I think I found the problem. In the custom-convert.conf I was using $FILE$ instead of $URL - this is OK for transcoding files but not streams with URLs. Luckily ffmpeg can handle the "file://" URL type so MP4 transcoding of files is not broken by adding support for MP4 streams. Can you test.

i believe the article said Norway switched off its national FMs, but locals still do FM. i know very little about the various DAB implementations. i think if the different gov'ts of the world want to go all digital to replace analog FM so they can reclaim the spectrum for other uses they will
