mediacowboy 438 Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 Did something change on the clean up of transcoding temp folder? Just remoted into my machine from work to find my c drive 100‰ full. After digging around I discovered of the temp fold was taking up 67 GB of my 111 GB drive. As I am at work and posting from my mobile I will try and get logs tonight.
Luke 42077 Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 The folder is cleaned automatically when playback stops. When live tv is active, the folder is also used as storage for the active stream.
mediacowboy 438 Posted October 9, 2017 Author Posted October 9, 2017 Thanks Luke, I guess it's time to buy a bigger and better hard drive or another hard drive.
CBers 7450 Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 Thanks Luke, I guess it's time to buy a bigger and better hard drive or another hard drive. Move your transcoding temp folder to your DriveBender pool, I have.
Guest asrequested Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 I was checking my transcode folder last night, and there are files from shows long past, and it won't let me delete them. I'll probably have to shut down the server to delete them. If I see it happen again, I'll post logs.
mediacowboy 438 Posted October 9, 2017 Author Posted October 9, 2017 Move your transcoding temp folder to your DriveBender pool, I have.I was thinking add a 2tb 7200 ssd to the server.

maegibbons 1287 Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 Hmm.. I was checking my transcode folder last night, and there are files from shows long past, and it won't let me delete them. I'll probably have to shut down the server to delete them. If I see it happen again, I'll post logs. Was wondering if this could have anything to do with the high memory/memory leak threads. Handles and buffers associated with locked temporary transcode files. Krs Mark

Guest asrequested Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 Restart your server and you can delete them. That hasn't worked. I don't actually know how long they've been there. They aren't shows that I've recoorded. I only looked at the folder because I was doing something with the drive and I noticed that I had 60GBs used. I'll take a closer look when I get home.
CBers 7450 Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 I was thinking add a 2tb 7200 ssd to the server. It'll die eventually and need replacing
mediacowboy 438 Posted October 9, 2017 Author Posted October 9, 2017 It'll die eventually and need replacing The whole server will eventually die sometime. [emoji16]. Also it's only $100 and mainly used for live TV. Everything else in my house is direct stream. 1
CBers 7450 Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 Everything else in my house is direct stream. Ditto.
mediacowboy 438 Posted October 9, 2017 Author Posted October 9, 2017 Hmm that has worked for me both times but I have done it while emby is rebooting.
Guest asrequested Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 I've got a dedicated M.2 SSD for mine. Thinking about it, the Mibox directstreams everything, so that will go through the transcode folder. That may have been what happened. I'll have to investigate.
mediacowboy 438 Posted October 9, 2017 Author Posted October 9, 2017 Until such time comes that I want to spend more money on the server, not everyone can be @, I have moved the transcoding file to my misc drive in my server. It has 1.20 TB free space. If I need more then that I will talk to the family about leaving Live TV Playing when they aren't in the room.
mediacowboy 438 Posted October 9, 2017 Author Posted October 9, 2017 (edited) Correction most my stuff is "Direct Playing" on my Roku's not direct streaming. Edited October 9, 2017 by mediacowboy
Guest asrequested Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 Shutting down and deleting, worked. I'll keep an eye on this (if I remember)
CBers 7450 Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 Thinking about it, the Mibox directstreams everything, so that will go through the transcode folder. Why would it "go through the transcode folder"? Correction most my stuff is "Direct Playing" on my Roku's not direct streaming. Are you sure? Are you taking that from the dashboard? Is the Roku capable of accessing the sources directly? If you shutdown your Emby server, would it carry on playing?
Guest asrequested Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 Why would it "go through the transcode folder"? I know you feel Direct Streaming is 'direct', but that's only for video. Direct streaming is changing the file properties in some way. Remuxing, audio transcode, HTTP serving.... This requires a buffer/temporary location for the file/stream to be re-written and then sent to the device. If you open your transcode folder and play something on a device that direct streams, you'll see a temp file, created.

Here we go again Direct Streaming is through the server without FFMPEG involved, so doesn't use the transcoding folder. Direct Streaming creates a stream from the source, through the server, as the client cannot access the source directly. Remuxing, audio or video, is via FFMPEG, so will use the transcoding folder.

I tested it. It did go through my transcode folder.
