Fixing Problems
---------------

### General problems accessing a file

Due to the nature in which FFmpegfs works, if anything goes wrong, it can only report a general error. That means, when there is a problem accessing a file, copying or opening it, you will get a "Invalid argument" or "Operation not permitted". Not really informative. There is no way to pass the original result code through the file system.

What you will have to do is refer to the syslog, system journal or to the FFmpeg log itself, optionally at a higher verbosity. If you are unable to resolve the problem yourself, feel free to create [an issue](https://github.com/nschlia/ffmpegfs/issues), stating what you have done and what has happened. Do not forget to add logs (preferably at a higher verbosity) and if possible a description how to recreate the issue. A demo file that causes the error would be helpful as well.

### Transcoding too slow
