transcoding and respond to the new request).

    I think the transcoding was no longer happening on the server when I tried to play the movie because I noticed the CPU wasnt pegged at 100% any longer. Also the videos that woudl allow me to skip forward were mp4/h264/2-channel AAC so they were not being transcoded.

    Mezzmo will transcode in the background (if it's turned on), but the CPU priority of that transcoding if low (by default - you can change that), so it'll take a lot less of your CPU during that, but it will be much slower than "normal", real-time transcoding. If you start playing another video and it needs transcoding, that will take precedence, so ideally you'd want to start playing a long movie, then stop it and wait (without playing anything else). That'll make sure that this movie is being transcoded and not anything else.

    I am getting the exact same issue as stated in these posts... 6 channel not switching to 2 channel. I have tried all the methods listed here but to no avail. I am currently wanting to purchase this software as it works 10x better than Playon which I use now. However this bug is a bit of a deal breaker. I should also note that the exact movies I am attempting to play with Mezzmo (getting the above listed errors) work perfectly with Playon's software... but Playon doesn't fast forward / Rewind / Chapter Skip like Mezzmo does. Mezzmo seems to be a much slicker app and I would prefer to use it if this matter can be resolved.

    The problem with downsampling lies within the domain of FFmpeg's developers, we are not related to them in any way, so unfortunately I don't know when this will be implemented. We're testing new versions of FFmpeg on a weekly basis to check what bugs have been fixed and what new features implemented, so as soon as they've done it, we'll have it as well.
