Dear Users / Support Staff,
I wanted to implement a way to allow our video cutting personal to access the centralized rendering machine, when I noticed the ame_webservice_console.exe and AMEWebService.exe. Unfortunately, I am unable to find any sort documentation, tutorials and I only found only one other topic even mentioning the files. Long story short, I was able to initialize the system and to install the AMEWebService via "AMEWebService.exe -install" (again - NO helpfile / docs / hints) and executing "ame_webservice_console.exe" successfully started AME and a (more or less) useless web server on port 8080.
The afformentioned web server always redirected me to "/ameservice/console.html" which displayed "404 Not Found" or "501 Not Implemented" (only tried default GET Requests).
Debugging the provided DLLs and Exe files revealed that it should provide lots and lots of features ranging from starting and stoping the encoding processes to gathering status information and task histories - but I simply can't get it to work.
Even though a messaged suggested to add "--help" to the ame_webservice_console.exe did not help either.
Does ANYONE know ANYTHING about this? API, SDK, ... does not matter.
I would kindly appreciate any help, tips, and suggestions!
I am working with a VM and a fresh installation of MS Windows 10 Enterprise and Adobe Media Encoder CC 15 with all recent updates and tried it with both elevated user rights and as a default user.
Thank you very much in advance,
Jörn
