None. Encodindclient.exe executes that command file.

Ah, okay...I did NOT remember that correctly. Thank you.

It isn't RB if you've edited the update.ini file, but to answer your question: You can use it for LSmash for all except VC-1 or just MPEG-2, up to you.

I've been having some slowness issues and I thought it was more to do with LSmash but it doesn't seem to be...
I get about 1FPS using SMD in DE mode (1 encoding server) but about 7 FPS in non-DE mode with the exact same job. My SMD code:
Code:
video=video.SMDegrain(tr=3,thSAD=400,thSADC=150,refinemotion=false,contrasharp=true,plane=4,pel=2,prefilter=4,
Truemotion=False,chroma=true,hpad=32,vpad=32,str=2,amp=1)
(added line-break to help with horizontal scrolling
One thing I've noticed that the encoding server is spending most of the time in decoding mode and doesn't actually encode very much and if I have 2 encoding servers at some point it is common for them both to stall and just do decoding but at a reduced amount of CPU.
I'd post about this before and thought it was to do with QTGMC and SMD not playing well together but when I switch to non-DE mode I'm also seeing an increase in FPS for encoding.

Is there something I could do to help DE mode be faster?
I don't have to be in DE mode but I use it for two reasons to normally get slightly faster FPS (using more CPU) and so if I need to "Pause" during a job I can turn off the encoding server, or even reboot if need be.

Gigabit LAN but just one Encoding Server and it is local (all on the same machine as the main RipBot), so that seems like an issue with what the Encoding Server is doing, no?
-I don't recall seeing the same issues if I don't use filters, specifically MDegrain, SMDegrain, and QTGMC slower preset.

I'd have to go back and test with an older version of RipBot but at some point this started happening because I remember doing a lot of tests with Prefilter 3 and 4 on SMDegrain (CPU (3) and GPU (4)) and getting roughly the same speeds I'm getting now in non-DE mode that I was getting in DE mode with the older version.

I have core 08-23 and updater 08-24, yet changing to an older date in the updater.ini file still doesn't get me LSmash settings after many runs of RB as administrator or not. I'm still getting flickering frames.

Why don't I see the option for LSmash under settings and I don't have the ability to choose it when right-clicking loading jobs as described by "byteshare"?

-And I'm still getting frame flickering.

I get flickering frames using LSmash on AVC sources, but not with FFSM2.

Upgraded, had to reinstall to get it but I've got it

The weird behavior with chunks and indexing is gone - whew! However I'm back to my issues with KNLMeansCL - ugh! At first even my desktop that was able to run this code was giving me errors about not being able to access a "file". I switched settings such that both X264 and KNLMeansCL devices were set to the onboard Intel CPU, much to my surprise both my desktop and a client with a GeForce 680 began working - albeit VERY slow. If I stop the desktop and switch it to use the GTX 1070 for KNLMeansCL then the desktop begins working (about double speed) and the remote client begins failing! It looks like settings on the hosting machine affect clients and the client being set to use it's onboard card aren't obeyed Currently the single machine can beat the efforts of both machines working together so I'm leaving it alone (lol) but I'd appreciate some insight.

Setting the X265 accel to "none" results in both failing too... I'm also finding that aborting a job midway through no longer saves the completed blocks - that's a huge bummer! It might be because I'm swapping acceleration devices around? This job is FFMS2 based indexing BTW. I'm going to look for a post you made a bit ago that showed a commandline for specifying OpenCL hardware ID numbers. I'm betting that this isn't being drawn from the local machine doing encoding but from the server handing out the jobs. Maybe manually speccing it will help? On the tasking desktop the hardware ID I want is 2 so if it's sending a hardware ID to the other clients it'll be wrong depending on the machine - the 8700K I'm using as a slave doesn't have good enough video encoding on it's CPU apparently? The 3900X I've got but am not currently using has no video in the CPU so it's OpenCL ID will be 1 as well vs the 2 my tasking machine is using.

EDIT: Manually setting the device ID, to the one already set in RipBot on my slave encoder, got it working - whew! Now I want my 3900X back to fix it too lol. Hopefully this helps someone else out. Is there documentation somewhere on the various commandline switches?

P.S. a bug I think I have nailed down... Whenever you abort a job the next time you start it up it will fail. It fails because the tools folder is erased but not copied. The second time after an abort that you start it will work because it copies the tools over to the folder. So to test this I must abort 2x before I can get a good test.

Well, at least it works with FFSM2 for you now.

Oh, nice find. That explains some of the weird behavior I've seen when I was using DE mode, but I'm on non-DE mode right now since I have issues with things running slower in that mode.

When was LSmash introduced to RB? -So I know how far back to redo my collection with FFSM2.
