Finding correct ffmpeg pid to kill


Recommended Posts

Posted

At times, I have issues in the web interface where playback ability dies, which is no big deal, I restart the Emby service and that fixes it.  However, sometimes this then spawn's ffmpeg processes, where the browser now tries to playback previous requests.... in this case it created 3 ffmpeg processes.  However, someone else starts watching a movie, and now I have 4 ffmpeg processes.  As far as I can tell, the pid of the ffmpeg process, is not listed in the log, so we have no way of telling which ffmpeg process is the one for the movie being watched, and which I can kill.

 

 

Is it possible that we log in the transcode log the pid of the ffmpeg process?

If the pid were listed in the "active devices" in the server admin page they'd be easy to find/nuke.

Yeah that would work!  Or it could be included in the mouse hover over display where it shows the transcoding info and such.
