Q: Uploads to FCS in Idle status

weird! I was just looking for an answer to this question. This just started happening today.

In the Server Menu, Search All Jobs, double click the job, what info is there?
What is the Job's status?
Did you go into System Preferences to Stop, then restart FCSvr?

HHHmmm... Something is corrupted... Let me think...

What's your hardware/network setup?

hmmmmm... tried everything and checked everything. Still idle. Seems that this happened after I upgraded to 1.5.2 and updated OS X. Think it's more 1.5.2.

Has anyone solved this?

I just went through this loop myself so I thought I'd chime in, even if it is solved. Although the upload/download window says "idle", when I checked Server>Search all Jobs the server machine is "transcoding clip" which can take some time if the clip is a long one. The next clip dragged to the server doesn't seem to upload until the first one is done transcoding. It sure looks like the process is stalled, but it's not. On the past I have uploaded whole folders and productions and walked away, so I never noticed the long periods of apparent "inactivity".

Tried all of that... still nothing. So much for my workflow now. I am completely stumped on this one. Would hate to have to go through another re-install.

Anyone solve this at all?

It may be an issue with the client software installation. Try removing your desktop application and reinstalling it from <name-of-server>/finalcutserver

Look at the FCSvr admin log and the server console log for clues.

A re-install of the client software did the trick
