The new video system works well. I just have one question....
Wy does it take SOOOOOOOOO LOOOOOONNNGGGG to process one? I just uploaded a 75 meg video and 45 minutes later, it's still not done. A 20 meg can take 20 minutes to finish.
Video Processing Times

each processing threat will start every 5 minutes. PS: If possible do not write me personally, please try to ask on the forum first |
I know that. What I am asking is why it takes so long to complete processing a single video? The actual time spent processing seems excessive. I'm at 60 minutes now with this 75 meg video. I know it's processing because I can watch the resource usage on my server. It seems very inefficient to me. http://towtalk.net ... Hosted by Zarconia.net! |
@SashaE That doesn't explain why it takes so long. A 5 MB video takes 12-18 minutes to process. That's ridiculous.
A Dolphin sites members will get pretty discouraged if things continue to take that long. No one wants to wait that long, and the video upload section of every single Dolphin site, will fail miserably if the processing times can't be reduced to a fraction of the time they now take. I would challenge anyone to show me one single Dolphin site with more than just a few high quality videos. Until processing times can be reduced, a successful video section on a Dolphin site, will be a pretty rare occurrence. Just tell us straight up.... what is it going to take to make video processing as fast as possible? My opinions expressed on this site, in no way represent those of Boonex or Boonex employees. |
Just to add some info. 1 hr 32 minutes to complete processing of a 75 meg video. That's just stupid........
PS, I just tried to play the video. It fails. Only the last 35 or 40 seconds is viewable. The rest is all sound and a black screen..... BTW, have you ever tried to embed a video from a dolphin site here? LOL check this: http://townation.com/m/videos/view/Oregon-1 http://towtalk.net ... Hosted by Zarconia.net! |

gotta admit, the video side of Dolphin is probably the area I would want to see improved the most. Its not clear on how users can upload, first they have to each create an album, then click the very small 'add video' to the album link.... then it does take a long time to upload and process.
Why not do away with albums? You have videos allocated to users anyway if you want to search that way, plus catagories to make sections... Albums just seems to be an extra layer to get through. All vids should go straight into one bucket as they do on youtube, by tagges to users and cats. would be much more straight forward. Also, why does it need to take so long before a video actually starts to play on the view page? Ive worked with a number of video scripts before and they are all pretty much instant to play.
I know Dolphin is mainly a networking script but videos are an important part of that for some. Would be a great improvement. Dolphin is great, could be better for vids though. |

This is taken from another post thread..http://www.boonex.com/unity/forums/?action=goto&my_threads=1#topic/Dolphin-amp-FFMPEG-Use.htm I have the same setup too as a testing platform, duvallocals.info, scripts like clipbucket (duvallocals.info/clips/) process videos using system ffmpeg in only a couple minutes opposed to dolphin taking upwards of twenty minutes or more for the same video(same hardware), quality is great but processing times are so different. Installing clipbucket on this test server and the encoding of the same videos times are dramatically different.. I find my self posting to my clipbucket for speed encoding but where does that lead the normal site user uploading a video. How would they know it takes so long to process videos unless we post on the video processing page that videos could take upwards of 45 minutes to encode and with SkyForum ManOfTeal.COM a Proud UNA site, six years running strong! |
