[Nathanio 35]

Hi Guys, 

Come across a simple SD channel recording that won't playback via webapp for some reason.

 

Here is the transcoding log:

Not sure why it's struggling with it. Plays back HD channel recordings fine. 

 

Causing FFMPEG to run to 100% on the server when it starts. I get the programme background but no video starts. 

 

EDIT: Server Version 3.2.5.7 beta and Chrome. Plays video back in edge but no audio.

It looks like you've enabled recording to mp4 while preserving original video. mpeg2video inside an mp4 container is not very common. i wonder if there's just some kind of issue that ffmpeg might be having with it. Can you either allow video conversion or switch the container to mkv? See if that makes a difference. thanks.

Hi Luke,

 

I think I selected the preserve audio and video when we had some issues with recording a while ago. I'll disable and check again.

 

I'll leave as mp4 for the time being

 

Thanks

Thanks for the tip @@Luke, that seemed to work great

[Luke 37110]

Thanks for confirming.
