Very strange because if flac is your first codec it also should not be converting to pcm_s24le. You don't have multiple config files or something do you? It should always choose the first codec so even if it wouldn't copy for some reason it should convert flac to flac.

Can you post the output of manual.py instead of that gif so I can look closer. And if you have that test file and can share it that would be helpful too.

Only 1 autoProcessing.ini file:

autoprocess.ini: https://pastebin.com/ArhwpiQ5

Sample file: https://www.mediafire.com/file/2jqx840fi9qdjbi/tes3t.mkv/file

Sample file works fine for me and copies appropriately

I'm noticing 2 problems with your setup that suggest you do in fact have 2 config files

First is that the autoProcess.ini you linked in your screenshot is in the setup folder and the one that's being read is in your config folder Loading config file C:\Users\Jacob\Desktop\sickbeard_mp4_automator-master\config\autoProcess.ini

Additionally the audio codecs you have listed in the pastebin show: codec = pcm_s24le,flac,dts,truehd,eac3,ac3,aac

And the codecs from your original post are codec = flac,pcm_s24le,dts,truehd,eac3,ac3,aac

These don't match. That at least explains why it opted to encode with pcm_s24le but I would sort out your config file structure and I suspect this will resolve

Ah that makes a bit more sense, Its working now after fixing that.

I havent been here in a while and am used to the config being in the main dir.

Thanks for the help.
