Windows 10 ffmpeg continue running while downloading and without watching videos

[Former user]

It seem like servioo starts ffmpeg to retrive some info for all the files in the collections. If it does once is ok. The problem may be in the fact that I'm downloading this file, so servioo senses some changes in the directory folder and try to retrieve the info for the file again and again and againg. So the test is, watch how servioo call ffmpeg while downloading a file in the directory shared for collection

This is expected. there is no way to know when the file is actually complete, especially on remote drives and certain OSes.

Serviio will check if the filesize is changed of it the file is locked, but if both say OK, Serviio tries to get the file metadata.

In your case you can either download to another folder or disable automatic file detection.
