External Encode Server
Hello everyone, tell me, can encode server work in an external network? I have 2 computers in different Internet networks, they see each other on the external network, I configured them this way, but is it possible to do this for encode? To throw ports? Which ones? Will it work?

Re: External Encode Server
It should work, though you will need to specify the IP addresses of the servers in the configuration, as the "auto detection" will not happen.
You need to allow connections on ports 6192-6194.

Re: External Encode Server
I guess you need to tell us more about the specific network configuration.

Re: External Encode Server
What kind of an internet connection is this? You need something in the range of 1GBit/s to see any performance improvement. I don't think this makes sense. As you may recognise, it takes an enormous amount of time to receive the raw data through this internet connection. If this is asymmetric (most internet connections have a higher download rate than upload rate), there is probably a bottleneck from main to remote because uncompressed images have to be pushed through the slower upstream to the remote encoding server.

Re: External Encode Server
you are right, apparently the connection speed simply does not allow, in which case there is no point in this topic anymore. thanks for the help =)

Re: External Encode Server
It's not a particularly elegant system! Servers listen on 6192 for requests to encode frames. Servers listen on 6193 for the master instance to ask if they want to encode some frames, and servers reply on 6194 if they do.
