Enable the debug mode
Set this environment variable to get more logging output: export DASELEMENT_LOG_LEVEL=debug

Example:
export CURRENT_PROJECT=awesome_project
export DASELEMENT_CONFIG_PATH=/mnt/server/{CURRENT_PROJECT}/config/das-element.conf

main
additional
main proxies
main proxies - extra template
additional proxies
additional proxies - extra template
For each Transcoding Task the tasks will executed in the order from top to bottom:
You can control with the Template Steps (template_step) if a certain template is execute for the template step. Either execute proxy/extra templates the ‘main' template, the 'additional’ template or for both.
