Description

Hello, im trying to launch multiple transcoding instances on an i7 2600k. Now with 3 instaces everything is fine, but after 4th I get crashes with this error. CPU is at no more than 30% at the moment of crash. Memory ussage is about 500mb/4G. Here is the output.

Now I get it that my fifo buffer is too small to handle 4 instances. Can you please advise where can I change the initial value ?

Thanks in advance

Also, please note that with 3 instances i have no issues and they are stable.

comment:2 by Carl Eugen Hoyos, 12 years ago

Please post complete, uncut console output.
Is the problem also reproducible with current git master?

Is this only reproducible with network output, or also if you output to a file?
Is this also reproducible if you do not encode at all, for example with -f null - ?
If encoding is needed, does not using external encoders like x264 and libfaac also allow to reproduce the problem?

Hello,
I tested with a file output and i experienced no instability or crashing.
Any kind of streaming seems to get unstable with more instances of ffmpeg running.
I tried with mpegts and h264 muxers and the result was the same. My version is as follows :

Any update on this ticket? I have the same issue with UDP streams pushing to network. If the source stream is H.264 (instead of MPEG-2), I can't even push single stream to the network.

comment:5 by Roger Pack, 10 years ago

this may mean your box or network is too slow. what if you increase fifo_size?

comment:6 by hemanth.he, 10 years ago

I'm also facing same issue.In my case i can run 6 channels, after starting 7th one it starts giving error.

Here is my system CPU usage for 6 channels.
