Conversion is making mulitple copies of the same file in directory

[csmithjr87 2]

Hi,

I set up a conversion rule on my movies library, to convert to "original media folder, next to original files" and when I checked on the status I noticed that the conversion is making 31 additional copies of the same file in the directory.  Screenshots attached.  Any ideas on what's going on?  Screenshots, server log, and ffmpeg logs are attached.

Server is running on Windows pc, libraries reside on readyNAS, being accessed from linux laptop.

I checked the files - they are all duplicates of the original media.  They are also seemingly not following the conversion settings - I set for 2.5MBps and these are maxing out at maybe 250-300kbps bitrate.

Forgot - my steps to start this are

On the home screen, click the 3-dot menu on "Movies", select "Convert" then set the parameters "original folder, next to original files", "TV', "Custom" bitrate, "2.5Mbps" bitrate, "Automatically convert new content"

Hi, I think this shouldn't happen anymore in the upcoming 4.8 server release if you'd like to try the beta. Thanks.

Thanks Luke, I'll give the beta a try sometime this week and see what happens.  Worse case, I get to make the case to the wife that we NEED a more powerful server instead of maintaining 2 sets of libraries!

@csmithjr87Did you find a solution? I still got the same problem...

Hey, no, I ended up setting up a dedicated server for my 2 remote users which can handle multiple transcodes instead of maintaining multiple libraries.  Sorry!
