How do you set up MP3 Transcoding? It's greyed out. I got the video transcoding to work by adding the ffmepg files. I read something about an LMAC addin but can not find it. Running the latest 6. build.
Thanks..

@ChrisClaydon - it must be either a secret or a mystery!

Here are some links to instructions that might help you:

Then, you need to go to the server settings page and click on the Transcoding link under the Advanced Setup and select the codec you want to trancode to:

Most of the suggestions in that guide should help point you in the right direction for Linux as well. Of course, you'll need to download a different FFmpeg installer. There are a lot of good posts about trancoding on this forum, if you do some searches.
