File error: a file with this filename: media server has unexpectedly quit

I have not had any problems until yesterday when I went to export a new FCP project to Compressor and received the above messages. I have tried renaming the project, re-rendering, etc. to no avail. I have tried to follow the suggestions of similar threads but cannot find the place in Compressor where I can switch the video setting from automatic to NTSC.
What am missing? Any suggestions welcome.

Disregard my last post - uninstalling Norton Anti-virus solved the problem.

  • Media Server application unexpectedly quit??

    Greetings All,
    I am trying to export from FCPS to compressor using a cluster created with Qmaster. In the cluster there are 2 machines. One computer is set up as services only and the other is set with services and cluster controller. When Batch monitor comes up I get the following Error. Failed: Host [hostname.local] Media Server application unexpectedly quit. Have I set up the cluster wrong? what might cause this error??
    Thanks

    Well, I'm not sure what exactly is going on yet, but here's what I've done:
    I followed these steps for the "Unable to connect to background process" issue that Compressor sometimes has, even though that wasn't the issue. It sort of made sense to do, though, because when I reinstalled FCP and DVDSP, I did DVDSP4 first, then FCP HD 4.5, which predates DVDSP 4 by a generation (I think). So it was possible that Compressor got screwed up in the install...still hard to tell, though.
    So then I just tried a bunch of videos in Compressor. After several various attempts, it appears that *perhaps, maybe* it was just a bad custom preset. The built-in 150 min 2-Pass is currently working away on the video, and is 10% into it, which is 10% more than the custom preset ever got.
    So, I'm gong to let that encode, and then try to make the preset again, from scratch, and see I can figure anything out. The only thing different between the 150 min 2-Pass preset and my version of it was the addition of a Gamma Correction filter. So, who knows...
    If anyone knows anything else, please make a post.

  • Can't get remote cluster machine to encode video - getting 'Media Server application unexpectedly quit'

    Hi
    Using Compressor 4 / Apple QuarterMaster admin etc, I have set up a Cluster and it works well to Share > Export Using Compressor Settings.  That took some doing, and I'm happy that it works.
    If I do all my processing in the foreground, or alternatively in the background on my FCPX computer, ie without running or using any cluster in the background, it all goes well.  Quick, error free. 
    If I activate the cluster and only put my local machine's compressor services into it, and then send my compressor batch to the cluster, it works perfectly well.  But that defeats the point of having a cluster.  I want the remote machine to do all the work so my local machine doesn't slow down.
    Unfortunately, if I add the remote machine's services into the cluster, the encoding always fails with 'Media Server application unexpectedly quit' in the error log.  I know that the cluster is distributing segments of the file to the remote machine - this can be seen in the Share Monitor, but they never get processed and sit there waiting until I get the error message.
    The remote machine is a modern 4G core 2 duo MacBook. It's never been used for this before.  It has Compressor 4 and the Pro Apps Update installed and both appear to work.  Both machines are running 10.6.8.  The remote machine has Compressor services initialised in Apple QMaster sharing.  The QMasterAdmin sees these services.  They are accessible over Bonjour and appear in the Cluster.  Compressor services from both the local and the remote machine are configured exactly the same way.  The same QT codecs exist on both machines.  I've restarted, shift-restarted, etc etc.
    So I am at a loss here.  The remote machine just won't compress anything it is sent. 
    Any ideas?  Must both have FCPX installed?
    Anyone actually got a remote machine in a cluster to work with Compressor 4?  I can't figure it out.
    Chris.

    OK... finally sorted it out.
    It's a bug, as far as I can tell. 
    Any job entered directly into Compressor 4 in the normal Compressor manner will be successfully rendered by any working cluster from any machine that can access the cluster.  That's good.  It means that the underlying distributed processing model works well.
    HOWEVER - any job forwarded to a Compressor 4 cluster that includes non-local compressor services (ie compressor services not resident on the same machine), using Share > Export Using Compressor Settings direct from FCPX will fail.
    To confirm this bug, I made a cluster on a remote machine.  It was a dual core machine, so I enabled 2 compressor services on that machine, and that's all the cluster was.  Simple.
    I then manually entered a video file (ProRess 422 720p) into Compressor on the remote machine.  I did this by physically setting up new job using the compressor user interface.  A bog standard ProRes422 720p file rendered fine this way on the remote machine.  As did anything else I gave it.  Good.
    Then on my main machine, I opened Compressor and made a job based on the same file and settings, and sent it to the remote machine's cluster.  No problem at all!  Great!
    So now I know that both Compressor versions, and the clustering model, are working fine.  In fact I can send all sorts of files to the cluster, from any other version of compressor, and have them processed on the remote machine, and get the result back on my desktop later on.  Excellent.
    But, if I try put this same file into a FMPX timeline, and go Share > Export Using Compressor Settings.... and select a cluster with remote (non-local) compressor services, it does not work.  Rendering the video segments on the remote machine times out and fails, every time.  It doesn't matter what file format I use, it just fails. 
    So it's a bug. 
    From what I can tell, Final Cut Pro X somehow messes up the Share > Export Using Compressor settings where the cluster includes non-local compressor services, causing all jobs to fail.  The same Share > Export Using Compressor Settings will work quite happily if all the services on the cluster are on the same machine as FCPX, or if the job is sent to This Computer in the background.  But any attempt to send files to a cluster using any remote services will fail.
    I hope this saves some people from wasting as much time as I have!
    One workaround is to export to ProRes then put this file manually into Compressor, sending the job to the remote cluster.  This is a two step process with a large intermediary ProRes file.  If one goes Export as QuickTime movie, generating the intermediary file prevents further FCPX work being done. 
    To get the intermediary in the background one could use  Share > Export Using Compressor Settings via either This Computer, or to a cluster using only local services.  Then once complete, manually add it to a compressor job.
    So this is a FCPX bug as far as I can tell.
    Chris.

  • I can no longer log into my ichat linked to my gmail.  right after opening up ichat, receive the following message:  lost connection with jabber.  the server has unexpectedly disconnected.

    i can no longer log into my ichat linked to my gmail.  right after opening up ichat, receive the following message:  lost connection with jabber.  the server has unexpectedly disconnected.  how to troubleshoot?  thanks.

    Hi,
    There can be many reasons why the Login is "up the creek".
    Any break in the network at your end whilst logged in will cause  an issue.
    A sort of discrepancy between what iChat thinks the state should be and what the server thinks.
    If they don't agree the server will refuse to accept.
    A Crash at the server end which does not log you out properly will also do it.
    Any file at any time can be come corrupted.
    Luckily with the iChat .plists they are recreated if removed with an iChat Restart.
    If it were AIM you can also get your Account Suspended  and this will not log you in.
    (It tends to happen from Chat rooms where people notify AIM about bad behaviour (as they see it) and you have to apply to get Un-suspended).
    Most of the big IM services use multiple servers.
    Sometimes these go out of Sync.
    In the case of AIM this happens when they remove Old unused Screen Names from people's Buddy List prior to making them available for re-registration.  I am not sure if this happens at Google.
    You seem to be talking about an account that has worked at Work and having new computer at home.
    As I mentioned the Priority thing you have not said that it has coincided with the new computer logging in  (this will kick the work Computer out of Google whether you are logged in  on the Web Mail page or in iChat)
    IN addition to that iChat stays partially logged in for Off Line IMs
    This is done in the background by a support app called iChatAgent
    If your Computer is ON but ichat is not started people can still send you Messages.
    Instead of saving these on the server until you login iChat will start up.
    Depending if the home Mac is effecting the Work Login it may be holding sway over your Login.
    Using your girlfriend's login may have booted her Off Line where she normally uses the name/login.
    The AIM Side can be specifically set to allow Multiple Logins and therefore NOT allow them.  If this happens you get a warning and messages to do something about it.
    You do not get these in any Jabber or Google Login as the Priority setting is supposed to take care of it.
    If the Login works at the Web Mail Login and on one computer then the .plist on the work computer is the most likely issue.
    There is a small chance that a Corrupt Buddy Pic (Home Folder/Library/Caches/com.apple.iChat/Pictures) may be the cause.
    Set this folder to icon view and also use the Finder's View Menu > Show View Options and select icon view.
    This should show all pics as their icon.
    Check that all display properly.
    At this point I would try a COMBO version update install of the last Update you did over what you have.
    This often corrects hard to trace things
    The 10.5.8 COMBO is here

  • Failed: Media Server application unexpectedly quit

    Hi!
    I have a 2.5 hour movie which I have sent to Compressor to convert using the DVD Best Quality 150min preset. However, after 2 tries (leaving it rendering voer night) I keep getting the message- Failed: Media Server application unexpectedly quit.
    I got the audio track perfect, but the video track seems to be the problematic one.
    What does this mean? It is very frustrating, especially i am on a tight deadline now. What did I do wrong?

  • "Lost Connection with Jabber. The server has unexpectedly disconnected"

    Hello,
    One of the colleague in my company has this problem with her iChat. I checked on the server and this block of messages showed up.
    "bouncing a packet to [email protected] from user@server: Socket Error to Client"
    Anyone knows what's going on, and how to go about fixing it?

    Hi,
    Welcome to the    Discussions
    As that sound like iChat Server I would point you to here Xserve > Leopard > iChat Server as they are more likely to understand this side of things.
    On her computer she should not have the Firewall set to Essentials as iChat is not an Essential App.

  • Firefox crashes on opening with message "the applicationFirefox-bin has unexpectedly quit

    As stated above. It then tries to send a Talkback incident but this fails. I have tried to download a new version of Firefox but this gives an error message saying the disc image failed to mount and can't be opened. I am running an Apple Mac OSX 10.3.9. I have not had a problem in the past so something has happened to cause this problem. Any ideas?
    Ken

    See this article for backing up your information:
    http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information
    If you backup your profile, you can try uninstalling Firefox completely and installing it again. That will create a fresh new profile, but, of course, will erase your own (hence the need to back it up). If you do this, see if the new profile on the fresh install has the same problem. If it doesn't, porting your things from your old profile should be relatively simple.
    Also, while I'm sorry you've been without a browser for so long, all I can do is help you the best I can and know, and say that, if I were in your situation, I'd be using another browser while this issue wasn't sorted out.

  • "media server application expectly quit" when submitting from final cut pro

    browsing through the list, it seems the problem couldn´t be solved so far.
    doing some systematic testing, the following riddle shows up:
    ... when adding a QT ref movie (or movie) directly to the compressor batch list and submit to the cluster, everything runs fine.
    ... when exporting from final cut pro:
    menu -> export -> using compressor ...
    submitting in compressor using:
    1) Cluster: this computer: everything keeps running fine.
    2) Cluster: MylovelyCluster ....
    the job fails with the message "Failed: HOST [clusternode_name.local] media server application unexpectedly quit"
    since there is 5TB + of data to be compressed, copying files to the render nodes is not an option. all data is on a shared xraid, connected via giganet.
    Any ideas, any hints appreciated !
    regards,
    p.s. Anybody running an XSAN having the same issues?
    G5s, G4s, G3s, macminis, powerbooks   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   xraid

    ... well, the answer is in other topics.
    showstopper explains it patently again and again ...
    thanks from here.
    shortly: when submitting from FCP, every node HAS to have FCP installed and MUST have access to the same relative file path (mounted shared volume). If the volume is not present, the render node will open the reconnect media dialogue and waits for user input.

  • Copy a file with same filename using XI - module experts please help!

    Guys,
    Felix Jeyareuben had an excellent blog on how to copy a binary file with XI.
    /people/sap.user72/blog/2005/07/15/copy-a-file-with-same-filename-using-xi
    It is a shame by the way that such a simple thing has to be this complicated in XI, but that's another question...
    So after I created the EAR file and successfully deployed the modules on our XI server, I got the following file adapter error, when I was trying to use it:
    Sender Adapter v2727 for Party '', Service 'BS_TA_XI_DEV':

    - 2006-11-30 14:10:00 EST: Processing started
    Can you give me any clues what could have gone wrong?
    This is the first module I deployed so I might have messed up something simple, but I cannot figure this out.
    Also how can I debug this?
    Your help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks a lot,

    Do it like in the mentioned blog, but don't do any mapping. That will be fine.

    Check your EAR if there are any libs from the adapter framework and delete them if necessary.
    After deployment check in your visual administrator if your EAR is available.

  • Creating an XML file with CFFILE on UNIX server

    I've run into a problem with creating an XML file on a UNIX
    server. I don't have access to the server and I'm trying to create
    an XML file so an outside agency can read it through the site URL.
    On a Windows machine I use GetDirectoryFromPath and
    ExpandPath to return the drive/path info, then I create the file
    with this and the query result. On the Unix web server I am only
    being returned a relative path, because of this I can't write the
    XML file to the web server. Any idea how to get around this?

    Knowing as little as I do about Unix I thought you still needed
    a drive "letter" to write the XML file to. I've been told I can get
    to the root but that it's root is "/bottomFolderName" (I was
    expecting R:\webRootPath\yourFolder\etc\XMLFileWrittenHere).
    No, that is Windows thinking. You were told right. In Linux,
    a path usually begins with the forward slash /.
    I had doubts about your code itself. Did you run your version
    of my example on Windows? If it works, then you will only have to
    replace the Windows path with something like the following. The
    rest of the code remains the same.
