transcoding-temp deletion very aggressive

[jn441 0]

While transcoding a movie Emby seems to be aggressive in deleting the temporary files.

Even though I am sending regular  /Sessions/Playing/Progress to keep the playback session alive, all of the temporary files disappear when ffmpeg is done outputting them.

It's pretty evident for me when transcoding a file that is a minute long...the files are deleted before I can even finish playing them.

So my real question is does anyone know the conditions under which Emby deletes temporary files? Thanks

Also I know it's something I'm doing because the web client's session does not get deleted.

I believe it could be as simple as not sending the proper session id + play session id combination to the /Session endpoints.

I made sure all requests with PlaySessionId also included the correct SessionId. No difference, as soon as it's done transcoding the files are deleted, even though I am sending progress requests.

I don't believe this is an Emby problem.

Apple's media services are crashing because the remuxed HLS segments are just too large and it is getting a memory exception. So I am left with either replacing the video player to direct play, or forcing a lower bandwidth to transcode the video and losing Dolby Vision.
