Hi all,
Some media files appear to block the encoding queue. This is probably due to some corrupted or unsupported media files. The result is a runaway ffmpeg process that never ends, thus blocking the encoding queue. This is reproducible, when using the same “corrupted” source file.
The current setup is that the Batch server tries in succession 3 different encoders (ffmpeg, ffmpeg-aux, and mencoder). It tries the whole succession 3 times before giving up. The trouble is that at some point one of the tries just hangs, never ending, thus blocking the processing queue on this server
The problem is, once all batch servers are in a deadlock, new jobs don’t go through anymore.
My question is: are the runaway processes automatically killed somehow after some time? Or do I have to set up some monitoring to address this?
