Multiple instances of FFMPEG


Recommended Posts

Posted

I searched this issue and found several instances going back to 2014 but nothing recent.  However when I'm using emby it is always with Roku on my local lan.  I'm getting buffering issues and when I check my server there are multiple instances of FFmpeg running.  I'm running emby version 4.6.7.  If I close all ffmpeg instances and start the video up again the issue goes away.  This is not file or video dependent, it is actually fairly random.

Hi. Make sure you do not exit playback in the app by using the remote "Home" button.  That has the potential to strand streams because it just kills the app with no warning.

Also, this situation should be improved with the next server release.

Thanks.

If that's not what's happening, can we please look at an example? Thanks.

It could very well be, my kids have a habit of hitting home when they're done.

 

What kind of info do you need to dig into this issue?

A server and any ffmpeg logs from when this happens.  Thanks.

ETA:  Getting the kids to change their habits seems to have eliminated the issue.

Okay, good.  The upcoming server 4.7 should hopefully eliminate the issue when the kids do that.

Thanks.

Reviving this topic.  the multiple versions of ffmpeg.exe continue to occur.  I've tried to recreate what is causing this but can't nail it down.  The downside is after 3 or 4 instances of this running the service cpu maxes out at 100% and I have to manually kill the processes.

Hi, are you able to update to Emby Server 4.7.6?

I believe so. If you still have an issue then we'll have to look closer at it. Please provide an exact set of steps to create the problem. Thanks.
