Title: MP3 converter for MJ 8.398 not working
Post by: Condor on May 15, 2003, 10:53:17 am

I need help with trying to get my MediaJukebox to convert files to an MP3 format.  First, I received the message "The MP3 encoder is not installed on the system.  ?
Do you wish to download and install now?  When I try to connect to install it, I receive the message "Failed to connect to a server".  :(

Then I tried this from another PC and downloaded the following file - enc_mp3.mjp.  So what now?  I don't exactly know where to put this file.  Though I took a guess and put it in the Media Jukebox directory under Program Files, but still no luck.

Please help...

There is a section in the FAQ on plug-in install problems.

Open the .mjp with notepad.

Copy the URL to the .zip file and download it to the same directory as the .mjp.

Edit the URL in the .mjp file to just have a filename. (no http://..../etc. in front of it)

Double-click the .mjp file.

If you're using Media Center 9, ignore the .mjp editing step -- it'll do it for you.

Thanks!
