It was a little odd that things were failing. Out of a 'folder' I was creating a folder via a 'command', then using a 'custom ffmpeg' to jam a video into the created folder.

My re-jig fixes it, but I would have expected the previous working to have worked.

Think I have sorted the problem here...

I had a command executor creating a folder for the custom ffmpeg jobs output folder. I have moved this creation back in the chain a few steps so it is created well in advance.

Hi, Decided to try the latest version (0.7.6.1) to see if it would solve an issue I was seeing with the previous version (0.7.5), whereby the first video through my conversion chain is fine, but the second in the queue (and beyond) seem to fail with the the error 'Custom FFmpeg fails with No video o...

Right...some more info... I was trusting the test video I was provided with was 'good'. It isn't. Well, in the sense of what I need to test with it isn't. It contains only an audio stream, no video. I am pumping through one of my test videos now and the workflow behaves as I would expect. Interestin...

I am using a custom ffmpeg.exe (one I compiled up with the cube mapping conversion code additition). But I am 99% sure it isn't that as it works perfectly on my i7, and works fine for the one video it does convert. I have tried adding the flag -threads 12 (to limit back the number of threads ffmpeg ...

Yes, exactly the same thing every time. Which I guess might suggest it isn't timing related.

They three go from 'Waiting for processor resources' in the job queue, to the 'No audio or video found in media' in the completed queue. Want me to send a video? Or the log files?

Me again :) My forked 4 encodes works a treat on my desktop (bog standard decent Intel i7 (8-logical-cores). But when I run it on a higher-end conversion machine (Xeon 48-logical cores) it only does one of the encodes with the error 'No video or audio found in media'. Anyone seen anything like this?...

Fail enough. The system is flexible enough to work around it with batch files etc so all good

Perfectly, you nailed it here:

"Once you fork a workflow you create separate instances of the job with their own copy of the variable"

Is 'workflow-wide' variables on the road-map?

Hi, Think my lack of knowledge of terminology and how the tool works may have, and indeed might here, hinder my explanation. Essentially, in the screen shot, you can see I fork into doing 4 encodes, then I jam them into a destination folder...and some time later, I want to increment a variable such ...
