+# Process Management: Reliable Transcoding Termination
+
+## Stash's Transcoding Architecture
+
+### Core Problem
+Live transcoding processes must terminate reliably when:
+- Client disconnects
+- User navigates away
+- Server shuts down
+- Network interruptions occur
+
+### Three-Layer Termination Strategy
+
+#### Layer 1: HTTP Context Cancellation
+```go
+// From internal/api/routes_scene.go
+func (rs sceneRoutes) streamTranscode(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request, streamType ffmpeg.StreamFormat) {
+    // Uses request context for automatic cleanup
+    streamManager.ServeTranscode(w, r, options)
+}
+```
+
+#### Layer 2: Context-Based Process Tracking
+```go
+// From internal/manager/stream_manager.go
+type LockContext struct {
+    context.Context
+    cancel context.CancelFunc
+    cmd    *exec.Cmd
+    mu     sync.Mutex
+}
+
+func (c *LockContext) Cancel() {
+    c.cancel()  // Signal cancellation
+    if c.cmd != nil {
+        // Graceful termination with timeout
+        done := make(chan error)
+        go func() {
+            err := c.cmd.Wait()
+            done <- err
+        }()
+        
+        select {
+        case <-done:
+            return
+        case <-time.After(5 * time.Second):
+            // Force kill after timeout
+            if c.cmd.Process != nil {
+                c.cmd.Process.Kill()
+            }
+            return
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+#### Layer 3: Centralized Process Registry
+```go
+// From internal/manager/stream_manager.go
+type StreamManager struct {
+    lockManager *fsutil.ReadLockManager
+    processes   map[string]*LockContext
+    mu          sync.RWMutex
+}
+
+func (s *StreamManager) Shutdown() {
+    s.mu.Lock()
+    defer s.mu.Unlock()
+    
+    for _, ctx := range s.processes {
+        ctx.Cancel()  // Kill all active processes
+    }
+    s.processes = make(map[string]*LockContext)
+}
+```
+
+## Key Implementation Patterns
+
+### 1. Context Propagation
+```go
+// Create context with cancellation
+ctx, cancel := context.WithCancel(context.Background())
+
+// Attach to HTTP request lifecycle
+ctx = context.WithValue(ctx, "request_id", requestID)
+
+// Use throughout transcoding pipeline
+ffmpegCmd := exec.CommandContext(ctx, "ffmpeg", args...)
+```
+
+### 2. Process Attachment Pattern
+```go
+type TranscodeContext struct {
+    context.Context
+    cmd        *exec.Cmd
+    startTime  time.Time
+    filePath   string
+}
+
+func (c *TranscodeContext) AttachCommand(cmd *exec.Cmd) {
+    c.cmd = cmd
+    c.startTime = time.Now()
+}
+
+func (c *TranscodeContext) Terminate() error {
+    if c.cmd == nil {
+        return nil
+    }
+    
+    // Send SIGTERM first
+    if err := c.cmd.Process.Signal(syscall.SIGTERM); err != nil {
+        // Fallback to SIGKILL
+        return c.cmd.Process.Kill()
+    }
+    
+    // Wait for graceful shutdown
+    done := make(chan error, 1)
+    go func() {
+        done <- c.cmd.Wait()
+    }()
+    
+    select {
+    case <-done:
+        return nil
+    case <-time.After(5 * time.Second):
+        return c.cmd.Process.Kill()
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### 3. File Lock Management
+```go
+// From pkg/fsutil/lock_manager.go
+type ReadLockManager struct {
+    activeLocks map[string]*lockEntry
+    mu          sync.RWMutex
+}
+
+type lockEntry struct {
+    ctx       context.Context
+    cancel    context.CancelFunc
+    refCount  int
+    filePath  string
+}
+
+func (m *ReadLockManager) AddLock(filePath string) context.Context {
+    m.mu.Lock()
+    defer m.mu.Unlock()
+    
+    if entry, exists := m.activeLocks[filePath]; exists {
+        entry.refCount++
+        return entry.ctx
+    }
+    
+    ctx, cancel := context.WithCancel(context.Background())
+    m.activeLocks[filePath] = &lockEntry{
+        ctx:      ctx,
+        cancel:   cancel,
+        refCount: 1,
+        filePath: filePath,
+    }
+    
+    return ctx
+}
+
+func (m *ReadLockManager) RemoveLock(filePath string) {
+    m.mu.Lock()
+    defer m.mu.Unlock()
+    
+    if entry, exists := m.activeLocks[filePath]; exists {
+        entry.refCount--
+        if entry.refCount <= 0 {
+            entry.cancel()
+            delete(m.activeLocks, filePath)
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### 4. HTTP Connection Management
+```go
+// Enhanced HTTP handler with connection monitoring
+func (s *StreamManager) ServeTranscode(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request, options TranscodeOptions) {
+    // Create context from request
+    ctx, cancel := context.WithCancel(r.Context())
+    defer cancel()
+    
+    // Monitor connection state
+    go func() {
+        <-r.Context().Done()
+        cancel()  // Client disconnected
+    }()
+    
+    // Hijack connection for immediate cleanup
+    if hj, ok := w.(http.Hijacker); ok {
+        conn, _, err := hj.Hijack()
+        if err == nil {
+            defer conn.Close()
+        }
+    }
+    
+    // Start transcoding
+    cmd := exec.CommandContext(ctx, "ffmpeg", args...)
+    
+    // Stream output
+    w.Header().Set("Content-Type", "video/mp4")
+    w.Header().Set("Cache-Control", "no-cache")
+    
+    cmd.Stdout = w
+    if err := cmd.Start(); err != nil {
+        http.Error(w, err.Error(), http.StatusInternalServerError)
+        return
+    }
+    
+    if err := cmd.Wait(); err != nil {
+        if ctx.Err() != context.Canceled {
+            logger.Errorf("Transcoding failed: %v", err)
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Next.js Adaptation Guide
+
+### 1. AbortController Pattern
+```typescript
+// pages/api/transcode/[...slug].ts
+import { spawn } from 'child_process';
+
+export default async function handler(req: NextApiRequest, res: NextApiResponse) {
+  const controller = new AbortController();
+  const { signal } = controller;
+
+  // Attach to request lifecycle
+  req.on('close', () => {
+    controller.abort();
+  });
+
+  req.on('aborted', () => {
+    controller.abort();
+  });
+
+  try {
+    const ffmpeg = spawn('ffmpeg', [
+      '-i', req.query.file as string,
+      '-f', 'mp4',
+      '-movflags', 'frag_keyframe+empty_moov',
+      'pipe:1'
+    ], { signal });
+
+    // Handle cleanup
+    signal.addEventListener('abort', () => {
+      if (!ffmpeg.killed) {
+        ffmpeg.kill('SIGKILL');
+      }
+    });
+
+    // Stream response
+    res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'video/mp4');
+    res.setHeader('Cache-Control', 'no-cache');
+    
+    ffmpeg.stdout.pipe(res);
+
+    const exitCode = await new Promise((resolve) => {
+      ffmpeg.on('exit', resolve);
+    });
+
+    if (exitCode !== 0) {
+      res.status(500).end();
+    }
+  } catch (error) {
+    if (signal.aborted) {
+      res.status(499).end(); // Client closed request
+    } else {
+      res.status(500).json({ error: 'Transcoding failed' });
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Process Pool Management
+```typescript
+// lib/transcode/pool.ts
+import { ChildProcess } from 'child_process';
+
+class TranscodePool {
+  private processes = new Map<string, {
+    process: ChildProcess;
+    startTime: Date;
+    filePath: string;
+  }>();
+
+  add(key: string, process: ChildProcess, filePath: string) {
+    this.processes.set(key, {
+      process,
+      startTime: new Date(),
+      filePath
+    });
+
+    // Auto cleanup on exit
+    process.on('exit', () => {
+      this.processes.delete(key);
+    });
+  }
+
+  killAll() {
+    for (const [key, { process }] of this.processes) {
+      if (!process.killed) {
+        process.kill('SIGKILL');
+      }
+    }
+    this.processes.clear();
+  }
+
+  kill(key: string) {
+    const entry = this.processes.get(key);
+    if (entry && !entry.process.killed) {
+      entry.process.kill('SIGKILL');
+      this.processes.delete(key);
+    }
+  }
+
+  getStats() {
+    return Array.from(this.processes.entries()).map(([key, entry]) => ({
+      key,
+      filePath: entry.filePath,
+      startTime: entry.startTime,
+      uptime: Date.now() - entry.startTime.getTime()
+    }));
+  }
+}
+
+export const transcodePool = new TranscodePool();
+```
+
+### 3. Connection Monitoring
+```typescript
+// lib/transcode/connection-monitor.ts
+class ConnectionMonitor {
+  private activeConnections = new Set<string>();
+
+  trackConnection(connectionId: string, process: ChildProcess) {
+    this.activeConnections.add(connectionId);
+    
+    // Monitor for stale connections
+    const checkInterval = setInterval(() => {
+      if (process.killed) {
+        clearInterval(checkInterval);
+        this.activeConnections.delete(connectionId);
+        return;
+      }
+
+      // Check if connection is still alive
+      // This would need to be implemented based on your specific needs
+    }, 30000);
+  }
+
+  cleanupConnection(connectionId: string) {
+    this.activeConnections.delete(connectionId);
+  }
+
+  getActiveCount() {
+    return this.activeConnections.size;
+  }
+}
+
+export const connectionMonitor = new ConnectionMonitor();
+```
+
+### 4. Graceful Shutdown
+```typescript
+// lib/transcode/shutdown.ts
+import { transcodePool } from './pool';
+
+function setupGracefulShutdown() {
+  // Handle SIGTERM (Docker, PM2, etc.)
+  process.on('SIGTERM', () => {
+    console.log('Received SIGTERM, cleaning up...');
+    transcodePool.killAll();
+    process.exit(0);
+  });
+
+  // Handle SIGINT (Ctrl+C)
+  process.on('SIGINT', () => {
+    console.log('Received SIGINT, cleaning up...');
+    transcodePool.killAll();
+    process.exit(0);
+  });
+
+  // Handle uncaught exceptions
+  process.on('uncaughtException', (error) => {
+    console.error('Uncaught exception:', error);
+    transcodePool.killAll();
+    process.exit(1);
+  });
+
+  // Handle unhandled promise rejections
+  process.on('unhandledRejection', (reason, promise) => {
+    console.error('Unhandled rejection at:', promise, 'reason:', reason);
+    transcodePool.killAll();
+    process.exit(1);
+  });
+}
+
+export { setupGracefulShutdown };
+```
+
+### 5. Health Monitoring
+```typescript
+// lib/transcode/health.ts
+class TranscodeHealthMonitor {
+  private healthCheckInterval: NodeJS.Timeout | null = null;
+
+  startMonitoring() {
+    this.healthCheckInterval = setInterval(() => {
+      const stats = transcodePool.getStats();
+      
+      // Check for hanging processes
+      stats.forEach(({ key, uptime }) => {
+        if (uptime > 300000) { // 5 minutes
+          console.warn(`Killing hanging transcode: ${key}`);
+          transcodePool.kill(key);
+        }
+      });
+
+      // Memory usage monitoring
+      const memUsage = process.memoryUsage();
+      if (memUsage.heapUsed / memUsage.heapTotal > 0.9) {
+        console.warn('High memory usage, killing oldest transcodes');
+        // Implement cleanup strategy
+      }
+    }, 30000);
+  }
+
+  stopMonitoring() {
+    if (this.healthCheckInterval) {
+      clearInterval(this.healthCheckInterval);
+    }
+  }
+}
+
+export const healthMonitor = new TranscodeHealthMonitor();
+```
+
+## Production Deployment

+
+## Key Takeaways
+
+1. **Always use context-based cancellation** for reliable cleanup
+2. **Implement three-layer termination** (HTTP, context, process)
+3. **Monitor resource usage** to prevent system overload
+4. **Handle edge cases** (network drops, server restarts)
+5. **Provide graceful degradation** when services are overloaded
+6. **Log termination events** for debugging and monitoring
+
+This approach ensures 99%+ reliable process termination even under high load or adverse network conditions.

+# Live Transcoding Progress Bar Accuracy - Anti-Jitter Mechanisms
+
+## Core Problem Analysis
+
+Live transcoding creates unique challenges for accurate progress reporting:
+
+1. **Duration Drift**: Transcoded segments may have slightly different durations than expected
+2. **Buffer Timing**: Real-time transcoding can't provide accurate total duration until completion
+3. **Seek Inconsistency**: Seeking to unbuffered positions causes progress jumps
+4. **Network Variability**: Connection issues cause buffering delays
+5. **Segment Validation**: Incomplete or corrupted segments affect progress accuracy
+
+## Stash's Anti-Jitter Strategy
+
+### 1. Precise Duration Extraction
+
+**From ffprobe.go** - Accurate duration calculation:
+```go
+// pkg/ffmpeg/ffprobe.go - parse function
+func parse(filePath string, probeJSON *FFProbeJSON) (*VideoFile, error) {
+    result := &VideoFile{}
+    
+    // Primary duration from video stream
+    duration, _ := strconv.ParseFloat(videoStream.Duration, 64)
+    result.VideoStreamDuration = math.Round(duration*100) / 100
+    
+    // Fallback to container duration with rounding
+    if result.VideoStreamDuration == 0 {
+        duration, _ := strconv.ParseFloat(probeJSON.Format.Duration, 64)
+        result.VideoStreamDuration = math.Round(duration*100) / 100
+    }
+    
+    // Store both for validation
+    result.FileDuration = result.VideoStreamDuration
+    return result
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Segment-Based Progress Tracking
+
+**From stream_segmented.go** - Atomic segment generation:
+```go
+// internal/manager/stream_segmented.go
+func (tp *transcodeProcess) serveHLSManifest() []byte {
+    var buf bytes.Buffer
+    buf.WriteString("#EXTM3U\n")
+    buf.WriteString("#EXT-X-VERSION:3\n")
+    buf.WriteString("#EXT-X-TARGETDURATION:2\n")
+    
+    // Pre-calculated exact durations
+    leftover := tp.videoFile.VideoStreamDuration
+    segment := 0
+    for leftover > 0 {
+        thisLength := math.Min(float64(segmentLength), leftover)
+        fmt.Fprintf(&buf, "#EXTINF:%f,\n", thisLength)
+        fmt.Fprintf(&buf, "segment_%06d.ts\n", segment)
+        leftover -= thisLength
+        segment++
+    }
+    
+    return buf.Bytes()
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Anti-Jitter Mechanisms
+
+#### A. Segment Atomicity
+```typescript
+// Frontend segment validation
+interface SegmentValidation {
+  segmentNumber: number;
+  expectedDuration: number;
+  actualDuration?: number;
+  isComplete: boolean;
+  isValid: boolean;
+}
+
+const validateSegment = async (
+  segmentNumber: number,
+  expectedDuration: number
+): Promise<SegmentValidation> => {
+  try {
+    const response = await fetch(`/api/segments/${segmentNumber}`);
+    const contentLength = response.headers.get('content-length');
+    const actualDuration = await calculateDurationFromBytes(
+      parseInt(contentLength || '0')
+    );
+    
+    return {
+      segmentNumber,
+      expectedDuration,
+      actualDuration,
+      isComplete: actualDuration >= expectedDuration * 0.95,
+      isValid: actualDuration >= expectedDuration * 0.8
+    };
+  } catch (error) {
+    return {
+      segmentNumber,
+      expectedDuration,
+      isComplete: false,
+      isValid: false
+    };
+  }
+};
+```
+
+#### B. Buffer State Management
+```typescript
+// From ScenePlayerScrubber.tsx - Smooth progress updates
+const useSmoothProgress = (currentTime: number, duration: number) => {
+  const [displayTime, setDisplayTime] = useState(currentTime);
+  
+  useEffect(() => {
+    const targetTime = Math.min(currentTime, duration);
+    const diff = targetTime - displayTime;
+    
+    // Only update if significant change or approaching end
+    if (Math.abs(diff) > 0.1 || targetTime >= duration - 1) {
+      setDisplayTime(targetTime);
+    }
+  }, [currentTime, duration]);
+  
+  return displayTime;
+};
+```
+
+#### C. Seek Position Validation
+```typescript
+// Validate seek positions against actual buffer state
+const validateSeekPosition = (
+  requestedTime: number,
+  bufferedRanges: TimeRanges,
+  duration: number
+): number => {
+  let validTime = requestedTime;
+  
+  // Find nearest buffered segment
+  for (let i = 0; i < bufferedRanges.length; i++) {
+    if (
+      requestedTime >= bufferedRanges.start(i) && 
+      requestedTime <= bufferedRanges.end(i)
+    ) {
+      return requestedTime; // Exact match
+    }
+    
+    if (requestedTime < bufferedRanges.start(i)) {
+      validTime = bufferedRanges.start(i); // Snap to nearest available
+      break;
+    }

+
+## Next.js Implementation Strategy
+
+### API Route with Progress Tracking
+```typescript
+// pages/api/transcode/[...slug].ts
+export default async function handler(req: NextApiRequest, res: NextApiResponse) {

+
+### Client-Side Integration
+```typescript

+  totalDuration: number
+) => {

+        }
+      } catch (error) {
+        console.error('Failed to check transcoding status:', error);

+    progress,
+    buffered,
+    isTranscoding,
+    videoRef,
+    quality,
+    setQuality
+  };
+};
+```
+
+### Advanced Anti-Jitter Features
+
+#### 1. Predictive Buffering
+```typescript
+// Predict next segment and pre-buffer
+const usePredictiveBuffering = (
+  currentTime: number,
+  totalDuration: number,
+  playbackRate: number
+) => {
+  const [nextSegment, setNextSegment] = useState<number | null>(null);
+  
+  useEffect(() => {
+    const currentSegment = Math.floor(currentTime / 2); // 2-second segments
+    const bufferAhead = Math.ceil(playbackRate * 10); // 10 seconds ahead
+    const targetSegment = currentSegment + bufferAhead;
+    
+    if (targetSegment * 2 < totalDuration) {
+      setNextSegment(targetSegment);
+    }
+  }, [currentTime, totalDuration, playbackRate]);
+  
+  return nextSegment;
+};
+```
+
+#### 2. Quality Adaptation
+```typescript
+// Adapt quality based on buffer state
+const useAdaptiveQuality = (
+  buffered: number,
+  progress: number,
+  bandwidth: number
+) => {
+  const [quality, setQuality] = useState('720p');
+  
+  useEffect(() => {
+    const bufferRatio = buffered - progress;
+    
+    if (bufferRatio < 0.1) {
+      setQuality('480p'); // Lower quality for poor buffering
+    } else if (bandwidth > 5000000) {
+      setQuality('1080p'); // Higher quality for good bandwidth
+    } else {
+      setQuality('720p'); // Default quality
+    }
+  }, [buffered, progress, bandwidth]);
+  
+  return quality;
+};
+```
+
+## Key Implementation Guidelines
+
+### 1. Duration Accuracy
+- Always extract duration from video stream metadata, not container
+- Use ffprobe/ffmpeg for precise duration extraction
+- Validate duration against actual transcoded segments
+- Handle edge cases (variable frame rate, corrupted metadata)
+
+### 2. Progress Synchronization
+- Use segment-based streaming (HLS/DASH) for granular control
+- Implement atomic segment generation (never overwrite existing)
+- Provide real-time transcoding status to frontend
+- Handle dynamic duration changes gracefully
+
+### 3. Anti-Jitter Strategies
+- **Segment Validation**: Only serve complete, validated segments
+- **State Consistency**: Maintain consistent state between backend and frontend
+- **Smooth Updates**: Debounce progress updates and prevent backward jumps
+- **Buffer Awareness**: Track actual buffer state vs transcoding progress
+
+### 4. Error Handling
+- **Graceful Degradation**: Remove incomplete segments rather than serving corrupted data
+- **Timeout Management**: 15-second timeout for segment generation
+- **Fallback Strategies**: Multiple quality levels for connection issues
+- **Recovery Mechanisms**: Restart failed segments without user intervention
+
+This comprehensive approach ensures smooth, accurate progress bars even during live transcoding, eliminating the jittery behavior common in streaming applications.

+# Next.js Adaptation Guide - Complete Implementation
+
+## Overview
+
+This guide provides comprehensive strategies for implementing Stash's media streaming architecture in a Next.js application, covering process management, progress tracking, and anti-jitter mechanisms.
+
+## Key Architecture Differences
+
+| Stash (Go) | Next.js (Node.js) |
+|------------|-------------------|
+| `context.WithCancel` | `AbortController` |
+| `http.Hijacker` | Request events (`close`, `aborted`) |
+| `exec.Command` | `child_process.spawn` |
+| `sync.WaitGroup` | `Promise.all` + process tracking |
+| File locks | Process pool + cleanup |
+| Graceful shutdown | `SIGTERM` handlers |
+
+## 1. Core Process Management
+
+### AbortController Pattern
+```typescript
+// lib/transcode/abort-controller.ts
+import { spawn, ChildProcess } from 'child_process';
+
+export class TranscodeController {
+  private controller: AbortController;
+  private process?: ChildProcess;
+  private startTime: Date;
+  private filePath: string;
+
+  constructor(filePath: string) {
+    this.controller = new AbortController();
+    this.startTime = new Date();
+    this.filePath = filePath;
+  }
+
+  async startTranscode(args: string[]): Promise<ChildProcess> {
+    const { signal } = this.controller;
+    
+    this.process = spawn('ffmpeg', args, {
+      signal,
+      stdio: ['ignore', 'pipe', 'pipe'],
+      detached: false
+    });
+
+    // Handle cleanup on abort
+    signal.addEventListener('abort', () => {
+      this.cleanup();
+    });
+
+    return this.process;
+  }
+
+  private cleanup() {
+    if (this.process && !this.process.killed) {
+      this.process.kill('SIGKILL');
+      this.process.unref();
+    }
+  }
+
+  abort() {
+    this.controller.abort();
+  }
+
+  getUptime(): number {
+    return Date.now() - this.startTime.getTime();
+  }
+
+  isRunning(): boolean {
+    return this.process ? !this.process.killed : false;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Process Pool Management
+```typescript
+// lib/transcode/process-pool.ts
+import { ChildProcess } from 'child_process';
+import { EventEmitter } from 'events';
+
+interface ProcessEntry {
+  process: ChildProcess;
+  controller: TranscodeController;
+  startTime: Date;
+  filePath: string;
+  quality: string;
+}
+
+export class TranscodeProcessPool extends EventEmitter {
+  private processes = new Map<string, ProcessEntry>();
+  private maxProcesses = parseInt(process.env.MAX_TRANSCODE_PROCESSES || '4');
+
+  add(
+    key: string,
+    process: ChildProcess,
+    controller: TranscodeController,
+    filePath: string,
+    quality: string
+  ): boolean {
+    if (this.processes.size >= this.maxProcesses) {
+      return false;
+    }
+
+    this.processes.set(key, {
+      process,
+      controller,
+      startTime: new Date(),
+      filePath,
+      quality
+    });
+
+    // Auto cleanup
+    process.on('exit', () => {
+      this.processes.delete(key);
+      this.emit('process-exit', key);
+    });
+
+    this.emit('process-added', key);
+    return true;
+  }
+
+  kill(key: string): boolean {
+    const entry = this.processes.get(key);
+    if (entry) {
+      entry.controller.abort();
+      this.processes.delete(key);
+      return true;
+    }
+    return false;
+  }
+
+  killAll(): void {
+    for (const [key, entry] of this.processes) {
+      entry.controller.abort();
+    }
+    this.processes.clear();
+  }
+
+  getActiveProcesses(): ProcessEntry[] {
+    return Array.from(this.processes.values());
+  }
+
+  getStats() {
+    return {
+      active: this.processes.size,
+      max: this.maxProcesses,
+      uptime: Array.from(this.processes.values()).map(p => ({
+        filePath: p.filePath,
+        quality: p.quality,
+        uptime: Date.now() - p.startTime.getTime()
+      }))
+    };
+  }
+}
+
+export const transcodePool = new TranscodeProcessPool();
+```

+## 3. Progress Tracking with Anti-Jitter
+
+### React Hook Implementation

+## 7. Testing Strategy
+
+### Unit Tests
+```typescript
+// __tests__/transcode-controller.test.ts
+import { TranscodeController } from '../lib/transcode/abort-controller';
+
+describe('TranscodeController', () => {
+  it('should start and abort transcoding', async () => {
+    const controller = new TranscodeController('test.mp4');
+    const process = await controller.startTranscode(['-i', 'test.mp4', '-f', 'null', '-']);
+    
+    expect(controller.isRunning()).toBe(true);

+    controller.abort();
+    
+    // Wait for process to exit
+    await new Promise(resolve => process.on('exit', resolve));
+    
+    expect(controller.isRunning()).toBe(false);
+  });
+
+  it('should handle process timeout', async () => {

+    
+    const exitCode = await new Promise(resolve => process.on('exit', resolve));
+    expect(exitCode).toBe(1);
+  });
+});
+```
+
+### Integration Tests
+```typescript
+// __tests__/api-transcode.test.ts
+import { createServer } from 'http';
+import request from 'supertest';
+import { parse } from 'url';
+import next from 'next';
+
+describe('/api/transcode', () => {
+  let server: any;
+
+  beforeAll(async () => {
+    const app = next({ dev: false });
+    await app.prepare();
+    
+    server = createServer((req, res) => {
+      const parsedUrl = parse(req.url, true);
+      app.getRequestHandler()(req, res, parsedUrl);
+    });
+  });
+
+  afterAll(() => {

+
+## 8. Performance Optimization
+
+### Caching Strategy
+```typescript
+// lib/cache/transcode-cache.ts
+import NodeCache from 'node-cache';
+
+export class TranscodeCache {
+  private cache = new NodeCache({
+    stdTTL: 3600, // 1 hour
+    checkperiod: 600, // 10 minutes
+    maxKeys: 1000
+  });
+
+  get(key: string): Buffer | undefined {
+    return this.cache.get(key);
+  }
+
+  set(key: string, data: Buffer, ttl?: number): boolean {
+    return this.cache.set(key, data, ttl);
+  }
+
+  has(key: string): boolean {
+    return this.cache.has(key);
+  }
+
+  delete(key: string): number {
+    return this.cache.del(key);
+  }
+
+  getStats() {
+    return this.cache.getStats();
+  }
+}
+
+export const transcodeCache = new TranscodeCache();
+```
+
+### Rate Limiting
+```typescript
+// lib/middleware/rate-limit.ts
+import rateLimit from 'express-rate-limit';
+
+export const transcodeRateLimit = rateLimit({
+  windowMs: 15 * 60 * 1000, // 15 minutes
+  max: 100, // Limit each IP to 100 requests per windowMs
+  message: 'Too many transcode requests',
+  standardHeaders: true,
+  legacyHeaders: false,
+});
+```
+
+This comprehensive Next.js adaptation provides all the components needed to implement Stash's reliable transcoding system with modern Node.js patterns and Next.js optimizations.
