Solved Transcoding failed

[rmdes]

There are two pieces of log that indicate transcoding jobs are failing because the read only file system, I'm wondering if we can move the transcoding folder to somewhere we can write ?

Video Transcoding log:

the standard log gives more information:

@girish any update on this?

@rmdes said in Transcoding failed:

Failed to open segment '/app/data/storage/streaming-playlists/hls/bcdd49de-2b30-4966-8d33-02307cce84c6/bcdd49de-2b30-4966-8d33-02307cce84c6-480-fragmented.mp4'\nCould not write header for output file #0 (incorrect codec parameters ?): Read-only file system\n

Not sure I get this. Why is it saying readonly filesystem when the above path is writable (it's under /app/data ?)

[girish]

@rmdes Where are you seeing these errors? How can I reproduce this?

[girish]

Found it but for me the transcoding works. The latest package installed youtube-dl, maybe that solved the issue?

[girish]

@rmdes Please try the latest 1.0.0 package.

[rmdes]

@girish I think I went looking for this in this part of the dashboard

furthermore, this is how my transcoding options are set

i have upgraded my peertube instance to latest
and this is the log I have from my last upload/transcoding job https://paste.armada.digital/jemequxugo.js

[rmdes]

by disabling HLS with P2P support enabled, it seems all transcoding jobs work fine :
