Hello, I hope there is someone who can help me with this error as it is driving us nuts. With a random set of files, mostly bigger files in the order of 200+ of MB, IIS Transform Manager throws this error and fails the second task.

The task I am talking about is the default MMPCM.Jobs.FileImport from the MMPCM package. In general all files under 100 MB finish successfully but some fail as well. The video files are MP4 format and we have tried both encoding types, VC-1 and H.264.

The following events/errors occur in the Event Viewer, in order:

Task.Start failed for task index: 2. (This is the MMPCM Hosting Msg task)

System.InvalidOperationException: Process must exit before requested information can be determined

at System.Diagnostics.Process.EnsureState(State state) at System.Diagnostics.Process.get_ExitCode() at Microsoft.MediaPlatform.ContentManager.TransformManager.Tasks.HostMsgTask.ProcessXCopy(String arguments) at Microsoft.MediaPlatform.ContentManager.TransformManager.Tasks.HostMsgTask.CopyFiles(String origin, String destination) at Microsoft.MediaPlatform.ContentManager.TransformManager.Tasks.HostMsgTask.CreateMessage() at Microsoft.MediaPlatform.ContentManager.TransformManager.Tasks.HostMsgTask.Start() at Microsoft.Web.Media.TransformManager.Wrapper.RunTaskCode(TaskStatus taskStatus, JobMetadata metadata, Logger logger, ITask task, Int32 taskIndex)

Last task result: -2147467259

After that, even if we resubmit the task, it still fails. The video file is completely encoded to the Smooth Streaming format, just that the rest of the tasks are not finished - SharePoint assets creation and moving files to origin share.

Is there anyone able to point in the right direction? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
