[fantasmanegro]

Finally got the update, approx 96Mb of new Ripbot goodness :)

hello, how did you get the new update?...

i have an outdated 1.19.3 ripbot and still not update :o

Firstly, have you got auto update enabled ??

Generally, if there is any update(s) available, and you're connected online, when you start Ripbot, it will "look" for any available updates, download them into the Updates folder, and then the next time you start Ripbot, it will do an auto update, using the files in the Updates folder.

So every time you start Ripbot it WILL "look" for any updates that Atak has submitted. Providing you're online, and have auto update enabled.

And yes, it's still 1.19.3 !!!!

[Ronski]

It's a little confusing that the version number doesn't update, I had to look at the date of the file which is date May, previous was March.

It will also only check for updates once a day.

yes! i have auto update enable and i am online right now... :o

In order to use DE with a Vegas Pro rendering, is an intermediary file necessary (MagucYUV) or can DE be accomplished with debugmode frameserver?

[Atak_Snajpera]

no you need intermediate file. BTW i'm not sure if ffmpeg decoder in ffms plugin can decode magicyuv. I recommend utvideo for de mode.

[silverback]

#Atak_Snajpera

Why is there still needed FFDshow and not LAV Filters??

I am curious about this myself. I know Atak has addressed this in the past but times change.

[jthekk2]

no you need intermediate file. BTW i'm not sure if ffmpeg decoder in ffms plugin can decode magicyuv. I recommend utvideo for de mode.I figured as much and perfect, UTVideo did the trick (MagicYUV didn't work with FFMS so it encoded locally)! Is it possible to extend that hidden "MoveMKVtoSharedFolder" setting to AVIs? I'd rather not copy a 150+GB file if I don't need to. I noticed RipBot is remuxing the AVI to MKV during the copy...is that necessary? FFMS should work naturally with an AVI file (tested and working with UTVideo at the very least). Not sure if the AVI container affects DE at all but I would think the proper indexing with FFMS and the AVS scripts would take care of the frame serving for distribution.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Update 2016.05.31
changed: Renamed hidden option MoveMKVtoSharedFolder to MoveFiletoSharedFolder.

Re-requesting a feature

about aspect ratio
I've met 2/1 ratio like House of Cards (1920x960)
and a 2.8/1 on some old movies

Is it possible to add those two ratios for a proper 1920x1080?

[jthekk2]

Just do not crop your blu-rays if you want full 1920x1080 frame.

Hi Atak,

I sent you a PM a few days ago asking about preview problems when using the 4K preset. You suggested that I change a setting in FFDshow, which I did, sucessfully. Thankyou.

However, when trying to DE some 4K encodes, the other servers, have some major problems, but the most obvious problem is that they don't start, in the queue, so there's something strange going on there, if you are using any other preset, it works fine.

The local machine encodes no problem, but there's no "help", from the servers :(

Can't explain it much better than that, sorry.

[userx]

@omegaeel
It doesn't work. The Ripbot264temp network share points to the directory with the job1 files, not the shared tools. Ripbot264.ini still lists StoreTempFilesin=TEMP

exactly the same problem but with different temp-drive. I searched for a solution for the "could not be indexed"-issue through the whole thread, downloaded a fresh ripbot-package but i couldn't figure it out what's wrong.

Running on W10, passwordsharing off, StoreTempFilesin=H
not working: "\\UX-MA\Ripbot264temp\Tools\AviSynth plugins\ffms\ffmsindex.exe" -f -k "H:\temp\Ripbot264temp\Job25\video.mkv
working: "\\UX-MA\Temp\Ripbot264temp\Tools\AviSynth plugins\ffms\ffmsindex.exe" -f -k "H:\temp\Ripbot264temp\Job1\video.mkv

How to get further with this issue? Anyone could give me support?! Thx

[Balthazar2k4]

Thought I would swing by here and ask if RipBot264 can encode to DD+ (e-ac3)? I have some 7.1 tracks I would like to convert from lossless to lossy for space and don't want to use aac for compatibility reasons.

FLAC is built in. Use MAKE MKV to pull audio with video and encode with RIPBOT264

run cmd.exe and then execute C:\temp\RipBot264temp\job1\Chunks\CombineAllChunks.cmd

And show us what you see.

[soneca]

Hello Atak, i am not able to convert flv files, RipBot264 does not detect/demuxing audio.
You could check this?

[Atak_Snajpera]

send me sample if you want me to take a look.

[slalom]

Can we select by default 2 encoding clients (or more) for each PC, every time we run the program?
Preferably the second client minimized to tray too like the first one

[Atak_Snajpera]

Sure you can.

Just create simple batch file
ripbot264.exe
EncodingServer.exe
EncodingServer.exe

[soneca]

Sent via PM.

ripbot264.exe

EncodingServer.exe

That sounds like a great idea, but excuse my ignorance, where do you put this "batch file", so it executes. ??

[slalom]

You run the batch file instead of ripbot264.exe

[Atak_Snajpera]

That sounds like a great idea, but excuse my ignorance, where do you put this "batch file", so it executes. ??

It does not matter as long as you have valid path to executables
for example

RunRipBot264and2Servers.cmd
c:\program files\Ripbot264\Ripbot264.exe
c:\program files\Ripbot264\EncodingServer.exe
c:\program files\Ripbot264\EncodingServer.exe

[slalom]

What about minimizing the second server, like the first one does?

[Atak_Snajpera]

What about minimizing the second server, like the first one does?

EncodingServer always starts in Tray (minimized) by default.

[slalom]

Yes, the :1000. The :2000 minimizes to taskbar

[soneca]

Thanks Atak!
The problem is that the demuxing is extremely slow to flv files.
For this type of file will extract before using FLV Extract. :)

c:\program files\Ripbot264\Ripbot264.exe
c:\program files\Ripbot264\EncodingServer.exe
c:\program files\Ripbot264\EncodingServer.exe

OK, I have to say it took me a little while to get this right, but I can only seem to get 2 encoding servers to start up, when I have 4, in the batch file.

Also, I put Ripbot in the Documents folder, which made it a little different.

[fatpizza]

I just noticed that when using Ripbot if I change the fps of a clip from 25fps to 23.976 the chapter times get sped up rather than slowed down. Is this an easy fix? Thanks.

This should fix this silly mistake.

I was passing wrong values to this tool
ModifyChapters.exe "original-chapters.txt" (SourceNumberOfFrames/SourceFPS) / (CurrentNumberOfFrames/CurrentFPS) "chapters.txt"

but it should be in reversed order
ModifyChapters.exe "original-chapters.txt" (CurrentNumberOfFrames/CurrentFPS) / (SourceNumberOfFrames/SourceFPS) "chapters.txt"

Thanks, I looked inside the tools folder earlier on and noticed this so I was fixing it up myself by running my own cmd file. But not having to worry about doing that myself is better of course. :)

[QUOTE=Atak_Snajpera;1768168]Added: hidden option to move mkv to shared folder. Following lines must be added manually to EncodingClient.ini

[hidden settings]
MoveMKVtoSharedFolder=1

Added: Updater automatically fixes corrupted updater.ini file
Fixed: Downmix 4.0 to 2.0 didn't work
Changed: In order to avoid language issues Encoding Client will share ripbot264temp folder using following command line

icacls "...\RipBot264temp" /T /C /Q /Grant:R *S-1-1-0:(OI)(CI)F

I manually shared the RipBot264temp folder and after client has started, the networkshare disapears again.
(On commandline icacls cmd is working)

Hello Atak_Snajpera, first I would like to forgive me for writing mistakes because they do not speak English (I'm Brazilian) and I'm using an online translator for that, I would say that I am a great admirer of his work and accompany the roughly six years, good will then ask you a layman's question because I do not know if you can:

You can direct more ripbot264 processing to the GPU than the CPU? I ask this question because the GPUs seem to be at higher evolution than the CPUs in a matter of processing, the latest generation of both Nvidia and AMD less lithography 16nm or 14nm had a brutal gain processing performance, you can use this processing in ripbot264 now or in a future release to reduce the load on the CPU? I'm sorry if I'm talking nonsense as I said I am a layman in relation to programming, anyway continue with your great work the ripbot264 is simply wonderful I love the function to use multiple PCs together to encode dividing the work.

Hello Atak,
It appears as though The Movie Database may have made changes to their API, your Download Poster application is no longer downloading posters. I have tried on three different computers and two different networks, you can query a title and a list of results will return, but when you select one of the items there is just the spinning wheel that appears with the Downloading... text that accompanies it.

[slalom]

Same problem here

[Atak_Snajpera]

Update 2016-06-25
Added: Option to run mutiple EncodingServers at RipBot264 launch. Following line must be added manually to ripbot264.ini

ActivateServers=x

where x is number between 1 and 10

The same effect can be achieved by running EncodingServer.exe with /instances x switch.

For example:
EncodingServer.exe /show /instances 2

Fixed: DownloadPoster has been adapted to changes introduced on TMDB website
Fixed: Various bugs in ModifyChapter tool

And it's now 1.19.4 :)

[slalom]

@Atak
Could you update the first page to the new version please?

[Grayfox]

I think I may have found a bug with ripbot(latest version).

I encoded some movie's in HEVC.
They play fine in WMP 12 after installing LAVfliters
But if I start ripbot the video no longer plays & the video will not work if until I reinstall LAV filters again.

Only reason I suspect ripbot is I can play HEVC fine until I start ripbot, but it might be a LAV filter bug as well.

My system specs
Windows 7 SP1 x64
i5 3570k OC to 4.4Ghz
8GB RAM
GTX680SC

[Atak_Snajpera]

Do not use wmp. Use mpc-hc which has already built in lav filters.

[Grayfox]

Thanks for the help.

I love ripbot.

Would love to see a pause function if possible for those extremely long encoding tasks and you have to put the PC into sleep for the night.

What sort of PC do you have, that you are doing extremely long encodes, that have to go overnight ??

Are you using DE ???, you can stop that, and resume, whenever you want to.

[guest]

Hi Atak,

I am having a really annoying problem, and I cant pin point when it started to do it.

I generally run several instances of servers, in DE mode, and I have noticed that for what ever reason, once I start an encode (or a queue), that I can't get anymore than 2 instances of "help" from another PC (or more), but I can have 5 or more on the "main" machine.

I'm pretty sure it hasn't got anything to do with the latest update, but have you made any changes that may be causing this behavior ??

It's annoying, as I generally don't have any weird problems with Ripbot, but this one is beyond me :(
