Does awcy supports MXF?

[tarun-discovery]

Hi, I was trying to generate results against MXF file
Q1) I was able to get it to read MXF but then workers never picked it up, i get following logs

I also tried to directly run it through x264 and saw it x264 works on it

Right,

1. Is your workers working for normal files and normal awcy tasks as expected?

It really depends on how you config the codecs encode/decode paramters in the rd_tool, you might require to add support to rd_tool's encoding mechanism, if the codec you supplied supports it, and if it that binary is present inside slotX\$codec, and then it should work properly, Natively it uses x264 binary, and then YUV2YUV4MPEG to decode the encoded files from x264.

Can you see the encoded files present there? The logs says, error in decoding, did you modify the $codec's decoding parameter of yours? If not, I would try to do that first.
