====== Determining if a file needs to be transcoded when browsing on your device ======

Mezzmo can add a suffix to your media files' titles when they require transcoding.  This let you know in advance when transcoding on-the-fly will take place when streaming the file.

**Example:** Files with a '*' suffix require transcoding
<code>
Avatar
Finding Nemo*
Inception
The Incredibles*
</code>

If you want to know which files require transcoding and which files don't require transcoding when you are browsing your folders and playlists on your devices, then do the following:

  - In Mezzmo, go to the **Options dialog (Logging page)**.
  - Turn on the **Add text to title when a file requires transcoding** checkbox.
  - Choose a character or text that you want appended to your titles.  For example, the **'*'** character may be a good indicator.  Mezzmo will add this onto files' titles when they require transcoding when you browse your folders and playlists on your devices.\\ {{:optionstranscodingsuffix.png?nolink|Options dialog (Logging page)}}
  - Click **OK** and restart your Mezzmo server.
  - Browse your folders and playlists on your devices and you will see titles that have your special text suffix listed when they require transcoding.

**Note:** Files that do not require transcoding or have already been transcoded will not have the special text appended to their titles.
