Description Julius Dauz 2008-03-18 16:15:26 UTC

When you select to transcode a file type, for example flac to mp3, without having the decoder (lame) in the correct directory, SqueezeCenter indicates that the settings have been saved. When you look at the setting you just tried to implement, it defaults back to "disabled".

Forgot to include...

There should be an error message.

Comment 2 Michael Herger 2008-03-31 10:07:52 UTC

Julius - do you still see this issue with the latest nightly? There was bug 7424 which could have caused this issue. That bug has been fixed.

Comment 3 Michael Herger 2008-04-02 02:04:57 UTC

change 18285 - this is not only about Lame, but about any helper binary. This change will disable the drop down boxes for any transcoding which requires installation of an additional binary.

Support should keep in mind that if an option is greyed out, then the necessary binary is missing.

Comment 4 James Richardson 2008-05-09 15:57:55 UTC

Verified fixed in 7.0.1 - 19597 r2409 - r23

Comment 5 James Richardson 2008-05-15 12:29:27 UTC

This bug has recently been fixed in the latest release of SqueezeCenter 7.0.1

Please try that version, if you still see the error, then reopen this bug.
