Transcode after import fails

[girish]

@imc67 I think I found the issue with the tracker wss. Looks like the package have trust proxy configured incorrectly - https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/blob/4e239e3554ba7162c03e939f54133933527a1b74/server/controllers/tracker.ts#L99 .

BTW, I changed the location of my peertube instance and this completely broke the videos. Do you know if you changed the location of your peertube instance by any chance? The peertube docs do say that this won't work, I forgot about it. Otherwise, if you can put the video for download somewhere, I can try it out in my instance.

@imc67 Actually, the tracker is not a problem. Peertube simply returns 403 when info hash (something webtorrent related) is not found and blocks that IP. So, I guess the status now is that it works for me and we can test it out with your video in my instance. Also, confirm that you haven't changed the location of peertube after installing/uploading videos. This seems to break everything.

@girish I can confirm I haven't changed location. I'll send you an email with a download link for a test video and the URL of our instance.

@imc67 I just uploaded a video produced in 1080P and that one plays fine!?!

So I guess it are the export settings causing this error in PT.

I created an issue in their Github: https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/issues/3502

@imc67 Is there a sample video you can link to the upstream task, so they can test it out?

@girish it’s probably fixed:

Force HLS transcoding
Fix weird behaviour with some web browsers. Don't really know if it's a ffmpeg bug, a safari bug or a peertube bug, but forcing transcoding seems to fix this playback bug

Now we have to wait for the next release
