[ubuntu-mythtv] mythtranscode "AFD Error: Unknown audio decoding error"

[Julius Roberts]

Hello,

transcoding isn't working.  I believe i have configured the
transcoding profiles.  from the cli a manual attempt produces the
following.  playing the original file works fine within myth, but
transcoding produces errors.  I miight not have all the correct
packages because i built this machine up from ubuntu 10.04 LTS.

Kind regards, Jules

The CLI is everywhere. It's all around us, even in this very room. You
can see it when you look out your window or when you turn on your
television. You can feel it when you go to work, when you go to work,
when you pay your taxes. The GUI is the world that has been pulled
over your eyes to blind you from the truth ;)
