Comment to Some Videos Failing to Convert. Log Says File Too Big.

  • Glad you figured it out, Cool User.

    Could a very clever programmer reduce (spread out) the processing rate in such a way as to reduce the high momentary server impact? For those with limited resources?

    Would make a very useful mod, imo, if possible.

    Video processing has been a problem (and disappointment) from the beginning for those who self host. Particularly in shared environments.

    • That’s actually a very good point, and I believe a skilled developer could create a module or script that runs ffmpeg.exe sequentially — with limits or lower priority — which would reduce the server’s instantaneous load.

      Instead of UNA launching ffmpeg.exe ten times at once when uploading ten videos, it could have a conversion queue that processes one video at a time, starting the next only after the previous one is finished.
