Ok, i open information about video in transcode queue
a:7:{s:12:"attachmentId";i:859924;s:5:"media";a:9:{s:11:"media_title";s:0:"";s:17:"media_description";s:97:"Video DESC";s:10:"media_type";s:12:"video_upload";s:11:"media_state";s:7:"visible";s:13:"attachment_id";i:859924;s:7:"user_id";i:62475;s:8:"username";s:7:"lilprik";s:8:"album_id";i:0;s:11:"category_id";i:7;}s:4:"tags";s:83:"tag";s:12:"customFields";a:0:{}s:17:"customFieldsShown";a:0:{}s:18:"tagger_permissions";a:6:{s:4:"edit";b:1;s:6:"create";b:1;s:12:"removeOthers";b:0;s:7:"maxUser";s:2:"10";s:8:"maxTotal";s:1:"7";s:8:"minTotal";i:0;}s:8:"filename";s:98:"/home/user/mydomain.net/data/xengallery_videos/859/859856-01bec8ebac237afbc1ca6586c2900e7c.mp4";}
and I can't view a video file in folder /home/user/mydomain.net/data/xengallery_videos/859/859856-01bec8ebac237afbc1ca6586c2900e7c.mp4
Where the file is stored, and if it disappeared, for what reason could it be?

If these entries have been in the transcode queue for a while, then the file has likely been removed as it has taken too long (over 24 hours). This is expected.
The main issue would be figuring out why these files are in the queue rather than being processed. If you upload new videos, do they get processed?

I uploaded a avi file a 30mb, it is transcoded a fine and fast.
Then I uploaded a 3 files the size of 240 MB each and now all 3 stay in the transcode queue, although! I saw that the load on the server was very high, process of transcoding going.
But the video remained in the queue, and no error reports I didn't receive.
Was it the same 240MB file each time, or different? Did the load stay high or did it eventually stop? What do you have the transcoding limit set as?
Are you able to point us in the direction of where we can download the original video? We would then be able to test it. It's possible if it's the same video that the video file itself is causing it to fall over.

stop
I think a problem not in video.
Perhaps I need to set more time on the PHP script execution?
PHP script execution shouldn't be a factor here as we pass it off to a PHP CLI process for this reason. I've transcoded 700MB video files up to now without issue.
What is your Transcode Limit option set to? Are you attempting to transcode more than one video at a time?
Check your PHP error log in case there is anything logged there.

Files near 200mb and more not transcode on my server, I do not have any errors in the PHP logs.
What else can I try to do?

yes all the files that I tested, it avi
In the meantime, it might be worth trying to run the transcode process manually from the CLI.
You will need SSH access on your server, and you will need to run cd <your/XF/root/path>/library/XenGallery/Helper
In there you need to run a command similar to the following:
You will just need to replace <transcode_queue_id> with a transcode_queue_id for an item in your xengallery_transcode_queue table.
You will also need to ensure that item has a queue_state of "pending" rather than "processing". If it is "processing" already then set it to "pending". You may also want to kill any ffmpeg processes that are already running on the server.
I'm not sure if you'll see any output or not from ffmpeg, but basically keep an eye on it an see if PHP eventually throws back any errors.

Thank you, Chris!
I will test this morning, and immediately write here about the results.
Goodnight!

Hello Chris, for correct work I need a libvo-aacenc codec in my ffmpeg build?

1.1.6
The problem is that when I try to convert video in command prompt and use a command:
ffmpeg -y -i test.avi -vcodec libx264 -acodec libfdk-aac -ar 48000 -ac 2 -movflags faststart output.mp4
it say me Unknown encoder 'libfdk-aac'
I download a build from http://johnvansickle.com/ffmpeg/
but in latest builds.... "We have just removed support for VisualOn AAC encoder (libvo-aacenc) and libaacplus in FFmpeg master."
Official from fmpeg:
January 30, 2016, Removing support for two external AAC encoders
https://www.ffmpeg.org/index.html#news
If you're running one of the newer builds from there, it's true they've removed libvo-aacenc support. But that's ok, because we detect that. We don't use libfdk-aac either.
The command would be:
See if that works.
If it does, then clearly we must be hitting something within PHP.
If that's the case, please ensure debug mode is enabled in your config.php file before running the below quoted process again.
You will have to ensure it is enabled for all users. This may invite some additional errors or logging to happen which may help us isolate the cause better.
