Issues with transcoding failure to MP4

[Nathanio 35]

I've had a couple of failures on records recently where the show appears to have recorded but not transcoded correctly. I notice that I don't get any chapter previews and that under media info I get level -99 instead of 41 on successful ones.

Playing in VLC gives a blank video window.

If you'd like, try the beta server and see if that reacts differently. thanks.

Sorry Luke, should have mentioned that I'm running the latest beta

[Luke 37060]

that doesn't look like the latest.

[Nathanio 35]

that doesn't look like the latest.

You're right, I updated this morning. I'll check the recordings and set a few test ones

Hi Luke, 

 

3 recordings at 9pm last night ended up with 2 converted to MP4 and showing the correct media info and one failed to transcode into an MP4 format. I still have it as a TS file which is good.

 

Here is the failed transcode log:

well in that case your HDHR threw an error

[Nathanio 35]

Hi Luke, 

That's because it appears to have tried and started 3 streams on the same tuner (dual tuner models). Is that a Emby scheduling issue?

 

Attached is all the logs from yesterday

 

I can't see in the logs where it tries to fire all 3 programs at 9 and how it decides which tuner to use?

 

It has recorded all 3 programs  though?

since you're on the beta please make sure to stay on the latest. these logs are several versions ago. thanks.
