I have searched the existing issues, both open and closed, to make sure this is not a duplicate report.

The bug

Trying to transcode the remaining missing videos is causing sustained high CPU load without ever reaching completion. The server fans ramp up, but the process appears to hang. Hardware transcoding is otherwise functioning correctly in other Docker containers on the same host.

The OS that Immich Server is running on

Proxmox -> LXD -> Docker Container

Version of Immich Server

v2.3.1

Version of Immich Mobile App

v2.3.1

Platform with the issue

  • Server
  • Web
  • Mobile

Reproduction steps

  1. Start Immich Container
  2. Browse to Administration -> Jobs -> Transcode videos
  3. Click "Missing" in order to transcode missiong videos
  4. Observe 100% cpu load for days without any end

Relevant log output

Executing this command inside the container, leads to this output:

Additional information

I suspect a command-level issue, since hardware transcoding (Radeon iGPU) works fine in my other deployments. Although most videos were transcoded successfully, 16 failed. The process didn't fall back to CPU for these files; it just hung.

Originally created by @qdrop17 on GitHub (Nov 26, 2025). ### I have searched the existing issues, both open and closed, to make sure this is not a duplicate report. - [x] Yes ### The bug Trying to transcode the remaining missing videos is causing sustained high CPU load without ever reaching completion. The server fans ramp up, but the process appears to hang. Hardware transcoding is otherwise functioning correctly in other Docker containers on the same host. ### The OS that Immich Server is running on Proxmox -> LXD -> Docker Container ### Version of Immich Server v2.3.1 ### Version of Immich Mobile App v2.3.1 ### Platform with the issue - [x] Server - [ ] Web - [ ] Mobile ### Device make and model _No response_ ### Your docker-compose.yml content ```YAML # # WARNING: To install Immich, follow our guide: https://docs.immich.app/install/docker-compose # # Make sure to use the docker-compose.yml of the current release: # # https://github.com/immich-app/immich/releases/latest/download/docker-compose.yml # # The compose file on main may not be compatible with the latest release. name: immich services: immich-server: container_name: qdrop-immich image: ghcr.io/immich-app/immich-server:${IMMICH_VERSION:-release} volumes: # Do not edit the next line.

Although most videos were transcoded successfully, 16 failed. The process didn't fall back to CPU for these files; it just hung.

@MonkeySon commented on GitHub (Nov 26, 2025):

I occasionally run into this problem as well, with a Radeon iGPU HW transcoding setup.

Likely, this is a related (and unfortunately: yet unsolved) issue: https://github.com/immich-app/immich/issues/10560
