Leinad86 4 Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 (edited) Hello everyone, I have exactly the same problem. Some users report that films/series start to buffer shortly after starting. The strange thing is that sometimes the problems occur and sometimes they don't. Yesterday evening I was able to recreate the problem after a report from a user, and this morning the series is running without any problems. If you play the film/series without transcoding there are no problems. What I also noticed is that when you look on the dashboard, the orange bar for the transcoding progress is completely filled! Attach 2 logs and 2 pictures. It also started for me after I updated to Emby 4.8.1.0. Unraid 6.12.6 Emby 4.8.3.0 Transkoding Temp is a NVME GPU RTX 4000 Ryzen 5700x 64GB Ram Many thanks in advance embyserver-63845566167.txt ffmpeg-transcode-17dc4851-90e1-47bd-a226-3b4b9a050e95_1.txt ffmpeg-transcode-4683450c-5ea8-4de7-b94f-791fa2d3d996_1.txt Edited March 9 by Leinad86 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37066 Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 @Leinad86that'd odd. can you try setting the transcode temp folder back to default and see how things compare? thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leinad86 4 Posted March 9 Author Share Posted March 9 Hi Luke, thanks for the quick reply. I deleted everything in the transcoding settings, it should just be default. Unfortunately the same. 08:14:24.113 Too many packets buffered for output stream 1:1. 08:14:24.133 [libmp3lame @ 0x1154080] 3 frames left in the queue on closing 08:14:24.256 Conversion failed! 08:14:24.256 EXIT The orange bar on the dashboard is complete again. It's just strange that the series runs without buffering! That's what I mean, sometimes it doesn't buffer! ffmpeg-transcode-28be56e6-f34f-4bf7-9e61-047f4d8ed093_1.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoLarsson 19 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Try disabling hardware transcoding. It's not a good fix but it's worth a try. I have some weird intermittent buffering issues and subtitle issues that only appears when using hardware transcoding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leinad86 4 Posted March 12 Author Share Posted March 12 Since the update to 4.8.1 everything has been strange! I've tried turning off HW. Unfortunately the result is the same.

Leinad86 4 Posted March 12 Author Share Posted March 12 I have now loaded the Emby Server Beta Docker from Unraid. Quickly set up and the films that don't run with normal Docker work wonderfully here. I'm attaching two more logs. Each from the two servers. Both run on the same hardware. I still have to test the series that doesn't work. Now the question for me is whether I should switch my main Emby installation to beta! Or is there a fix coming soon? ffmpeg-transcode-d7906b7e-abff-4652-895a-fa7e8e0a7e63_1.txt ffmpeg-transcode-a3476fcc-7572-468a-85a1-6211de9f6e04_1.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leinad86 4 Posted March 19 Author Share Posted March 19 (edited) I have now installed Emby 4.7.14.0 as a test. Can someone tell me why HW transcoding works without problems here and not in 4.8.3.0? What can I do to make it work again without problems? It doesn't happen in every film, just in some. The same with series. And whenever a problem arises, the transcoding progress display on the dashboard jumps to full. Sometimes the film continues to run without any problems and sometimes it starts to buffer. The same thing happens with different films/series. Unfortunately I don't see any pattern. The logs always look the same. Do you need more?

visproduction 122 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Related: https://superuser.com/questions/1315664/why-ffmpeg-increases-file-size Slight changes either in Emby encoding settings or how ffmpeg makes lossy copies of already lossy media can cause Invalid NAL unit size. Some encoding issues in a video may cause ffmpeg to not handle encoding at the preferred user setting and then automatically changing the encoding to a lower quality to compensate may also fail on media that has prerecorded encoding issues. The best way to rule out such encoding issues is to use a test video and not rely on random encoded videos. --- Related issue solved: https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/11268 Quote lavara123 commented on Feb 11, 2023 Do you get the same error if you use https instead of http?

Happy2Play 8282 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 (edited) Devs will have to analyze that file but would assume there is something wrong with the encoding as I get no "RequestPosition". Could be to small of a clip though. Reprocess clip and throttle was not able to kick in on such a short file.
