Hi,

Firstly, i would like to thank the developers 's team and all the contributors for their work with this amazing program.

Secondly, the problem i encoutered concerns the mencoder trancoding engine (Os: ubuntu 16.04).
I specified the executable path of mencoder program and the transcoding engine is marked as activated.

When i lauch the trancoding process on my tv, the program exit with a error message.

Here is an extract of the debug log:

I don't know if the problem is caused by my version of mencoder (1.2.1) or by a problem of misconfiguration.

I 'd really appreciate any help to solve this issue and i join the debug log for more info.

The problem is in MEncoderVideo (line 1384). For quick fix, you can replace the line with

atamariya is right, and it will be fixed in the next version the fix is already in GitHub so feel free to build that, or if you want I can build it for you, let me know
