Documentation for auto-transcoding things on Commons

Hi, I've uploaded File:3-4A set class on C.mid (a MIDI file) on Commons, and I'm wondering if I need to just wait (how long?) or perform any other magical incantations in order to generate Ogg/MP3 files for it (and several other MIDI files I'll need to upload for List of set classes). Is there some documentation somewhere I can look at, or does someone know? Thanks — Jonathanischoice (talk) 21:34, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

It looks like we had a batch upload of many large, high-resolution videos which clogged up the queue a bit. For the time being we've disabled 1440p and 2160p output (so 1080p will be the high-resolution video transcode made) until I have a chance to rework some queue stuff to more cleanly prioritize things. Even with that it took a few days to clear everything that was backed up out of the queue, but it should be more or less consistent again.

I definitely want to provide better visibility on the queue status in future, but might now it's just ugly to query. Needs some database table rearrangement and some different logic on the jobs. This'll be among my ongoing maintenance tasks, and I *really hope* to finish it this calendar year.

Hi, thanks for investigating. If the codebase is visible to a mere muggle such as myself, I'd be happy to try and help and/or contribute a pull request on Gerrit.

It seems there is a bug at this moment. No audio-only files seem to be getting transcoded at all.

I have filed phab:T368364
