Immich transcoding questions
Hello, I'm starting to use immich for the first time and have a few questions.
My setup is proxmox baremetal with a VM with passed through Intel iGPU. I enabled qsv and it works. I'm running immich through docker compose on the vm
My questions:
1) why does transcoding not stop after deleting the video that initialized transcoding?
2) why does transcoding not stop when I pause it in the admin dashboard?
3) why does transcoding still utilize like 70% of my cpu cores (6 cores) even if i'm transcoding on the gpu?
I asked this question on the #immich channel and someone replied, I will paste the reply for more context
1) the job is queued and processed, there is nothing killing the job. Generally you won't delete the media item in this short time frame (perhaps with the exclusion of initial onboarding) 2) it's finishing the file(s) that it's working on, but will not process any new ones 3) need logs from containers. If they are loading the models correctly, perhaps it's cpu decoding and hw encodingI have a few more questions now: 1) How do I kill the transcoding jobs? On the UI there isn't a button to stop it completely 3) How do I take the necessary logs from the containers? thank you for your help
