Encoder not obeying resolution rules

[para2022]

Hi,

I only use 720p 360p and 240p so why am i still getting the original 1080p also? i dont use a res that high on my platform, waste of space and really is not needed for me as it isnt netflix, 720p is more than enough. 2 encoders both doing the same.

Any ideas whats causing this? Thanks.

I found something, this text was wrong

I just rename this option to 'Save the original video resolution'

If you do not want to save the original file this option must be unchecked

[para2022]

Thanks Dan for the fix. What does the save original video mean? Im looking at turning it off but just want to be sure first.

[para2022]

I just put a file through from YouTube 1080P and all i got back was max 480p even though i had 720p as my max selected. This keeps happening. Which is what my problem is. Now i have 'original saved video' turned off that has resolved one issue but it still isnt converting correctly with my max resolution.

[para2022]

the problem seems to be 720p it doesnt like it

[para2022]

One encoder is obeying the 720p max and one isnt so im going to install that encoder again. What is the cause of the broken files issue? I get it a lot but the files are there and i have to go into database and switch the b to a and then it works permantly but ts is very annoying as the user deletes it before i get a chance to fix it most of the time.

Also some are not finishing and im getting:

Permissions are all correct

[para2022]

Everything seems ok with the 2 servers. Ive reinstalled the encoders and installed yt-dlp cleanly. Not seen any errors as of yet. However im getting broken missing files on the streamer site. In the encoder log it is clean and everything was successful. Ive looked in the streamer log also and it saves it correctly into database ect with no errors however it saves it as b and not a. If i switch it back to a (active) the video appears fine. Ive checked the permissions on the files and folders for the failing vids and they are exact same as all the other vids. So cannot get my head around it. It never happens with direct upload just the remote encoders.

[DanielnetoDotCom]

for broken missing files check streamer and encoder logs, when the video is encoded.

[para2022]

I have checked the encoder log (no errors) and it completes. I checked the streamer log and it receives the file and adds to the database, no errors and no errors when it fails. I just did 5 imports and one was broken missing files from rumble. A user tried to upload a video 4 times by uploading to the encoder and using both encoders and all attempts were broken files. Why is this so hit and miss? If there are no errors how am supposed to find the cause? It is bizarre and only seems to happen so randomly and the files are there and there is nothing wrong with them Dan, it just sets some to broken in the database for no apparent reason. I hope i can fix this as its becoming an issue and users are not using the encoder adding to more issues using direct upload lol. Thanks

[para2022]

would this be the cause in my streamer log during the transfer?

I am using Ubuntu 23.04 for my encoder servers and ubuntu 22.04.2 for my streamer site btw.

[DanielnetoDotCom]

what error are you referring to?

if you talking about the resolution this means nothing, if is about something else it may mean something

[para2022]

I have reinstalled both encoder servers with 20.04 ubuntu and i'm not getting broken files now.

Also the encoders are both obeying the 720p max res now and i'm not downloading the original so thats all fine.

Videos keep getting stuck on both encoders and i get these errors. I am using the recent yt-dlp

The conversion will not restart they just throw the same errors and hang in the encoder.

Hope you can help. Thanks

as long as new installations are working fine, you should delete the old encoder and make new installations.

The broken files issue seems to have resolved but im still getting lots of failures/errors in logs.
