I found 18 month old post on this list which solved the problem.
You need to set the transcoding configuration, it does not have a
default (IMMHO it really should, please), so the transcode breaks. The
critical hint is the bit in the log that says:
"Please ensure that the recording profiles for the transcoder are set"
I can't remember where in the setup I found them, but they're in the
settings somewhere.
Do I need to re-queue all the failed jobs?
Or will they restart themselves?
cheers,
