Transcoding Option Bug

Post by AnnieBody »

Transcode settings not updating.
In attempting to resolve a conf file for my device, I followed the advice given and have activated the 'Show The Transcode Folder'.
This has left me with another headache as the icons related to the folder transcoding settting does not appear top be documented anywhere!
Surely common sense would dictate the need to provide users with an idea as to what the programmmer has generated?

Anyway, there is a bug with changing the transcoding settings.
Turning off the transcoding options then rebooting (the rebooting as there still isn't a means to reinitialise):

Means the transcoding options are still active.

Disabling should not mean they remain inactive.
How can I test transcoding when the options which I will never use remain active?

The options are created depending on the file and what transcoding engines are available, the first one is always no transcoding.
The icons are just the country flag for the language to be used when transcoding different languages for audio/subs that are available.
If you have all the engines but FFmpeg disabled then you will only see those relating to that engine.

When UMS starts it looks for installed engines, thats why it says more are available in the log, but that doesn't mean that are enabled.
