PeerTube Transcoding Error (FFMPEG related, probably)

Hello,

I have been running my PeerTube instance for a while now, with no major trouble. However, the other day when I updated to PeerTube 3.0.1 via Yunohost, I noticed some errors around FFMPEG not being able to be upgraded (didn’t sound great…). The server came through otherwise fine though, and it looked like everything was working…until I tried adding new video content to the server. Now, every single video is stuck in a perpetual state of “transcoding”, and it’s failing in the background with the following error:

error[2/6/2021, 11:09:58 PM] Error in transcoding job.

}

Any idea on how to fix this? Should I just SSH into the server and uninstall/reinstall FFMPEG? Thanks!

Hi @hexydes,

Linking to FFMPEG Error during 3.0.1 update causes transcoding to fail · Issue #199 · YunoHost-Apps/peertube_ynh · GitHub where you’ve also reported the issue (good idea by the way).

Haven’t upgraded to 3.0.1 yet so not sure how to help on this one…

Thank you! I wasn’t sure which one would be more active, but figured I’d hedge my bets! :slight_smile:

I’ve replied to your questions over on Github, and hopefully that will give you more evidence to figure out what’s going on!
