Hosted Site + Video Issues...

[pmeenan]

Video card wouldn't be an issue, there isn't any offload on the processing. 10 minutes is crazy-long.

The videos are rendered as part of the normal tester work. When the testers request work, if a video is pending it will get processed at a higher priority than any pending tests. That does mean though that if the tester is in the middle of a large job (bunch of runs for a slow site) that it won't pick up the video job until the current one is done. Do you know if the agent was busy doing something else when the video was requested?

If you still have debugging on the urlblast log you can see the time between when x264 was launched and when it completed to make sure it is the actual render that took that long. There's no good reason that it should ever take longer than a few seconds to actually create the video (they are short, at a low frame rate and there are usually a small number of actual frames to combine).

Thanks,
