# MediaServerTimeout

The maximum amount of time that CFS should wait for Media Server to respond, in seconds.

This parameter specifies the timeout for all actions sent to Media Server, but is most likely to affect `process` actions when you set MediaAnalysisSynchronous to `TRUE`.

- When `MediaAnalysisSynchronous=FALSE` (the default value), actions are unlikely to reach the default timeout. Media Server responds to a `process` action quickly, because it adds the request to its `process` action queue and immediately returns a token. (Media Server does not need to complete its analysis before responding).
- When `MediaAnalysisSynchronous=TRUE`, Media Server does not respond to a `process` action until analysis is complete. The time required for analysis depends on the source file and the types of analysis that you configure. If Media Server does not respond before the specified timeout, the `MediaServerAnalysis` task fails and the document produced by CFS does not contain any analysis results.
