Faster-Whisper output "None" — log 400 "Bed request"

Conclusions / Next Steps 1. Jobs always end with "COMPLETED" but the transcript field is missing. 2. The logs show repeated Failed to return job results | 400 Bad Request. 3. I’ve tried: • Different audio files (including the sample from the GitHub repo). • Model sizes ("medium", etc.). • Logging results in Python (json.dumps(status_data)). • Checking container logs — it says “Started,” “Finished,” then the 400 error. Questions: • Is there an environment variable or config needed so the container sends back the text? • Is this a known bug in the pre-built faster_whisper container? • Any updated image or extra parameters we can pass to get the full transcription? Thank you for any guidance!

Faster-Whisper output "None" — log 400 "Bed request"

Debug Report: Faster Whisper Pre-Built Container (RunPod serverless endpoint: 5i9svwhqcoizei) Logs & Errors

2025-03-16  12:26:36.406 | error | wqnoc2kcx8qtzf | Failed to return job results. | 400, message='Bad Request'
2025-03-16  12:26:36.354 | info  | wqnoc2kcx8qtzf | Started.
2025-03-16  12:26:36.354 | info  | wqnoc2kcx8qtzf | Finished.
...

(Repeated “Failed to return job results. | 400, message='Bad Request'” lines) These errors appear each time the container tries to return the final transcription data. ⸻ Results from Python Debug Script 1) Job Submission:

payload = {
  "input": {
    "audio_url": "https://github.com/runpod-workers/worker-faster_whisper/raw/main/test/sample.wav",
    "model_size": "medium",
    "language": "en"
  }
}
resp = requests.post(RUN_URL, headers=headers, json=payload)
 => {"id":"b3fbc92d-97f8-4e5e-a115-a68fe83a4be6-e1","status":"IN_QUEUE"}

2) Final Status Check

status_data = requests.get(STATUS_URL + job_id, headers=headers).json()
 => {
   "delayTime": 1106,
   "executionTime": 62,
   "id": "b3fbc92d-97f8-4e5e-a115-a68fe83a4be6-e1",
   "status": "COMPLETED",
   "workerId": "wqnoc2kcx8qtzf"
 }

No "transcription" or "output" field is returned, even though it’s "COMPLETED". ⸻ JSON Parsing Details The final JSON (parsed in Python with response.json()) only shows metadata:

{
  "delayTime": 1106,
  "executionTime": 62,
  "id": "b3fbc92d-97f8-4e5e-a115-a68fe83a4be6-e1",
  "status": "COMPLETED",
  "workerId": "wqnoc2kcx8qtzf"
}

No transcription text is present.
