Emby LIVE TV - Recording creates multiple small files


Recommended Posts

I set up a recording for Emby to action overnight, but when I checked this morning, instead of having 1 large MP4 file, I had multiple 1kb MP4 files instead.

 

Is this a known issue ??

 

I can supply the server log later if required, but I did delete those files.

Just set up another recording today and it has created 55 MP4 files, each of 32kb in size !!

 

There are errors in the server log:

So no definitive answer yet then.

 

I wish people would use the search function ;)

If you use the Convert to MP4 and then keep audio it will use an MKV instead and records happily. Running 3.0.5962.0

 

It doesn't like the AAC_LATM of FreeviewHD channels in an MP4 container but happy with it in an MKV... I'm sure it used to work into an MP4 mind you!

OK, thanks.

 

I'll have a play.

This issue seems to have come back.

 

On my DEV server, I have Live TV recordings set to convert to MKV and the recording is split up into multiple small files of the same name.

 

On my STABLE server, I have recordings set to convert to MP4 and only 1 file is created.

 

I haven't had a chance to grab logs as yet, but wanted to see/know if anyone else is seeing the same issue please.

 

Thanks.

There are no recording changes in dev so it's more likely just something that happened with that particular recording

Posted

Version 3.0.8300.0

 

My regularly scheduled recordings, 3 in particular for the wife, are consistently not 'completing' and accessable.  I still see them as active recordings.

I tried deleting and re-creating the series from scratch no go.  I've included the server logs and the record transcode logs (2 of them).  Not sure but perhaps the transcode is getting hung up.

 

I'm going to turn off the post-transcode process and see if that gets me back to normal for now. Let me know if you want me to try a few things or need some additional information.

No, it seems very repeatable when converting to MKV.

 

Converting to MP4 works fine.

See attached the server log for the BBC News at One recording, converting to MKV.
 
It does the same in the stable version of the server as well.
 
Hope this helps.

Update: 2 out of 3 recordings worked fine with conversion to MP4 turned off. The last 1 was supposed to end 18 minutes ago but still shows that it's recording, although there is no tuner in use.

Please supply a log from that, thanks.

Please see attached.

 

Failed recording started at 7:30pm. The 6:30 and 7pm recordings completed.

Does the last file have any data or is it 0 byte?

what is the duration of that?

Posted (edited)

25.31 min/sec should be 30 even no?

I've gone back to mp4 as I had a few do this recently on dev version.

 

I'll see if I can get it to do it again

It was like this when converting to MKV was first added and was fixed, but happening in DEV and Stable.

 

I guess it's in Beta as well, but I don't currently have Beta installe to test with.

 

Hopefully @Luke/@ebr can fix it again :)

The latest DEV release hasn't fixed this issue, although I thought it might have been following this comment.

 

Anyway, after testing a bit more, I found that it's only creating multiple MKV files on HD channels, as a SD channel recording only created 1 MKV file.

 

Under Recordings, I have multiple recordings of a HD programme:
