Hi,

We are getting further with the setup of our matterhorn infrastructure, and so far most things work and we are almost ready to launch the 1.2 version. However the problem with the text extraction is still there and I haven't found a solution so far. I did find the reason why the text extraction fails, the tif file generated for text extraction is most of the time a blank grey image, always the same file size and solid grey. Once in a while there is a correct tif file generated and the text extraction is fine then.

I don't see a clear connection between the successful tif files and the failed ( it's a ratio of about 1/10 tif's are correct ) ones.

Is anyone else experiencing these problems and found a solution ?

Thanks

I'm having some issues with the text extraction with our fresh 1.2
installation.
I keep getting the following error:

This error is repeated a number of times in the log. The text extraction
does not fail for every image, just for some images, but as a result the
recording
has the status failed with following error :

org.opencastproject.workflow.api.WorkflowOperationException:

These are tests with manually uploaded files, not sure if this could be
a factor why it fails?

Thanks
