MisterAngelus 7 Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 I am having trouble getting thumbnail creation to work on some of my content it wont create thumbnails for 2 of 13 episodes I also attached the emby server log * Error Report *** Version: 4.0.0.2 Command line: F:\App Data\Emby\system\EmbyServer.dll Operating system: Microsoft Windows NT 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 64-Bit OS: True 64-Bit Process: True User Interactive: True Processor count: 4 Program data path: F:\App Data\Emby\programdata Application directory: F:\App Data\Emby\system System.Exception: System.Exception: Error running ffmpgeg extract-imageseries for H:\TV Shows\Marvel's The Punisher\Season 2\Marvel's The Punisher - 2x04 - Scar Tissue.mkv - embyserver.txt
Luke 42077 Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 You cancelled the scheduled task, that's why you got an error in the log file. We can make sure the error does not get written to the log in that situation.
MisterAngelus 7 Posted January 22, 2019 Author Posted January 22, 2019 I thought that might be it,,, but I re ran the thumbnail creation several times and let it run for hours till it finally stops... but it never creates the .bif for those 2 episodes when it stops i check and no thumbnail file created no matter how many times i run the plugin.. its a 4k file so it takes a long while to make the .bif file but it wont create it for those two files
Luke 42077 Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 Occasionally it may fail for certain files, it is nothing to be alarmed about. We're going to be revamping this soon so that may have some impact. Thanks.
MisterAngelus 7 Posted January 22, 2019 Author Posted January 22, 2019 Not alarmed just curious... i did just remove the files scan library .. then re added the files so we shall see
Luke 42077 Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 Just remembered the default triggers for the scheduled task have a time limit of 4 hours due to the resource consumption this requires on your machine. So if you didn't cancel manually, that would be why.
MisterAngelus 7 Posted January 22, 2019 Author Posted January 22, 2019 The only trigger for thumbnails is set to run at application startup.. so if I start the thumbnail creation manually... i'm thinking it wont stop after 4 hours... unless i'm wrong
Luke 42077 Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 Correct. And the default triggers will not run that task at startup so that must have been customized.
MisterAngelus 7 Posted January 22, 2019 Author Posted January 22, 2019 Nope still didn't create create the .bif thumbnail for two of the 13 episodes not a big deal.. just find it interesting
Luke 42077 Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 Ok soon this will be rewritten and we can re-evaluate then. Thanks.
MisterAngelus 7 Posted February 7, 2019 Author Posted February 7, 2019 Just a follow up... just tried this again with a 4k copy of The Girl in the Spider's Web Roku thumbnail plugin is set to create thumbnails when new content is found but that didn't work so I manually told it to create thumbnails from scheduled tasks that also didn't create the .bif file unsure as to why
MisterAngelus 7 Posted February 7, 2019 Author Posted February 7, 2019 hope this is the right log embyserver.txt
Luke 42077 Posted February 8, 2019 Posted February 8, 2019 I would suggest trying that one again when Emby Server 4.1 is released. Thanks.
MisterAngelus 7 Posted February 21, 2019 Author Posted February 21, 2019 (edited) I ran into this issue again with the latest version of Emby Version 4.0.2.0, the movie is Fantastic Beasts The Crimes of Grindelwald (2018) embyserver.txt Edited February 21, 2019 by MisterAngelus
Luke 42077 Posted February 21, 2019 Posted February 21, 2019 Ok, this will be revamped in Emby Server 4.1 and will perform much better, thanks.
MisterAngelus 7 Posted February 21, 2019 Author Posted February 21, 2019 I'm wondering if the thumbnail plugin doesn't have trouble with HDR content. I bet your getting tired of me reporting the same issue
Luke 42077 Posted February 21, 2019 Posted February 21, 2019 It just takes a long time and then we will it because it exceeds our allotted time limit.
MisterAngelus 7 Posted February 21, 2019 Author Posted February 21, 2019 Hmm interesting i knew the thumbnail creation that gets run automatically when new content is discovered had a time limit but after that one finished I ran it manually I did not think the manual one was subject to that rule but then I guess you would know more then I would reading the log
MisterAngelus 7 Posted April 20, 2019 Author Posted April 20, 2019 I just tested this with a video file with HDR content and the new built in thumbnail creation and it worked great. it created the .bif file in about 10 minutes much much faster then ever before so this issue is solved dunno what you did when you incorporated the thumbnail feature into Emby but it works great My compliments
