stream.py enforced a hardcoded _MAX_SESSIONS = 4 and never read the DB-overridable plex_max_transcodes ConfigSpec, so the Configuration → Plex → "Max concurrent transcodes" knob was dead (same env-vs-DB drift class as the Downloads/Admin fixes). _enforce_cap(cap) now takes the cap from sysconfig.get_int(db, "plex_max_transcodes") (>=1 so playback can't be capped to zero). Bumped the config default 1→4 so the effective default matches the old hardcoded cap (no behavior change for non-overriders; the knob now works).

"""On-the-fly HLS remux for Plex playback (seek-restart session model).
|
|
|
|
Playback is from the LOCAL physical file. Browser-compatible files (playable="direct") are served
|
|
raw with HTTP range requests. Everything else that is h264 video (playable="remux") is remuxed on
|
|
the fly to HLS with **video stream-copy** (cheap, I/O-bound — no video re-encode) and audio to AAC
|
|
when needed. HEVC/VP9 (playable="transcode") needs a full re-encode and is deferred to P3.
|
|
|
|
Seek model (Jellyfin-style): one ffmpeg session per item, started at a given offset via `-ss`
|
|
(fast keyframe seek). A seek beyond the generated region restarts the session at the new offset,
|
|
so seeking is responsive even on long movies without pre-generating the whole file. ffmpeg's own
|
|
HLS muxer does the segmentation (the only reliable way to cut a stream-copy at keyframes).
|
|
|
|
Sessions live in this (single) API process; a periodic reaper kills idle ones and frees the temp
|
|
segments. The remux is CPU-light (video copy + a tiny audio transcode), so it runs fine on the
|
|
CPU-only prod host; only P3's full transcode is CPU-heavy.
