conversion or download to failed on 9GB file

[Rianscott 1]

Hi Guys,

I have a problem converting large ts files. I record the children's channel for 8 hours so I can convert it and play it for the kids on long journeys in the campervan. I have to convert the files manually with a separate piece of software because Emby always fails on these large files (it always works on single episodes) Is such a file size beyond the capabilities of Emby or do I have something set up wrong? I have just created a new server, thinking the problem was the low spec laptop it was running on but the new server still fails. 

It never even shows on the dashboard so I can only presume it doesn't even try to convert it.

 

Only an emby log attached because  ffmpeg doesnt create one for the failed files, only for the successful ones.

 

Thanks in advance

Hi, I don't see any conversion jobs running. Did you setup a conversion job on this file?

ive just tried another one recorded today and this one actually produced a ffmpeg file so that might be helpful

Hi, if you use the mkv profile instead of mp4, how does that compare?

Ive Just tried that and the result appears to be the same from my side of things..

Hi @Rianscott, try setting your custom options back to default:

>>>>>  Non-Default Encoder Parameters
Warning EncoderParametersH264LibX.Preset: Original: veryfast Actual: fast
Warning EncoderParametersH264LibX.ConstantRateFactor: Original: 23 Actual: 20

Also have you updated to Emby Server 4.7.2?
