Conversions default "temporary file path"

[sfatula 207]

I have some conversions running in docker container, and, I'd like to know if you do not fill in the temporary file path, where does the work take place? I looked in temporary folders, they are not there. Transcoding folder, not there. What is the file path used by default? 

This will tell me if I care and if I want to assign a different path. If it's within the docker container somewhere, that's actually perfect.

Have looked at the transcode file for a conversion?

But looks like the sync folder

23:47:15.707 Stream mapping:
23:47:15.708   Stream #0:0 (h264_qsv) -> vpp_qsv:default (graph 0)
23:47:15.708   vpp_qsv:default (graph 0) -> Stream #0:0 (h264_qsv)
23:47:15.708   Stream #0:2 -> #0:1 (dts (dca) -> aac (native))
23:47:15.708   Stream #0:1 -> #0:2 (copy)
23:47:15.708 Press [q] to stop, [?] for help
23:47:16.105 Output #0, mp4, to 'C:\Users\Media\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\programdata\sync\6\8\8a22d78f-bd69-4335-ac8c-b0a45872156c.mp4':

But yes this would be good info to have on the page or in the KB for default locations.

You can also see this information on the front page of the server dashboard by clicking Get Server Info.

I guess it depends where. On IOS, clicking that shows no sync folder path?

But it does not show the sync folder as the log shows where the conversion is happening.

OK yes that is true.
