Versions of main program vs. encoding servers

Post by Anders M Olsson »

Let's say that I upgrade the main station to the latest test version, do I have to upgrade all the encoding servers to the exact same version as well, or can they be different versions?

Also, is there a way to read the version of DOM when only the encoding server has been installed, not the main programme?

(I run Windows 10 right now on all my computers. The last time I tried, the Server Live Image failed to start.)

DCP-o-matic has some code to detect critical mismatches between Master/GUI and encoding servers. But in general, it is better to keep both at the same version.

Yes, it would be a useful feature if the encoding server would display it's version number, and also if the encoding server version number could be indicated in the DOM Master GUI encoding server overview, maybe in green for 'matching version' and red for 'mismatch'.

Sure this is not too much work for Carl.

Or is it, Carl? 8-)

Should be possible, I've added it to Mantis.
