help with setup / how do i know TM is working?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I have Monitored folder set to: /Users/tom/Downloads/Transmission complete/
I have Output folder set to: /Users/tom/Downloads/Converted
I have Transcoder set to: /Applications/HandBrakeCLI
Extensions is set to avi,m4v,mkv,mp4

I have made sure those folders and the HandbrakeCLI exist at those locations. 
Monitoring is active.

When I drop an avi in the "Transmission complete" folder, nothing happens that 
I can see. Do I need to look for HandbrakeCLI in Activity Monitor or using ps 
-al in Terminal?

Do I need to have TM launched? Do I need to press Start in the Queue window?

Can TM handle spaces in paths to folders?

Any other suggestions?

Thanks

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

1.0 RC 4 on 10.6.4

You can open Console and view the system logs to any messages from TM. Also 
have a look at this ticket for somethings to troubleshoot 
http://code.google.com/p/transcoding-machine/issues/detail?id=2&can=1

When you drop a file into the monitored directory then it should show up in the 
queue, TM will be started if it isn't running by the OS. Try manually adding a 
file to the queue using the Add File button or drag and drop, if that is 
working fine then there is something causing the script to not be run, the 
issue linked above has a lot of info for troubleshooting that.

Thanks. When I manually add a file to the queue using the "Add" button, the 
file name shows up in the queue with a read stop sign next to it. When I click 
"Start" I briefly see a progress bar appear but it goes away and no conversion 
happens.

In the "log" tab for the queue item it says

"HandBrakeCLI: invalid option -- P
unknown option (--strict-anamorphic)"

OK. Changing the options to those in the link you sent worked for a manually 
added file. Now, I need to solve automatic conversion of files in a monitored 
folder. When I add the .avi file to the monitored folder, it is not added to 
the queue. I will look at the previous links you sent to see if those solve it.

When I add an avi to the monitored folder, this is what I see in Console:

Thats not good, there is no reason TM would need the Adobe stuff, it looks like 
you have some problems with applescript on the system, possibly missing files.

I removed /Library/ScriptingAdditions/Adobe Unit Types.osax to the Desktop. Now 
when I move a test avi into my monitored folder I don't see any messages in 
Console nor is the file added to the TM queue

Did you follow the steps in Issue #2? Turning on the loggging and saving the 
script using the applescript editor?

Found the culprit for the Adobe file.  Not sure if it will fix the problem but 
at least correct the 32bit file.

If you fix the Adobe problem and it still doesn't work, see the last few 
comments in Issue #2. You may have to re-compile and save the applescript file. 
It has worked for a few people.
