Progress indication transcodes

[Michiel.Schok]

It seems (no hard evidence available) that the progress indicator on transcoding jobs is always on 0%, till the jobs finishes.

Anyone else observed this?
Will investigate further tomorrow.

confirmed, status file is updated, however rest call not:

$cat TPTTeSZlLCMmeHHRjdI2tTw5.status
Status: transcoding
Progress: 0.632

I have fixed this issue. The fix in on my repository.
Please, check it.

PS. I have noticed that the status file is created at the very end of the transcoding process in my local version. It also can cause a problem, like this.

Yes, works.

Remember to add this patch to ffmpeg;

The status file relies on it.
