Big transcodes fail with Exitcode: 137 - SIGKILL
Open, Needs TriagePublic

Description

After T155750.

Now there are a few transcodes with time over 8h, but some are still failing: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Janmabhoomi,_1936.webm

Exitcode: 137
startwork = 20170121151803, error = 20170121235548
8 hours

137-128 = 9 = SIGKILL

Event Timeline

Hmm, maybe let's bump the limit up a little further. No sense spending hours transcoding just to fail the file. (Dialing this in is not an exact science; the wall clock and CPU times don't match up on a consistent ratio so you'll see some failures earlier, and others later.)
