Transcoding & Playback Issues

I’m stumped for now. Try disconnecting one of those ethernets from the Server and see what happens. Let us know.

I’ll monitor the server and let you know.

Hey OP, I ran into a HW transcoding crap out that was spiking my CPU. I reverted down to 1.18.3 and that seemed to get HW encod/decod back on point.

I tried to step wise down and then gave up and switched to my last known working HW build which is linked below. Idk what everone else here is saying re: your modem, etc.

Definitely some sort of HW transcoding issue happening on the software side most likely unrelated to HW.

Try experimenting to see if this only happens when doing a library scan? It’s starting to look like there’s a bug in the latest build, and whenever a library scan reaches the file being transcoded, it kills the transcoder.

See this issue:

I was having my library scan every hour, so I stopped that and will test it out to see if I have issues anymore.

Did you get your issue resolved @enragedyouth85?

Sorry, been pretty busy lately.

So the issue seems to be pretty much resolved.

I want to say it was probably a combination of having two NIC’s running and having my library do a full scale every hour.
