[mythtv-users] Automatic transcoding

[Alex Brekken]

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.
