All good. Back online - Probably just the server thing Linus mentioned. Didn't expect it to take over 8 hours to start a work unit! Happy folding fellow quarantinees.

I think this may have happened. I have been folding for a few day since I heard that I could.. Since watching the LTT video I switched my team to LTT and nothing has computed ever since. Thoughts? I have 2 machines running on this by the way on two different networks and different locations geographically.. I also took LTT's advice and created a passkey - Could this be the issue preventing any folding from happening?

I did read that post, but I'm still unsure why we can't utilize all the CPU cores to perform the task. Why can't media encoder prefetch several frames, decode/encode on multiple threads doing several frames at a time instead of "waiting" for a frame? Or am I misinterpreting the response?

We just tested a transcode from Phantom4 Pro 4k H264 to Cineform 4k on 3 different machines in the office. 4790k 4c/8t 4ghz was the fastest. 8c/16t 3.6ghz Ryzen 1800x next fastest. Xeon 24c/56t 2.2ghz slowest. What?! How do we get AME (Adobe Media Encoder) to use all available resources so we can offload transcoding to the most powerful machine? We are looking to invest in a dual AMD 7401 server for 3D rendering and I was hoping to use it to transcode also. With 96 threads it should blow through this, but our finding is that AME prefers clock speed over cores. Any thoughts or help appreciated. Willing to use alternative software as long as we can still use Cineform.
