I am a newbie who has MP set up to record TV to a NAS that is also mapped as a local drive.

In the past all has worked well.  But for some reason now the transcoding plugin has stopped working, both for scheduled transcoding and for transcoding on demand.

I figure it might be easiest first to sort out transcoding on demand.  If that can be made to work then the scheduled service might too.

When I requested a transcode on demand just now and then looked at the Transcoding status in iPiMP, I got:

Transcoding is not running.

Last time it finished at 14.1.2012 5:00:56

and finished at

This task succeeded.

The tv.log file has:

In fact nothing happened, as far as I can see (certainly the file did not transcode).

When I entered the above command line (i.e. C:\Program Files\iPiMP\Utilities\HandBrake\HandBrakeCLI.exe -Z "iPhone & iPod Touch" etc.) directly via the run command in Win7, it appears to be doing what it should.

Any suggestions anyone?

Thanks
