Nightly Encoding

[VoteQuimby]

Anybody have suggestions on what I should be looking at to troubleshoot why my nightly scheduled conversion to divx stopped working? I can manually transcode from the video library, but the scheduled conversion no longer seems to kick off.

Zip and attach the recording service logs and I'll take a look.

Much appreciated. Hopefully this is what you need.

Unfortunately that log doesnt show the recording service starting up, so I cant see the specific thing I was looking for. You might need to restart it, then post the logs again.

I take it the machine was awake at the time the conversion processing was configured to happen?

Wow ... you fixed this through osmosis or something. In order to regenerate the logs as you requested, I restarted the service, then reset my system clock to 1 minute before the scheduled coversion time to simulate the problem. But then - *poof* - up popped FFMPEG. So it looks like I'm working again. There's a bit more to this story though. Earlier tonight, my son accidentally deleted nearly everything in the recordings directory (and yes - he's now up for adoption now). PVRX2 was started shortly thereafter, and I'm guessing that cleared the transcode_queue table, which had a million entries in it when I was poking around a couple days ago (the transcode hasn't worked for quite some time). So now I'm wondering if there was a bad record/invalid reference that was causing the failure? Is that possible? Whatever the cause - I'm just happy it's working again. Thank you very much for your help!
