Original file deleted after job done

Tefox

Hello,
I want to transcode hevc files into h264 but keep the original one.
This is my flow :

convert-video.json

7kB

But the source file is deleted after the job successful 🙁

Someone have an idea ? Thanks !

PS: I exclude file ending with -h265.{3}$ in my library for ignore already processed files

I try to replace the last node "Move file" with "Copy file"

Still same problem...

You're renaming the file before processing, so at that point the original file is the working file.

The final move/copy coming from output 1 of FFMPEG Builder: Executor is running against the temporary file, so move or copy will produce basically the same results, but a Move there makes more sense.

Thanks for your reply, but the original file was deleted at the end, i want to keep both. At the end i want myfile-h265.mkv and myfile-h264.mkv. But for now i only have the h264 one. Any idea ?

the flow you posted, has move file from output 1 of ffmpeg executor. which means the working file is a temporary file created by that.

your move does not have "Delete Original" check, so nothing in that flow suggests it would delete the file.

post your log

k, think i know whats happening here. look into it more tomorrow.

but there's code that says check if the working file is changing and if its not the original file, delete the current working file.

so since you did a rename, the working file changed, then once the conversion happens, that is now set to the working file, and the renamed one isn't the same as the original file, so it gets deleted.

I just have to put in a check to only delete from the temporary directory.

I'll confirm this tomorrow and fix it in RC2, just waiting for any more bug reports to come in.
