Serviio

Hi

i try to make a profile for my LG HLB54S bd player.
i manage to transcode some files and i have the following problems:

1 ffmpeg continue to run with high cpu usage after i stop the transconding video (i have to manual stop it from task manager) i run it in
windows 7 x64

2 transconding video has not the native video aspect ratio and when i try the dar=16:9 command in my profile instead to expand from left and right compressed from up and down and now i have black areas around of the video.
i reed in forum for a ffmpeg filters but i don't know how to apply them.

I got the same on 1).
I guess this is because Serviio kicks in the transcoding process but does not know if someone is actually watching the stream.. would be cool if this would be fixed.

on 2) you might want to check this and supply some more details
viewtopic.php?f=5&t=4510

I think the developer has to revisit this problem. I believe it is a bug he has not figured out how to solve.

It is not a bug, but a feature. Discussed many times.

Is it alright for the transcoding to continue for 48 hours and indefinitely till I kill it?

48 hours? It'll only run until it finishes transcoding the video. Unless you are watching a live stream?

It happens after watching a live stream on a Philips TV.

Ok, Live streams should get killed when you stop watching them. Are you using a plugin or enter the stream URL directly to the console?

It is the ABC plugin.

It might be the plugin is not correctly marking live streams as live, causing Serviio not to kill the process when you stop watching it. Ask the plugin dev to check this.

it is the Livefeeds plugin. It has not been updated since July.

That one looks ok.... can you enable detailed log, play the stream, stop it, wait 2 minutes and then post the log here?

It has not happened since my last post, so it could be a random occurrence . I will post the console log when it happens.

thanks

This thing is random . Here is a snippet of the log.

I'll need detailed log of when you play the stream, then stop... it should log something about trying to kill ffmpeg after a minute or so.

This is the serviio log file. I do not find what you are looking for:

I'll need detailed log (see my signature on how to enable it) .. there should be a lot of DEBUG entries in the log after that

Here you go:

There is nothing in that log re playing a live stream. It only shows you transcoding and playing 3 mp4 files, and the ffmpeg process terminating when transcoding is complete..
