[Windows 10 Update KB4338819 issue] Conversion Failed. The transcoder exited due to an error

If you are continuing to get these errors in the logs

ERROR - [Transcoder] [stream_segment,ssegment @ 026a4a80] Failed to open segment list 'http://127.0.0.1:32400/video/:/transcode/session/xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/seglist'

ERROR - [Transcoder] av_interleaved_write_frame(): Unknown error

ERROR - [Transcoder] Error writing trailer of media-%05d.ts: Invalid argument

then we are back to square one with the investigation as was before Microsoft released the fix for their bug

Things to consider

  • A Windows Reboot

  • any security / network management / bandwidth optimizer software you may have that may be blocking localhost requests sometimes - eg http://127.0.0.1:32400/video/:/transcode/session/xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/seglist

  • if this error with 127.0.0.1 is easily reproducible, then look into using SysInternals Process Monitor to capture all events and stop capture when error is encountered. See Process Monitor - Sysinternals | Microsoft Learn
    (Process Monitor uses a lot of system resources - so it would not be a tool you would leave capturing events for long - perhaps 10 - 15 minutes max) - the PML files you save the capture into would be massive but they do zip very well (The zip would need uploading to dropbox or similar service and link can be sent to me by Private Message - would needs the zipped PMS logs for the period)
