Happy2Play 8252 Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 sorry, it was disabled.. here's the log with throttle enabled in transcoding section Does this only happen on transcoded hevc content?

Bazzu85 21 Posted April 8, 2020 Author Share Posted April 8, 2020 here's a log of a transcode from an XVID file.. ffmpeg-transcode-ef3f9578-f122-4c92-9e75-32126c64cb60_1.txt I started plya the file and pressed pause.. at the beginning emby says throttle off: after a while throttle is active: I made the same test with the movie HEVC and throttle remains off at the beginning: after a while is active: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neik 835 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 The throttle stays off until the buffer is filled and only then it activates the throttle. So, until the buffer isn't filled the throttle will stay off in the dashboard. Depending on the transcoding speed this happens quite fast or takes some time. Looking at the snippet in Happy2Play's post, it would probably take a while for that file as it is transcoding slower than realtime speed (speed <1). From your screenshots everything looks normal to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazzu85 21 Posted April 14, 2020 Author Share Posted April 14, 2020 Why did you think something was wrong? because when starting playing a movie I always see throttle off. After a while I noticed that throttle became ON and @@neik explained me why.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thidsa 12 Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 (edited) I see this also from remote user. Cant say if its always like that, but have seen it a few times. This episode was transcoding in whole with throttle off, even with playback paused. i know it should be posted in test but... ffmpeg-transcode-3814d76c-6e42-494a-a83e-0a2718fd4ada_1.txt Edited February 5, 2021 by Thidsa f Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbjtech 4223 Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 It's actually a little confusing I agree .. Throttle Off = CPU ON Throttle Active = CPU OFF Personally I would like to see this changed to something like 'Transcoding : Active' and 'Transcoding : Paused' - as that makes more logical sense.

Q-Droid 634 Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 (edited) Known issue with Chromecast, throttle doesn't "activate" and transcodes the whole thing without pausing. Edited February 5, 2021 by Q-Droid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlo 4330 Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 That pic looks correct. If throttle is off you're telling it to not throttle or stop and just convert the whole thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If throttle is off you're telling it to not throttle or stop and just convert the whole thing. But per the log >> ThrottleBySegmentRequest: Initialize - TargetBufferSize: 120s >> ThrottleBySegmentRequest: Latest request position unknown But as mentioned there is a issue with Chromecast, will see if I can find the other topic.

Carlo 4330 Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 From the quick peak at the log I didn't see throttle kicking in and it showed throttle off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the log shows it enabled, but is not receiving the client info to make it work. Here is a previous topic but still doesn't truly explain the cause. Transcode Throttle appears to be broken - General/Windows - Emby Community Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4330 Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 (edited) Sorry guys, my bad. I read "This episode was transcoding in whole with throttle off, even with playback paused." as meaning the throttle setting was turned off. I'll take a fresh look. Thanks you! EDIT: Looks like Q-Droid gave the reason correct? Edited February 5, 2021 by cayars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thidsa 12 Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 yes, im sure hes right. I think ive only seen this with chromecast.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
