Hi Adam,

Yes, it's not great, I agree.
I'd hope it would be possible to set it only in
one place, preferably on the server side. The main encoder could ask how many threads are
set up, and act accordingly.
The main encoder would only need to know the IP-addresses of the servers. This would also
make it possible to change number of threads used on a server on-the-fly
without restarting the main encoder.
Indeed. I'll get around to that at some point ...
Is there a limitation on number of servers? If so, how
many and why? Couldn't find this in the manual.
There's no artificial limit. At some point, the controlling machine will
probably run out of RAM from queueing the frames up for its servers.
There's one guy using (I think) 50 or so cores over 7 servers with some
success (although I think he's hitting a bug in DVD-o-matic which we
haven't got to the bottom of yet).
Best
Carl
