Beginning with the installation of the defunct v8.6.2, my Background Render Service is malfunctioning. I went thru v8.6.3; and, now v8.6.4 and the problem persists.
The Background Render arrows go green when I start Media Composer. The little circle icon above the timeline is also green when MC starts. After a short period of time, the green circle turns grey. Checking the status shows that BGS has not started, despite the fact that the arrows stay green.
Sending a transcode to BGS, which takes quite a while to start rendering, still works as expected, however, the green circle icon stays gray and does not show progress the way it used to do before v8.6.2.
Is anyone else expereincing a malfunctioning of BGS? Has anyone else found a fix?
