Conversion tasks are failing in ffmpeg for recorded shows...any ideas?

[jlficken 3]

I have the Recording library set up with a Conversion task to make them all MP4's but they seem to be failing.

I have attached a log but I'm not sure what the actual problem is.

Hi, you customized some server transcoding settings. Try setting these back to default and see if that helps:

Warning EncoderParametersH264LibX.ConstantRateFactor: Original: 23 Actual: 18
Warning EncoderParametersH264LibX.Preset: Original: veryfast Actual: veryslow

Didn't seem to make a difference.

I can get you a copy of one of the videos of you want it?

 

They are coming from a SiliconDust HDHomerun Quadro.

Hi, can you take a screen shot or two of your TRANSCODING setup screen?

Can't actually read it as the things are to small.

Can you try something.  Turn off Hardware transcoding so it's using CPU and try a test conversion on a file and let's see what happens.

Did you click on the image as it seems plenty big enough to read to me?

Also, I tried it with Hardware Transcoding disabled and it still failed.  Log attached...

Also, could you request that the Convert screen close once you click on the "Convert" button as right now it just stays open and doesn't give any confirmation that the conversion job has been set up.  I've had people create 10 of the same conversion jobs because there's no confirmation.

As a test, you could try turning off hardware transcoding and see if that helps.

Tried that.  The log is in the post above yours.

Here's the latest attempt with hardware transcoding off and transcoding settings restored to defaults.

Could this line have anything to do with it?

or 13:17:14.415 Too many packets buffered for output stream 0:1.

@softworkz do you have any insight on this?

Yeah that's the one that I initially suspected but I saw the other error as well.

Here are the 2 files that I've been testing with.

The links will work until 12/17/2020.

No problem.

 

Give me 5 minutes.

@Luke

 

Just wanted to make sure you got the files downloaded?

[Luke 40079]

I'm sorry I missed them again. Are you still running into this with Emby Server 4.5.4?

[Luke 40079]

@jlficken can you please try this with Emby Server 4.6.3? Please let us know if this resolves the issue. Thanks !

[softworkz 4569]

@jlficken - The latest Emby Server Beta includes a new and updated ffmpeg where the error you were experiencing should finally be fixed.

If you don't mind trying a beta version, you could download Beta 4.7.0.6 (or later) and check whether it works for you.

Thanks,
sw
