Re: [Avid-L2] Background transcode error Now Background

My background renders seemed to be not working or taking a long time to process so I cancelled the jobs. I then cleared inactive jobs and the background queue showed as empty. I then noticed under the show job groups there were still 5 background service status listing with check marks.

I trashed mc state, .avs file, settings.xml and the search data, statistics, and waveform cache folders. then when I restarted Avid the 5 jobs appeared to be processing. This time I cancelled them all and went immediately th the clear inactive jobs tab and clicked that made all the listings go away.

I restarted Avid and did a small background render and it worked. I'm now trying the longer background render to see if given enough time it will work as it has for me the past two weeks on 8.3.1.

I've read hear about the ama database needing to be deleted on occasion to stop strange behavior. Is there something similar in the land of background rendering that can be deleted to clear the queue? During all these tests and retry I made sure the Avid background services were running in the tool menu so it's not that. Anyone else seeing sketchy background rendering or very slow rendering at times. Up until today it's been working nicely for me.

Background transcode is running as a service in Windows, right? Check the user permissions under which it runs - did you install as a different user and /or a non-Admin user?

Wouldn't it be great if, in addition to the gobbledygook, error messages also tried to help you out a little by 1) interpreting the codespeak, and 2) offered potential remedies?

I get a little yellow warning triangle on the background services circle on the timeline. Have tried restarting the services and MC etc. but it won't go away. I think I need to clear out a queue or cache somewhere but not sure where or how,

Anyone got any ideas. I'm running v8.4 on PC.
