Transcode throttle not working

[PontusN 12]

Hi there!

I noticed today the throttling stopped working on some movies.

On some movies it does not throttle at all and in some it throttles at very odd time intervals.

The logs say:

>>ThrottleBySegmentRequest: Initialize - TargetBufferSize: 120s

But also during the transcode

>>ThrottleBySegmentRequest: Latest request position unknown

On the movies were it does throttle it can do so at 3:40 buffer size and not 2:00 as the goal is.

 

Server is running 4.5.2.0 on PopOS (Ubuntu) on an Intel NUC7i5BNK

 

This has not been an issue before, could easily handle several 4K HVEC streams at the same time without spinning up fans too much, now its 95c and fans at almost full speed with one stream.

Hi, yes the throttle is most likely a bit more conservative than previous releases. We'll look at adjusting it further. Thanks for the feedback.
