I use my Mediaportal as a recordingstation for my Dreambox. So in fact it's not connected to Equipment like TV and fully administrated by Remote. I use MP webinterface to configure my recordings. Everything is fine, but the automatic compression doesn't work. I set it to compress, if mediaportal is idle for 1 Hour. When i check my settings and reset it, he immediatly starts compressing, but new recordings never get compressed.
Due to my usage as an recordingstation it's necessary to compress the files to mpeg2 to be able to view them on my Dreambox.

I read about the problem here in the forums, but they advised simply to compress by hand, in my case this is not really possible, cause i'm not directly connected to the PC.

Maybe there is also a new webinterfacesoftware, that supports such additional functions, the actual one is ok, but there are lot of optimizations possible and the code ist not as fine, as it could be.

Hope someone could help me. Maybe there is also a possibility to create a sheduler job, that checks every hour for uncompressed files and compresses them independently from the running MP.

Is here nobody with the same problem or someone who is able to tell me a workaround to automatically compress captured Movies?
I'm wondering, the less support in this forum. I know MP is for free and nobody earns some money, but whats about the comm, nobody able to help me?

Maybe someone is able to help me. Would be nice.

Did you do a search around? There are guides such as https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/showthread.php?t=4594&highlight=AutoDVRConvert which may be useful for you if the MediaPortal compressor is not working for you.

I searched a lot, but only found topics describing the problem without giving a solution.

The Topic you posted seems to be an interessting one, will try this out.

Thx for help.

I have the same issue. The auto compress feature just does not seem to work (in my configuration). Compressing manually works, but it's not as conevenient as auto compress (and the UI almost stalls on my system during the conversion due to the harddrive access).

Until now, i was unable to get the util to work. Always gave me an error. But i'll try on, have some ideas what to try. But time is short.

Yeah, it's working by now. The CLSID for the filter seems to not to be equal on each windows installation. So i started regedit to search for the "cyberlink mpeg muxer" and found it with CLSID {6770E328-9B73-40C5-91E6-E2F321AEDE57}.

Creating a new xgr file with these datas was the clue.

Now everything seems to be fine.

Thanx for the help.
