Re: Help how to set up transcoding
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..
Thanks..

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

Re: Help how to set up transcoding
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.
