Video Conversion Progress

Is there currently or can there be some sort of progress indicator or something to let us know that our video is actually being converted or if there is a problem with conversion. I have in the past posted about it taking days with no conversion taking place. I know the 2 main settings for this is the upload size and the memory limit. I have adjusted these and uploaded a video that is saying its awaiting conversion however I cant tell if the process is underway or not. So far I am converting a 143 mb video with a memory limit of 512 mb and its taken 18 min so far. Any suggestions?

    • 12 hours and still no video conversation 

      • Hello Michael Farrington !

        The first relaible indicator that the conversion was successful is the thumbnail form the video. Yes, 12 hours is too long, so need to check the records in the `sys_transcoder_queue` and `sys_transcoder_queue_files` tables about this file and it's status.

        • So your asking me to query those tables for the file I uploaded or what exactly?

          • Yes, it would be good to show the results of the queries like

            SELECT * FROM `sys_transcoder_queue` ORDER BY `added` DESC LIMIT 10;

            and

            SELECT * FROM `sys_transcoder_queue_files` ORDER BY `added` DESC LIMIT 10;

            • Raise your memory limit up higher. Also, 18 minutes it should have been completed within that timeframe

              • What is the gauge for the memory limit? I know at 256 mb I was able to do everything at 50 megs or below.
                I will try 1024 mb and re-upload the file and try again but if there was some type of standard to go by for this like 2x memory or 4x memory that would be helpful. Thanks for your input!

                • So I set it at 1 gig for memory_limit and uploaded the video again and waited 30 minutes and nothing.

                  • Here is the SQL QUERY results

                    • Ok so after a day plus I tried uploading a 17 sec video and after 15 minutes it did not convert. I deleted the 143 meg and the 17 sec video and then I resubmitted the 17 sec video and it converted almost instantly. So again I saw that if there is a video ahead of you that wont convert your video wont convert either. This has been like this for me since I have started using UNA. I havent been able to convert anything over 50 mb and I now have memory_limit set to 1024 mb. I would really like to get this working correctly so anyone that has theirs working that can give any suggestions it would be appreciated. 

                      • It is not converting and not sure why
