Serviio

my setup : Servio v 0.6.2
Transcoding enabled.

I have a Sony 32EX720 television which is DLNA supported.
By default it does not support playing few of the video formats (eg mkv)
For this reason i enabled transcoding in Serviio.
When a mkv file is played on tv through serviio it works well. Issue is when playback is stopped ffmpeg.exe in computer task manager is not getting terminated automatically.
My worry is ffmpeg.exe is using lot of system resources when its running.

So it would be nice to see if ffmpeg.exe can get terminated automatically when playback is not running.

It is not terminated by design because the tv etc is not able to tell serviio whether the video is stopped or paused, if you pause a video, you certainly wouldn't want to start watching it again from the begining. Additionally, my may press stop by mistake, again, you would have to start again. There are lots of threads like this, and the answer is, it is not going to chanage. I think there are some scripts that might help you kill ffmpeg manually if you really want, have a look on the wiki/forum.
