Hi fabriceD06
It appears that the Transcoder plugin does not have any interface to the PowerSchedule plugin since if I start a Transcode and revert to the main MP Menu, then the PowerScheduler Plugin shuts down the PC after the specified time even if the Transcoder plugin is still working. Also, the Transcoder only starts at the scheduled time if the PC and MP are on at the scheduled time.

I had a lot of cases where transcoded TV programs (to XVID/AVI using ffmpeg) lost sync between audio and video so I now add the option -ss 30 to Transcoder and it skips the first 30 seconds and I have found that all TV programs convert with good sync. I think the sync problem was due to something at the beginning of the TV program file because the A/V sync delay was constant through the whole TV program.

Apart from these issues, I commend Fabrice on a good job - especially updating the MP database after doing the Transcoding.
