Switch between local and remote jobs?

Hi!

Currently I am running vod transcoding jobs locally.
I want to introduce remote runners. The documentation goes:

When the remote runners option is enabled for a particular task, PeerTube stops to process the jobs locally and wait for a remote runner to request, accept and process them. The runner finally post the job result to PeerTube.

Of course I also need to turn on Enable remote runners for VOD option (if using the browser client).

Does this mean if all of my remote runners crash and won’t take up job requests the transcoding won’t ever start and it can’t default back to the previous local transcoding job?

I wouldn’t say it is a problem for me, only I want to clarify, because in this case I’ll probably need initially a feature flag for my platform.

Yes, if no runner is able to pick the job then the transcoding job will remain in the « Waiting Â» state.

Thanks for the clarification!
