RipBot264 v1.18.3 - Simple and easy to use GUI -> IPOD . PSP . CONSOLES . BLURAY

[guest]

Atak,

Just wanted to let you know that after updating with the very latest, if I'm not connected to any LAN, I still get the pop up error's stating :-

"List index out of bounds (-1)" I think it use to be (0).

But if I close Ripbot down, fire up the network (turn the switch on), then there's no problems.

PS:- I have only tried this on one pc, so far.

So the previous version of Ripbot i was using was 1.20 have just updates to 1.23 and now when i try and load a script from avisynth i get the following error, 'There is no function named 'FFMpegSource2' any ideas why im now getting this error message when i didnt in the previous version?

Did you have any jobs in the queue ??

Might need to reload any old jobs.

There have been a lot of changes, recently.

Might need to refresh the Avisynth install from the "Tool's" folder.

You need to adjust your scripts to 64bit, old version was 32bit avisynth

Ah had to get the latest release of AvsPmod from here which supports 64 bit plugins now.....

My computer is x86 and I'd like to use the latest version of Ripbot. I installed Avisynth Plus MT over 2.6 and I tried that AvsPMod but to no avail. I'd like to move past v1.19.6 of ripbot. Help would be appreciated.

Not sure if this will work, but worth a shot..

Get the latest version of Ripbot264 off page 1 of the forum, unpack it, enable auto update, to get the latest build.

Run "install.cmd" from Ripbot's "Tools/Avisynth" folder, and see if that works.

Another idea might be to upgrade to a x64 version.

Tried all that and what I said earlier. When I start it up it always says 'Avisynth+ MT x64 is not installed'.

OK, well that's a shame..

So what OS are you running ??

Unless someone else comes up with a fix, you may have to update to x64 :scared::angry:

Why don't you update to 64 bit?

[guest]

Well, I have just aborted the worst Ripbot experience, I think I've ever had !!!

I had a 4K Harry Potter queued up, downsizing to 1080p, with MDegrain, CQ 16.

I had 2 Server's going, as well, and ALL of them were just constantly stalling out and trying to restart, I could hardly keep up with watching it, it was happening so fast.

Client is W10, 1 server is Server 2016, other server is W7.

And to add to the frustration, after I aborted the Job for the 1st time, when I restarted, it started from the beginning :(

So I just turned everything off, in disgust.

I have no idea why this happened, everything was OK last time. (All using latest update)

Some time later (after I counted to 10).

I decided to go back into the job, and change some settings, and have discovered that MDegrain2 is the problem for all the stalls.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Were you able to capture error message in server window?

[guest]

Were you able to capture error message in server window?

Well, to be honest, that was almost the last thing on my mind, but I knew you'd like to see as much info/proof as possible.

I was getting a lot of those "new" flyout tab's that you've incorporated in the newest build, and that was just stating that server so & so of job #? had stalled, and at some stages these little flyout were so fast, they couldn't be read, and it was happening on all 3 pc doing the encode.

If you can suggest what you'd like to see, I guess I can enable MDegrain again, and do some screen grabs.

But like I said, disabling MDegrain, stopped the flyout's.

Another thing that I'm sure you're aware of, is an encode using MDegrain, can take a long time to start.

[Atak_Snajpera]

I'm surprised that those warnings were appearing so fast. Warning should appear only when there is no progress after 1 minute.

[guest]

I'm surprised that those warnings were appearing so fast. Warning should appear only when there is no progress after 1 minute.

So what do you want me to do ??

Would you be able to try and reproduce the error by using MDegrain on a short file ??

[Atak_Snajpera]

I would like to see what messages appear in EncodingServer window.

[guest]

I would like to see what messages appear in EncodingServer window.

OK, so if I enable MDegrain and start the job again, you want to "see" what those little flyout's are "saying", correct ??

Would the job .avs be any help ??

[Atak_Snajpera]

Message in EncodingServer window is what I need.

[guest]

Message in EncodingServer window is what I need.

OK, hopefully the attached link is what you're after.

Also, with the message in the bottom right hand corner, is showing "5.avs", the next lot of messages, the number changes until it's cycled thru the numbers of how ever many servers are active, except the one that is working, and it just keeps doing that, until you abort, and it will still do a couple more messages, then aborts, all jobs finished.

Hope that makes sense.

I give up. I asked for messages in EncodingServer window and you show me everything except what I asked.

Why do you use 5 servers on a single 24 thread cpu???? Two servers should be enough. Especially in NUMA mode (1 server per NUMA node). What you are doing is total overkill! I'm not surprised that script with mdegrian2 takes a lot of time to start in this case. (more than allowed 1 minute)

Look at this:
single server = 12 prefetch threads in avisynth + 36 threads in x264 = 48 threads

5 servers * 48 threads = 240 threads ! 10 times more than your cpu has!

I was actually using 6, screenshot missed one....

Point taken, I'll have to revise my settings, now that I am doing more 4K stuff, with mdegrain2.

[Atak_Snajpera]

It has nothing to do with 4k footage because you are still resizing to 1080p. The issue is that you are throwing too much on those poor 24 threads.
Other servers basically do not have access to spare cpu cycles to start encoding in 1 minute time limit. (hence encoding stalled message and forced restart in encoding server). Nevertheless I will disable this forced start by default in encoding server and implement command line switch so you can set your own time limit instead of current hardcoded 1 minute.

And MDegrain2 obviously really loads things up s lot, too.

Your option sounds good :)

But I'd still like to know what causes that "list index" error when you first open Ripbot, when its set in DE mode, and your not connected to any networks.

[mdchaser]

Awesome software but I'm experiencing a bit of an issue getting encoding to work after the latest update. I am running this on a machine with a single NIC/IP address. This is the error I get in all of my encoding servers:

Established connection with client... 192.168.42.6:1001
ERROR! File \\ACE\RipBot264temp\job1\Chunks\1.cmd does not exist!
Encoding terminated.

\\ACE is my domain name (using all domain joined systems) and not the name of the local machine! Any thoughts?

I can hit \\192.168.42.6 and access the ripbot shared folder so I think something is substituting my domain name for the computer name.

Thanks!

Are you using Distributed Encoding ?

There is a new setting that needs to be addressed, which may fix your problem. see:-

https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1852975#post1852975

This has actually changed a little, you'll see when you go to this setting.

And btw, if you were to start Ripbot without being connected to any network (not even the web) do you get a series of pop up error's stating something like "list index is out of bounds" ?

edit:- that error may not happen with the very latest update...

Apologies for being a bit "slow" with the info you wanted, last night (my time) :(

OK, today is another day, and there was an early auto update, so I have installed that on the "troublesome" pc, and everything seems to be running pretty sweet. No "list index" error's, and no time out's on the servers. (I've only got 2 running today)

So you mentioned you were going to add a command line switch to customise the time limit settings....where's that ??

edit:- forget the last sentence / question, as I have found it :)

So if this setting isn't applied, does that mean that there's no time out restart ??

Can you please provide an example of the command line for say a 2 minute delay ? (I'm lost with commands / dos) :stupid:
Server1CommandLine=/port 1000 /minimize /priority low /node 0 /port 1000 /restart-if-no-progress 2 ??

:thanks:

Thanks for getting back to me! I've already checked the IP setting, I have a single nic so my ip section is greyed out, I don't get the option to change it... The error implies ripbot is sending the wrong shared path to all of the clients.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Server1CommandLine=/port 1000 /minimize /priority low /node 0 /restart-if-no-progress 2
Correct. Server will restart encoding after two minutes of idle time.
If /restart-if-no-progress 0 or omitted then server waits endlessly.

Wow, well I can do things right, when I put my mind to it, thanks for confirming that.

And I have to say, whatever you did with the latest update overnight (my time), has worked a treat.

I had ZERO problems today, after a self imposed shocker, yesterday.

And I had it pretty busy today, and smooth as.

The "list index" error has gone...

:thanks::thanks:

[Atak_Snajpera]

Nevertheless please do not run 6 servers on 12C/24T cpu next time ,ok? 1 server per 8C-12C should be enough with active mdegrain2 in 1080p.

Yes, I think I've learnt my lesson on that one, and MDegrain2 on 4K will be a lot more strain.

And a question, how would a single 12C compare with dual 6C's ??

At least the dual has 2 Numa Nodes (if that makes much difference)

Hi, I'm a RipBot newbie. Could someone help me a little?

1. How can I use vapoursynth through RIPBOT?
2. I have a batch script to encode x265 video and how I use it in RIPBOT:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\VapourSynth\core64\vspipe.exe" --y4m "%~dpn1.vpy" - | "%~dp0Tools\x265.exe" --y4m --preset slow --aq-mode 3 --output-depth 12 --crf %crf% -o "%~dpn1.hevc" -

Thank you!

[Ryushin]

So I encountered something new sometime in the last update or two. When adding or editing a job the job window gets stuck and the only way to fix it is to close/kill the application. When this happens in an the avisynth window, and I go back into the job, the script only has one line like this:
Import("D:\Temp\RipBot264temp\job676\job676_a1.avs")
Cannot find a way to fix it, so I have to delete the job and add it again fresh. The new ability to move jobs is a huge welcome here as I can put the new job where it needs to go.

One time when clicking Done on the job window it got stuck, and I clicked Done a few times and it created additional jobs all the same job number. I had to edit the job list to clear out those bad jobs.

[legend]

How do I set by default audio=Amplify(audio,3.0).
All the time it needs to set manually in every file.

[mdchaser]

No luck after the most recent update, I'm still getting failures across the board when trying to encode. This is with all end points joined to a domain. Looks like ripbot is sending the wrong network path:

Here is an image that shows what happened after I clicked done on a job. I had to kill the main windows and thankfully the job was still there. It's freaking me out now editing a job as I might have to start all over. I think if it gets stuck when finishing the job it is still there. But if it get stuck at avisynth then the job is corrupted.

Well the one in the ripbot264 folder is still v25, and thats also whats listed under Settings --> Tools. Didn't know i comes with its one instance.
Does it bother RipBot264 that there is a second system wide installation of mkvtoolnix?
I only mentioned it in the first place since its the only thing that changed on my end since RipBot last worked...

As far as I know you'll need to use AviSynth+ and not VapourSynth, or use a different application that supports VapourSynth

No option right now, but after you load the jobs you can change the setting with a batch operation with NotePad++ by loading the .avs files with audio instructions. Personally I use a secondary program to handle the audio and then use a batch mux script to put the subs, audio, and video all together at the end.
