Encode servers

[TooManyMichaesl]

I have 4 machines on my network running the encoding server software, and when I look in actual DCP o matic in preferences at the encoding servers, I can see them listed, but then in the batch converter, it lists no encoding servers, and is not using anything besides the local machine. I did update all the encoding servers to 2.16.62, as well as the batch converter. Any idea what could be causing this issue or what I can do to troubleshoot?

Odd, does it use the encoding servers if you run a job in the "normal" DCP-o-matic (i.e. not the batch converter?)

If you use the batch converter in the background, and dcp-o-matic in the foreground preparing jobs, it may be that DCP-o-matic main will assign all encoding servers to itself, so batch converter can not use them. You may need to quit DCP-o-matic before you start batch converter, or set DCP-o-matic to not use encoding servers.

I haven't checked this behaviour with recent versions, but that could be the reason.
