Transcoder failure - No space left on device

Server Version#: 1.30.0.6442
Player Version#: Web client

For reasons unclear, I’ve been getting the error below for the past few weeks when streaming via Chrome.

Feb 07, 2023 16:14:26.282 [0x7fae873f0b38] ERROR - [Req#2d48cb77/Transcode/eghhpjnry7sbapipq58wv5ds/32cff17c-519f-4d23-861d-67ce8e12d437] Error while decoding stream #0:1: No space left on device

My transcoder is set to use /dev/shm and from what df tells me, I have plenty of space left:
tmpfs 16G 1.1G 15G 7% /dev/shm
Not out of i-nodes either:
Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on
tmpfs 4054159 2013 4052146 1% /dev/shm

I’ve never had a problem with this in the past. I use /dev/shm to avoid the read/write hits on the NVMe so it doesn’t burn out.

I would switch it back to the default path and see if the problem goes away. At least they you would know if it has to do with using the ramdisk, or if it is something else.

Downgrade to 1.29.2 or update to 1.30.1.6550 or later.

The 1.30.0 and early 1.30.1 releases have a bug that affects transcoding TrueHD audio. It shows up in the log files as Error while decoding stream #0:1: No space left on device.

I went down to 1.29 and still had the issues. Went to 1.31.0.6654 and that seems to have fixed it. Not sure why it suddenly sprang up, I’ve been on 1.29 since October.
