Convert Existing TV Recordings / Bulk Update Favorites

[KarylFStein]

I can't get reliable playback across all my clients, (except the HD300s--they seem to play anything). It used to be just a few bad apples, but now it seems to be most everything. After trying different things I think I may just end up converting everything from MPEG2-PS/TS to MKV.

1. Is there any way to bulk tag recorded TV file to be converted, (even on the show level would help)? (Although I'm guessing I should look at a SJQ task to do the initial bulk conversion.)

2. Is there a way to bulk update all my existing favorites to set the convert after flag/options?

3. I see people saying that Comcast is starting to move from MPEG2 for some channels. Is it possible using the built-in convert option to only trigger on MPEG2? (I'd prefer using built-in or supported plugins meaning not SJQ.)

Well, to answer one of my questions: just use the web interface to "select all" and trigger the conversions. Repeat for each page.
