My Mediatomb config file has not changed for a while. I am using a transcode-all config file based on the one published here : http://mediatomb.cc/dokuwiki/transcoding:transcoding However, since mediatomb-0.12 at least, I noticed that after each movie watched 2 mencoder processes are launched on 2 different FIFOs. One of them transmit the actual transcoded video to the renderer (a PS3), but the other remains kernel-blocked, writing into a pipe for which no one is actually reading to (only a kill -KILL can kill it). Some traces are in attachment. As shown, two pipes are created for two processes, however only one process is killed... I downloaded static binary version: mediatomb-static-0.11.0-r2-linux-uclibc-i386.tar.gz from the upstream web site. And this problem does not happened with this version. I tried to debug (using ddd/gdb). However the multi-threading make the task too cumbersome for me. If you have any idea how I can help, please tell me so. Regards. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge mediatomb-0.12.1-r1 2.use a transcode-all config file such as the one provided at http://mediatomb.cc/dokuwiki/transcoding:transcoding 3.Launch /etc/init.d/mediatomb start 4.Watch a media file (so transcoding happen) Actual Results: 4.ps aux|grep mencoder should list 2 mencoder processes 5.Stop watching the media file 6.ps aux|grep mencoder should list 1 mencoder process, you need a kill -KILL ta actually kill it (kernel blocked, writing to a FIFO with no reader). Expected Results: ps aux|grep mencoder should only list 1 mencoder process The said process should be killed after watching the media file so no mencoder remains at the end.

Created attachment 331844 [details] Mediatomb log showing transcoding is launched two times for a single media file.
I don't use the transcoding functionality, so I'm not going to be able to help here. Have you tried raising the issue upstream? Is this still an issue with the latest version?
