Just a suggestion you might consider to try. I'm assuming you are using a GROUP (cluster) to submit....
In compressor.app V4.1 Preferences (+,) / make certain hat the following are all DISABLED (turned off | not activated:
- My Computer/Allow other computers to process batches on my computer" = OFF
- Advanced/ Enable Additional compressor Instances" = UNTICKED
(just have a single instance until you get it all working- it reduces complexity and fault eliminations. add these as you do more work but for now just leave UNTICKED you have a singe instance of compressord)
- Create a Group (cluster)
- just for a SINGLE host (your main mac) .. dont add the other MACS (service nodes) so that the only node is "This computer"..
- name it (over type the name) - "jfmcluster"
- creates a cluster and will utilise the instances as yo add them later (step 2 above)
- MAke sure "Enable automatic FILE SHARING" is turned OFF (should be greyed out at this stage).
enable it when you get it all stable.
- Create a job and make sure that the Job item has in the inspector.. (create a customised SETTING and..)
- Video Tab / Multipass = TICKED and then
- General Tab / Video = Allow Job segmenting
- Submit the job using the cluster "jfmcluster"
Monitor the job via console.app / ~/logs / Compressor .. servicecontroller/com.apple.compressor.stomp.transcoder and the service node (step 2) log.
See if you turn up any errors.
If you extend this "jfmcluster" to use TWO nodes (a service node) in STEP3 make sure all the SOURCE and TARGET folders are available to that or other nodes and accessible too. (see ACL's for the files).
Post your results for others to see.
