Changed

  • Pause-on-stream now actually pauses running encodes (Plex / Jellyfin / Emby). Previously the worker only delayed new jobs from starting while a stream was active; currently-running ffmpeg processes were left untouched. Now the worker sends SIGSTOP to every active ffmpeg subprocess when a stream starts, freezing them at zero CPU / zero disk-IO. SIGCONT on stream-end resumes from the exact frame they stopped at — no work lost. The pause-check loop runs every 15 seconds regardless of len(_active_tasks), so the freeze takes effect within one cycle of a stream starting.
  • Default for *_pause_transcode_only flipped from true to false for all three media servers. Under the new SIGSTOP behavior, even direct-play streams mean "user is watching", so pausing is appropriate; the previous "transcoding only" default was a holdover from when pause-on-stream just delayed dispatch and direct-play didn't compete for transcode CPU. Existing users with this setting stored in DB are unaffected; the new default only applies to fresh installs and freshly-toggled fields.
  • Updated Schedule page UI copy to reflect the real-pause behavior (mentions SIGSTOP/SIGCONT explicitly so users know it's lossless).
