Transcode Videos
Hi,
I am scanning Immich using bind volume, but sometimes some videos are not transcoded due to server downtime. So far so good, how can I transcode these videos again? I tried to query the database and it shows up but I can't get it to transcode again.
immich=# SELECT "assetId" FROM asset_job_status
WHERE "previewAt" IS NULL OR "thumbnailAt" IS NULL
ORDER BY "metadataExtractedAt" DESC
LIMIT 2;
assetId

Without the right information we can't work out what the problem is. Help us help you ;)
If this ticket can be closed you can use the /close
command, and re-open it later if needed.Can't you just run the "Missing" transcode job?
how do I do it?
I have tried it many times, failed videos are not fixed
I just restarted it

What are the server logs?
Clearly it fails running those
of couse


I am pretty sure we don't support .vob movies
You should really use plex/jellyfin for movies/shows

Does it not? Maybe corrupted? (I don't know well enough to say if this correct)
Oh apparently we do then. I'd still not recommend using Immich for this 😅
And yeah most likely something is off with those files
.VOB is ok for videos. But the 2 files I didn't see were .MOV files. I can't see these 2 files in the web interface either.
