emby/config/transcoding-temp/filename.ts keeps growing in size

[Eddie 12]

I have a freshly installed emby container running inside of docker

Docker version 23.0.4, build f480fb1e37

 OS: Manjaro 22.1.3 Talos

Kernel: x86_64 Linux 6.2.16-1-MANJARO

Emby Server Version 4.7.13.0

 

 

There is a single file inside of emby/config/transcoding-temp/

called 60c9f5aad8d9426f9dd7ba4a6d564c0c.ts

and it continues to grow in size for the last couple days, its at 40 gigs right now and growing 

 

Is there a normal purge that happens every day or so?

The word 'randomfilename' does not exist anywhere in the Emby Server code. Either it's coming from a plugin but otherwise it appears very suspicious to me.

What happens when you restart Emby Server?

Can you post a list of the files in your plugins folder?

sorry i was just trying to make the name shorter but the actual name is

60c9f5aad8d9426f9dd7ba4a6d564c0c.ts and its 41.8 Gigs now

@Eddie
Could you post your embyserver log file (Log menu) for us to take a look at?
 

[softworkz 5066]

Neither a forum search for 'randomfilename' nor a Google search (verbatim search in combination with emby) does return a single result (besides this conversation).

Is  the spelling you posted precise?

Alright, thanks for the clarification.

Is there any ffmpeg process running? (in case you haven't restarted the server yet)

[Eddie 12]

Here you go, ty for the quick response

Hm, none of the logs is mentioning that file name.

Can you please check whether there's perhaps some ffmpeg zombie process still active?

[Eddie 12]

I have a lot more logs in my log section 

and this is all i found in htop

im not that good with htop but i did sort by > command 

and searched for ffmpeg but thats all i found

Ill restart the server tomorrow in the am and let you know if anything has changed

I have terrabytes of space so we will see what its like in the am but its still growing

Well, I can see a lot of ffmpeg processes there, one is consuming CPU cycles.

Can't you restart right now?

Not necessarily the server machine - rather:

• shut down emby server
• make sure no emby and no ffmpeg processes are running (kill all)
• start emby server

I restarted the docker container and the cache cleared automatically, i tend to update weekly so this shouldnt be an issue

ty for your help
