Re: [dvd::rip] cluster mode problem: tries to merge 2nd audio track before encoding it

["Triffid Hunter" <triffid_hunter@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I had a look in the cluster master's project file. A job had its state set  
to finished, even though a child node wasn't finished.

The job started exhibiting this effect when a child job was sent to a node  
which didn't have oggenc yet.

Manually changing the job's status to waiting (and restarting the cluster  
master) seems to have got the ball rolling nicely, encoding audio before  
trying to merge it.

Perhaps a consistency check of the jobs' states and output files button  
would be good, in case things go pear shaped as they do sometimes
