Optional Transcode Path Wrong? #37

Closed coolspot18 closed 3 years ago

coolspot18 commented 3 years ago

linuxserver.io

Documentation states that -v /path/for/transcoding:/transcode to set the transcoding path, however /transcode is not the container's transcoding path but rather the folder name is /config/transcoding-temp?

User must also set transcoding path in Emby transcoding settings to /transcode manually to use the mapped path.

Expected Behavior

Setting -v /path/for/transcoding:/transcode will assign the transcoding path in Emby.

Current Behavior

Mapped path -v /path/for/transcoding:/transcode is not used by Emby unless also manually configured in Emby's transcoding settings.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Set -v /path/for/transcoding:/transcode in docker compose or Portainer
  2. Launch container
  3. Start video stream
  4. Check /path/for/transcoding on docker host to see if files are being written in there - no files will be written in this folder.

You have to configure emby yourself. It's not done automatically, so there is nothing wrong with the container.

Yes, but I think the documentation should make a note to manually configure the path - otherwise, why show the /transcode path as the example?
