dyecast 5 Posted May 23, 2020 Posted May 23, 2020 1) Server is a new build with data transferred over from the old server completed yesterday. 2) I've set the file system permissions on the Emby media folder and subfolder to 777. 3) The former Windows 10 PC can do this without incident. I'm trying to convert my existing media to other formats and bandwidths as DirectPlan on my LAN is almost always terrible. The conversion always fails. I'm not seeing even the attempt in the logs no any errors in the logs, but it wouldn't surprise me if this wasn't a permission issue. Is there a particular log file I can pull to get additional details?
dyecast 5 Posted May 24, 2020 Author Posted May 24, 2020 I take that back...Windows instance is having the same issue.
Luke 40082 Posted May 24, 2020 Posted May 24, 2020 Hi there, can we please look at an example? Please attach the information requested in how to report a problem. thanks !
dyecast 5 Posted May 24, 2020 Author Posted May 24, 2020 (edited) See attachments and screenshots. I'm doing this from my Brave browser on Win10 B1909. I get the same results doing it from FF on the same PC. I tried this with Three Amigos. HOWEVER!!! When I do the same steps from the Emby app on my iPhone, it seems to go through. I tried this with the movie Brave. Now I get two entries for the same movie. See attached screenshots. It's a double issue now. All-Logs.zip Edited May 24, 2020 by dyecast
Luke 40082 Posted May 24, 2020 Posted May 24, 2020 So you're saying the issue is limited to when using Brave?
dyecast 5 Posted May 24, 2020 Author Posted May 24, 2020 It would seem so. Brave and FF. I'm thinking it might be my PC overall. The end goal is to create multiple bitrate files per video.
Luke 40082 Posted May 25, 2020 Posted May 25, 2020 Would you mind trying our online web app: http://app.emby.media How does that compare?
dyecast 5 Posted May 25, 2020 Author Posted May 25, 2020 I'm not interested in joining the Emby Connect feature. I prefer direct connections.
Luke 40082 Posted May 25, 2020 Posted May 25, 2020 The hosted web app does not require Emby Connect and it still provides a direct connection to your server.
dyecast 5 Posted May 26, 2020 Author Posted May 26, 2020 I'm confused. It looks like I'm signing up for Emby Connect. I don't presently have a login. What/how am I testing?
dyecast 5 Posted May 26, 2020 Author Posted May 26, 2020 I get it now..Duh! I used the online website and logged in successfully. Conversion failed instantly still.
Luke 40082 Posted June 2, 2020 Posted June 2, 2020 We're still looking into it. Thanks for reporting.
Luke 40082 Posted July 6, 2020 Posted July 6, 2020 @dyecast I'm not able to reproduce this anymore, however, I can reproduce something that might cause you to think something is wrong. If you select a file for conversion, and the source file already matches the criteria that you're converting to, then it ends up showing as failed. Essentially the conversion gets skipped because there's nothing to do, and the failure message is erroneous. Is this what you're running into?
dyecast 5 Posted July 12, 2020 Author Posted July 12, 2020 No. I'm converting from a much higher bit rate file down into several lower bit rate files in both Mobile and TV formats. As a side and possibly related note, I'm constantly having issues with a video file is being steamed Directly Plan on my LAN with both devices connected via short CAT6 cables. Little odd. If I force a bitrate or quality anything other than Direct Play, it will work okay.

Luke 40082 Posted July 15, 2020 Posted July 15, 2020 Quote I'm converting from a much higher bit rate file down into several lower bit rate files in both Mobile and TV formats. But you didn't do that because in your screenshot above you've selected original quality.
dyecast 5 Posted July 16, 2020 Author Posted July 16, 2020 I've tried Original, Mobile and TV with various bandwidths.

Luke 40082 Posted July 20, 2020 Posted July 20, 2020 I'm just commenting based on the example that you showed me. Can we look at an example where you specified a quality?
