Serviio

Hello,

I believe I found two bugs regarding transcoding. I'm on Serviio 1.7.1.1 on CentOS 7.

1. The option (in the console) "Delivery -> Transcoding -> Enable transcoding" has no effect. After disabling it, files still get transcoded.
2. The option "Transcoded files location" on the same page has no effect either. It's always reverted back to /tmp. Even setting the parameter "serviio.defaultTranscodeFolder" in /opt/serviio/bin/serviio.sh has no effect.

Those two bugs can make the system instable. When I browse to a bigger movie in the media browser and click on "Play", Serviio starts transcoding in the /tmp folder until it's used 100%. Even if I stop playing in the
media browser after one second, it still tries to transcode the whole file to the end. And you know it's not a good things if tmpfs runs out of space...

I've attached a debug log from the action of playing the movie in media browser. From the log you can see that even though the "Enable transcoding" option is not checked, it starts transcoding the video, and that at the end it fails because the filesystem is full.

Thanks,
SH

I am not an expert on reading the log, so Zip will have to weigh in on that. Do you have Burn-in Subtitles enabled? That will force transcoding even if you have it disabled.

No.
