jaketame 30 Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 (edited) I can't seem to find anything relating to throttling transcoding / remux? Problem: 4K Transcoding / Remux - It uses a lot of space thus drives are filling up based on transcoding settings at the moment as Emby is transcoding the whole file, thus with a 4K remux / transcode this could be 60GB and multiple this if you have multiple users.Remuxing seems to cause problems event when its out remuxing audio / container as it will fill up the disk. Fix: Ability to throttle transcoding to be 5-10 minutes ahead of current time Edited June 22, 2018 by jaketame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaketame 30 Posted June 28, 2018 Author Share Posted June 28, 2018 Anything on this or did I miss some history? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 12979 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 The history is we used to try to do this and it didn't work very well. The tools we use for transcoding don't really provide any way to accomplish this goal. Always possible we can revisit it though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Def think this should be a core future, especially in larger deployments of Emby and even more so with 4K content becoming more mainstream... Are there any workarounds? Filesystem hacks? I tried putting transcode into /dev/shm but this just causes system to halt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 30160 Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 ffmpeg doesn't have any kind of api for this so it would require us to add these features to it ourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 30160 Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 It's doable but yes it would be a bit of an effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
