Since many encoding engines run on Linux:
ps aux | grep sivr171
htop -p $(pgrep -d',' -f sivr171)
A healthy "work" state will show the process consuming 70-95% CPU during encoding tasks.
The sivr171dmp4 work process should run under a dedicated service account with least privilege: sivr171dmp4 work
Ensure the output MP4 files are encrypted. Version 171 supports AES-128 encryption. Add to your job ticket:
encryption: aes-128-cbc
key_rotation: 3600
To get the highest throughput from your sivr171dmp4 worker, apply these professional tuning strategies. Since many encoding engines run on Linux: ps
Do not trust the extension. Use a command-line tool (Linux/macOS/WSL):
file sivr171dmp4
Expected output: If it is a standard MP4, you will see ISO Media, MP4 Base Media v1. If you see data or raw, it may be encrypted or a raw stream. A healthy "work" state will show the process
Instead of processing one file at a time, edit the worker configuration to enable parallel threads.
