chromecast issue making transcoding temp folder explode

[RobinM 6]

Hi there,

It happens often that chromecast players are stuck in some loop. Dashboard showing they are playing a video, time counter is going back and forth every few seconds.

In the meantime the transcoding temp folder is getting filled with temp files (over 20000+ files) and grows huge in size filling my 1tb ssd completely until there are 0 bytes left. 

What can be done to fix this?

Hi there, let's look at an example. Please attach the information requested in how to report a problem. Thanks !

hi Luke, thank you for your response.

I was running Emby behind a reverse proxy. Since a few days I'm not using the reverse proxy setup anymore, moved to a direct connection with SSL.

Maybe this was causing the issue, will monitor coming days/weeks to see if the issue will occur or not.

Let us know how you get on. Thanks.

Hey Luke,

Currently seeing almost 60000 (60gb total in size) files in de transcoding-temp folder, so it seems the issue is still there.

Provided the biggest transcoding log of october 7th.

When you stop playback on the Chromecast, how are you doing that?

[RobinM 6]

I am not using a chromecast myself. And I have no idea what my users are doing to stop playback. They probably pauze and/or power off the TV.

Even after a restarting emby the chromecast player (s) is/are visible as active.

Ok we're looking into it. Thanks for reporting.
