Any chance a recording made on the master is trying to be transcoded by
the slave? (or vice-versa) I've got a master/slave backend setup,
and I've noticed that often my transcoding jobs fail because the
slave tries to process a recording that was made on the master.
Looking at the backend logs on the slave, there's a mesage that states
something to the effect that "remote" transcoding is not allowed.
(unlike commercial flagging, which can be done on any backend
regardless of where the recording was made) Not sure if this is
what's happening in your case, but I've seen this bug quite
often. <br>

My auto transcoding has been failing more often than not for the past few<br>months. As I've been swapping my master and slave backends (and<br>reinstalling Linux on the slave-now-master), I assumed it was some setting<br>
or another that I overlooked. I've gone back through them all to make sure<br>everything is set the way I think they should be set but it is still failing<br>at least half of the time.<br><br>What bugs me is that there's no indication as to why it failed.
<br><br>I tried the manual version on the command line of a recording that<br>previously failed and it finished ok so there was no indication as to why<br>the autotranscode failed.<br><br>Is there a command-line switch or something I can use to get more
<br>information as to why the auto transcode is failing?</blockquote></span></div><div><br>
You could try setting your debug level in the backend to verbose (-v) and if that doesn't give you any clues, try -v all.<br>
