Windows 11 Tdarr Node Keeps going Idle after like 10 min running GPU mode Didnt happen in Win 10

[comet424]

Please put plugin requests/bugs at: https://github.com/HaveAGitGat/Tdarr_Plugins

Describe the bug
so i have 100s of files for the tdarr to run.. in windows 11 in GPU transcoding it will run do say 20 files maybe at uses 99% gpu usage for doing 3 transcode.. after about 10 min it goes down to 1% the transcoding time increases and it just hangs like that.. you can close the app and re load it.. but it will just hang right away ... you gotta reboot Windows 11 and then restart the tdarr node app to get it to transcode again.. but then like 5 10 min or so back to 1% and isnt working... this wasnt an issue in Windows 10 but it seems i have nothing but problems in 11... unless windows 11 needs different settings.. i did try googling but never found answer...

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
run tdarr on windows 11..

Expected behavior
A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.
i expected it to run and not go idle or pretending its transcoding and the time icreases to like 700 hours

so i not sure if windows 11 needs a special setup but if i run on windows 10... same file no issues.. and this is on a rtx 4060 gpu

[HaveAGitGat]

Hi make sure your GPU drivers are up to date,

Post the job report if you still have issues https://docs.tdarr.io/docs/other/job-reports

im currenting running 581.80 which is the latest version for the game ready driver for geforce..

at the moment no i dont have the old logs.. its currently working again its only running like 10% of the gpu when normally runs at 99% when it does 3 files at once.. so i dunno if the logs currently running at a 10% usage will help?

[comet424]

a current log of the one file i doing says more then 5 hours 12 percent done on a 6 gig file .. my unraid server doing cpu transcoding going faster
but here is a log i did the anonymous but hope it helps i was trying to change settings for the geforce in the control panel for the video card.. to see if some adjustment would force tdarr to run but so far it doesnt .. i even rebooted my unraid server hosing tdar server, and node.. and still works faster then the windows 11... so i not sure if there is a toggle i need to adjust. but windows 11 still sucks.

[comet424]

now its been processing for 36 min and its jumped to 31 hours now at 12.71% here is the log file for that currently i not sure if any different
and it also does this for the CPU mode on the windows 11... it doesnt process... it used to work not sure if its from a windows 11 updates..
M7FP4TQ6i-log (2).txt

[comet424]

i have this other one going and it goes to frame as time.. i get this alot too i notice i just leave it in the processing of the gpu and basiclly a few hours down the road it finishes

IbDluljpJ-log.txt

[comet424]

i also finding calculating will hang to under windows 11

bxoKwQnr_xt-log.txt

not sure if any of this helps but best i can do i guess

[comet424]

and i not sure what this time remaining means ive seen this a couple times

vf9p-TyrgAZ-log.txt

so far ive only seen these issues on windows 11 home... and i have 10gig networking between the desktop and unraid server
and then it jumps to
displaying

Thanks, none of those screenshots are related to GPU transcoding. They're removing title metadata so it's just copying all the streams from the old file into the new file without certain metadata - it's a CPU operation (can't be done with GPU).

So this would be a case of either a disk or network issue I think. Have you checked the driver are healthy or that there's enough disk space etc?

There's the remux command in the log, if you run it manually does it have the same issue?

It's this one:

Try running it in a cmd window.

[comet424]

well i though it its GPU transcoding.. when i set CPU Transcoding 0 CPU Health 0 GPU Transcoding 3 GPU Health 3

so those screen shots are all GPU Processing.. none of those are CPU Processing

so running the command line in windows didnt work

unless i got tdarr setup wrong? but here is a new one its idling at the moment
or goes super slow.. they are all gpu transcoding... unless its not configure right? i just know when i reboot windows it then starts transcoding and gpu goes like 99% when i resume but it will do like 10 files then drop to idle and just hangs

i just realize that command you wanted to to try is the anonoymous.. id have to figure it out how to type that in lol ugh

[comet424]

so i tried the command again altering it to a video that failed...

this is the log file of the video above.. i just changed the name of the video to movie but the rest i left
Js6WdRTK56O-log (1).txt
the error log

this video error'd out but it went up to 24 hours and after a while it crapped out and showed up in the transcode/error section

[supersnellehenk]

Chiming in. Only video transcode plugins will actually use the GPU.

In your case with 'gpu workers allowed to do cpu tasks', the GPU worker will behave like a GPU+CPU worker.

So things like altering audio, subtitles, or simply removing streams are done on the CPU, whereas video will be done on the GPU, as the GPU physically can't do anything else besides video.

So, those image removal and title removal plugins will solely run on the CPU, and are limited by network/disk speed.

[comet424]

so how do i fix it to work faster? so i dont get it stalled and says 1.5 gb file is going to take 700 hours to process?

what is the proper plugin ways.. as my network connection is 10gig from desktop to the server.. i know i didnt have issues with windows 10... so now i trying my 1gb onboard nic to run on windows 11

so the image and removals do they takes hours to remove? or that should be instant really..

im hoping its just a network card issue.. 10gtek card uses x520 and ms doesnt support that anymore probably why it works well on windows 10.. intel doesnt support drivers for windows

but at the moment on the 1gb connection gpu usage is working at like 10percent fluxates.. it doesnt sit at 0.. and the tdarr processing doesnt sit at like 12% processed for an hour... as it just hangs and never moves... so hoping its just windows 11 is junk and doesnt like network cards lol.

as right now the 3 processs are increasing in percentage.. so its moving along smoothly.. its not hanging..

[supersnellehenk]

Is your original media on spinning rust? (HDD) that'll likely hit an IOPS issue with a whole bunch of files running at the same time.

And your transcode cache, is that on an HDD or SSD?
