robcur 3 Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 (edited) I've enabled the podcast plugin in Emby server and I'm looking to download podcasts to my iPhone for long road commutes (not streaming, playing locally). It's not working for me with an RSS source that serves up a pretty mundane 128kbps MP3 file. I'm getting a ffmpeg transcoding error. My quality setting is 'Original.' Question 1) Why is it transcoding at all? iPhone will play an MP3 native, even though it prefers aac. Question 2) What is going on with the transcode job failure? Error log attached. Thanks all! embyiphonedownloaderror.txt Edited March 7, 2019 by robcur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smrippUS 0 Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Attached. Looks identical to the error I’m having. If I add say “.mp3” to the end of the output file name on the command line the operation will complete successfully. In your case @@robcur, you you paste: D:\Users\robc\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\system\ffmpeg.exe -i "https://play.podtrac.com/npr-510289/npr.mc.tritondigital.com/NPR_510289/media/anon.npr-mp3/npr/pmoney/2019/03/20190306_pmoney_pm785rerun.mp3?orgId=1&d=1518&p=510289&story=700909552&t=podcast&e=700909552&ft=pod&f=510289" -i "D:\Users\robc\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\metadata\library\33\336cfcce59927736e112d6f8feeb0a7d\poster.jpg" -map 0:a -map 1:v -c:1:v copy -threads 0 -id3v2_version 3 -write_id3v1 1 -metadata:s:v title="Album cover" -metadata:s:v comment="Cover(Front)" -y "D:\Users\robc\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\dls\8\8\1395d53e-a958-4e16-b438-14d7546b4f9a.mp3" into a CMD window, does the command complete successfully vs your original command line: D:\Users\robc\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\system\ffmpeg.exe -i "https://play.podtrac.com/npr-510289/npr.mc.tritondigital.com/NPR_510289/media/anon.npr-mp3/npr/pmoney/2019/03/20190306_pmoney_pm785rerun.mp3?orgId=1&d=1518&p=510289&story=700909552&t=podcast&e=700909552&ft=pod&f=510289" -i "D:\Users\robc\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\metadata\library\33\336cfcce59927736e112d6f8feeb0a7d\poster.jpg" -map 0:a -map 1:v -c:1:v copy -threads 0 -id3v2_version 3 -write_id3v1 1 -metadata:s:v title="Album cover" -metadata:s:v comment="Cover(Front)" -y "D:\Users\robc\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\dls\8\8\1395d53e-a958-4e16-b438-14d7546b4f9a" Seems like ffmpeg is confused. BTW, I’m experiencing the same issue using a Linux server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36884 Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Hi, is this on the latest version of the server? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smrippUS 0 Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 (edited) Yes.... and past versions.Again, it seems to be a problem of ffmpeg’s Inability to determine the file output type without the file extension being included in the command-line.However, occasionally, magically, mystically, the command will complete successfully as I periodically try the function. I’ve never pursued the issue with much effort as I use another podcast solution... I’d just “rather use Emby” as my single solution :-) (For completeness I attached a ffmpeg-transcode log) ffmpeg-transcode-c81dad60-ebe3-412e-9845-12a89e61ae92_1.txt Edited May 13, 2019 by smrippUS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36884 Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Please try again with the 4.2 release of Emby Server, once it is available, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
