  • Compressor 4.1 error when using shared computers

    Posted by Thomas Frank on January 16, 2014 at 3:16 pm

    Hi,

    I installed the latest Compressor which I really like except for one…
    If I use the Process on: “shared computers” I get the error Failed 3x or Failed 4x on all process.
    What does this mean and how can if be fixed?

    Do all shared computers have read write access to the same folder where the batches go?

    Okay, I created a Shared Folder and it worked for one try but on another I received the following error:

    HOST [MAC Pro 7] Error: error from MovieExportFromProceduresToDataRef: error from MovieExportFromProceduresToDataRef: : 10006

    and

    error: mkdir failed for path = [/Users/Shared/Library/Application Support/Compressor/Storage/D8220947-D02E6012/shared

    and

    Finishing: 3x HOST [Mac Pro 4} Source subexport mount failed: host = Mac-Pro-1.local, path = /Volumes/FCP Raid/…

    Also noticed that I don’t get any data in the Network Encoding Monitor

    Hi Tom ,regarding the error you see, (error: mkdir failed for path = [/Users/Shared/Library/Application Support/Compressor/Storage/D8220947-D02E6012/shared), just a couple of things you look at:

    1. if you are runoff OS server, make confirm the path is shared with access to you r/w (.. it usually is
    2. is this cluster storage has been removed previously, itMAY still have similar directory in the .Trash directory. ou may need to remove both of these .

    If 2. is true, then

    a. stop sharing (don’t share computer in Compressor.app 4.1 prefs
    b. delete the all the structures (folders) in /Users/Shared/Library/Application Support/Compressor/Storage / directory
    c. attempt to empty the trash on your files systems. (cmd+shift+delete)
    d. OPTONALLY: if the Trash won’t empty it may be because the serialisation needed to delete the objects in B. is not being honoured. Try to “rm -rf ~/.Trash” contents. If that fails you may need t restart th MAC to resolve the issue d. . The attempt steps c. and d. again

    A few people have had this issue.

    It may help you
