Well I have a couple issues actually, the subject being the most
pressing.
I have been spending most of the day working on a series of
subscriptions, watch folder, and xml read/write based automations.
While I still havn't got the results I am looking for, at least
everything was functioning. Then suddenly, with no warning, my
subscriptions seemed to completely ignore anything they were
subscribed to. Restarting the client and restarting the machine did
not fix the problem. Finally I opened system preferences, stopped the
server and then clicked start the server, and now it just tells me
"There was an error communicating with the server...please start up
the database server."
I am unable to find any documentation or discussion on why this has
happened and how I can fix it.
and on less dire topic...
As it stands, FCSvr does not parse the XML of a .motn project to map
any file dependencies. Our workflow involves thousands of .motn files,
and significantly less PSDs or TIFFs that may be referenced by any
number of .motn files. My goal is to have automations in place that
can detect modified children assets of the .motn and re-transcode any
affected .motn file. Thus far the only theoretical solution I could
come up with before my server died involved the following:
1)Subscribe to any modified PSDs or TIFFs and trigger an external
script that parses the title of the modified file for the element that
represents what .motn files that asset is associated with.
2)That external script then edits the FCSvr XMLs of any .motn files
that contain said element in its name.
3)A Watcher looks for modified XMLs and then reads them, thereby
updating the status of any .motn that needs to be re-encoded
4)A Subscription looks for .motn assets whose status has changed and
responds with a copy+conversion.
Is there a better way that I am completely overlooking?
Thanks,
Ryan
