Re: [mythtv-users] Automatic transcoding

[Alex Brekken]

Any chance a recording made on the master is trying to be transcoded by the slave? (or vice-versa)  I've got a master/slave backend setup, and I've noticed that often my transcoding jobs fail because  the slave tries to process a recording that was made on the master.  Looking at the backend logs on the slave, there's a mesage that states something to the effect that "remote" transcoding is not allowed.  (unlike commercial flagging, which can be done on any backend regardless of where the recording was made)  Not sure if this is what's happening in your case, but I've seen this bug quite often.

My auto transcoding has been failing more often than not for the past few
months.  As I've been swapping my master and slave backends (and
reinstalling Linux on the slave-now-master), I assumed it was some setting
or another that I overlooked.  I've gone back through them all to make sure
everything is set the way I think they should be set but it is still failing
at least half of the time.

What bugs me is that there's no indication as to why it failed.

I tried the manual version on the command line of a recording that
previously failed and it finished ok so there was no indication as to why
the autotranscode failed.

Is there a command-line switch or something I can use to get more
information as to why the auto transcode is failing?

You could try setting your debug level in the backend to verbose (-v) and if that doesn't give you any clues, try -v all.
