Spaceboy 2493 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Hi, i've noticed from my first 2 days of heavier usage of live tv through m3u that overlapping recordings consistently don't run to full length. its difficult to tell exactly when they start and finish because this info is a bit lacking in emby. what i can see is the second recording fails after 5 mins or so and then starts again immediately. it doesnt matter whether the recordings are on the same channels or different channels. i should be able to have up to 6 concurrent streams and i have tested 2. happy to pm logs on request Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaceboy 2493 Posted March 22, 2017 Author Share Posted March 22, 2017 Hi, So here was last nights recordings: we had: eastenders 1930-2000 Holby City 2000-2100 Eastenders 2100-2130 Would I Lie to You 2130-2200 i am pm'ing you both a link to the log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maegibbons 1267 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 So What were the lengtrhs of each of the segments? Do you transcode on record? Or is it straight streamcopy to .ts? Krs Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maegibbons 1267 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Ok so a quick mooch at the logs show ffmpeg exiting a few minutes after start. So you need to grab the ffmpeg logs for the full time period as well. I had problems (different to yours) when trying to transcode on record. For kicks I would suggest turning that option off and see if you still get problems with a basic streamcopy. (thats currently how i run) Krs Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceboy 2493 Posted March 23, 2017 Author Share Posted March 23, 2017 yes i am attempting to convert on the fly and retain both audio and video. converting to mkv lets pick one example: eastenders should have ran from 1930-2000 and immediately followed emmerdale which was on 1900-1930 the first recording seems to be about 5 mins long, the second, 29mins long ffmpeg logs sent, i will try turning off all conversion for tonight and see if this makes a difference thanks!

Spaceboy 2493 Posted March 24, 2017 Author Share Posted March 24, 2017 so lets bring the conversation back here, its more useful for other people to see it. @@Luke, your view is that despite this happening with every single overlapping recording, where its always the following recording that is affected, your view is that its the stream that emby is receiving and not emby itself? and the fact that it doesnt happen when the recording doesn't overlap, or when the stream copy option is disabled is that its just a coincidence? how many instances of this do you need to see before coincidence become causality?

Spaceboy 2493 Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share Posted March 29, 2017 (edited) Ok we could be getting closer! Could you run another test with either and or both turned on? If not I can do some further testing of my own when I'm back in the uk. Difficult to do it all on an iPhone! [emoji1] Meant to add, is there a proper explanation of why preserving audio and video is a good or bad idea anywhere?

CBers 6766 Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Having Preserve original audio when converting recordings (when possible) option on previously, has caused multiple small files to be created, hence why they're both off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
