Is it possible to watch a recording while the Postprocessing is still running? Or is there a way to skip post-processing for some shows? I could skip Postprocessing on NFL games.
I record NFL games, but the post processing on a 2-3 hour recording can take a few hours. If I catch it while the game is still happening, I can watch it. However once the game has ended I can’t find a way to watch it until the Postprocessing is complete and it shows up in the regular Recordings library.
I removed my comment because it was inaccurate. Sorry.
You can configure ad detection when you set up your recording.
And you can disable credit detection at the show level.
That doesn’t sound right. Nothing should take that long.
It was running the comskip and then transcoding it to h264 using the CPU. There is also a lock in the postprocessing script to prevent multiple postprocessing scripts from running at the same time due to a plex bug where it would sometimes delete the temp files of all recordings when one postprocessing script finished. So with all of that and an NFL game recording often times being a 3 hour long 13-35Gig file it was taking quite some time to finish.
I’d like to keep doing the postprocessing using plex because that’s the easiest way to get the NFL metadata to show up.
Are you running a 3rd party script? If you enabled transcoding to h264, that should be done live while recording, so comskip is the only post processing and it shouldn’t take more than 5-10 minutes.
Yes I’m using a postprocessing script to do the transcode. The hardware based transcode is only available on some versions of HDHomerun and my HDHomerun Prime does not support it.
My transcoding script is basically this one with a few tiny changes: PlexPostProc/PlexPostProc.sh at master · nebhead/PlexPostProc · GitHub
So is it possible to watch a show that has finished recording, but is in the PostProcessing status? I haven’t found a way. Or to run PostProcessing on all files except NFL games?
