hi, guys, i've been asked to help with x264farm setup...
and i'm on the new pcBox ... so i had some time.. to just test everything from the scratch or something like this...

fullPicture is here
the Picture shows win Vista SP1 x64 ... with two running agents.
one from commandline, - this one is doing controller-based
second started over the network through my agentGUI. - this one is agent-based
they both use nice at 20,
and mingw compiled x264 x86 r928 from b0bor's site .. (plain git)
no x264x64 (i havent found one x64 for now)
aviSynth 258.. but x86

test encode uses mpeg2-progressive source, mpeg2-Telecined with YATTA, x264-source form HDTVstream using DGAVCDec..

to get all thing working i needed to (this is imporatnt) set nice's compatibility mode to winXP-SP2 ... otherwise the whole thig was not working.. (but only for agents...)

and.. UNBLOK controller and agents in winFirewall !!!

and that's just it ...
any questions are welcome ....
(i guess, i should better show the meGUI-Mod.. but it is still unusable... (well, the new version))

controller's config.xml

<config>
<temp>controller-temp</temp>
<!-- Some directory for storing temp data -->
<adhoc controller="40700" agent="40701"/>
<agents>
</agents>
</config>

agent's config (the command-line controller-based one):

<config>
        <temp>temp</temp>
        <port from="40700" to="40701"/>
        <x264>x264.exe</x264>
        <nice>20</nice>
        <adhoc controller="40700" agent="40701"/>
        <number>1</number>
        <agentpipe>0</agentpipe>
        <compression>
                <type>1</type>
                <type>0</type>
        </compression>
</config>

angent's config (the one that is common and is started over the network with my agentGUI (it can be started the same way using "\\myPC\x264farm\!AGENT\agent.exe --config \\myPC\x264farm\!AGENT\config.xml")):

<config>

        <temp>temp</temp>
        <port from="40700" to="40701"/>
        <x264>\\myPC\x264farm\!AGENT\x264.exe</x264>
        <nice>20</nice>
        <bases>
                <base>\\myPC\x264farm-2\</base>
                <base>\\myPC\x264farm\</base>
        </bases>
        <adhoc controller="40700" agent="40701"/>
        <number>1</number>
        <agentpipe>0</agentpipe>
        <compression>
                <type>1</type>
                <type>0</type>
        </compression>
</config>

aviSynth filters are located here

localPath: E:\DVDRIP\x264farm\TEST\filters\
networkPath: \\myPC\x264farm\TEST\filters

basically.. my setUP is to use network-share:

localPath: E:\DVDRIP\x264farm
networkPath: \\myPC\x264farm

for my agentGUI i use common agent setUP located here:

local: E:\DVDRIP\x264farm\!AGENT
network: \\myPC\x264farm\!AGENT

that's i folk ... it's pretty simple...

the some kind of minimal setUP can be obtained form here

winAMP plays: [Apex - Same Old Blues]:[Drum & Bass-2008]:-:[5:40s]:[320-44KHz-stereo]:[MP3]

BTW: if you find any confidential data in things, that i wrote here .. please.. DON'T USE IT.. and tell me about it..
some mistakes can be.. that "myPC" real network name is "SC0151" remember that...
