@gzz
1) code which replaces text is case sensetive! You wrote e: but IT should be E: in load plugin
2) If for some reason ffmpeg.exe still sits in memory with 0 % CPU then there is special switch to restart encoding automatically
EncodingServer.exe /restart-if-no-progress
Encoding will be restarted If encodingserver detects no CPU usage for ffmpeg.exe/x26x.exe for 1 minute.

1) casesensitive on folder. :( but thanks for pointing it out.

2) thanks for the switch, is there a list of hidden switches?

2) settings -> distributed encoding tab -> wrench icon -> command line help

You can easily check if restarting works by suspending ffmpeg.exe/x264.exe/x265.exe in processhacker/processexplorer. After 1 minute you should get this message

Thanks and Happy new year. :)

[ImEverlasting]

No, I posted it from a working build, just to help people in need.

I think the reason for it showing that I uploaded it today is, that I actually took it down, for a day or so.

Hey, you asked if anybody had a working version, and then you question it....:(

It's entirely up to you if you want to use it or not....I just know that at least 23 others have.

You're new, and I don't know you, either !!!

I know I asked, but it's me being cautious since it's not an "official" link from the original maker. I do greatly appreciate the help and will give your link a try tonight. :) :thanks:

My 1st post for 2020...

OK, fair enough, but seeing there isn't an "official" link to v1.25.0, this is the closest you'll get.

This IS the version I am currently using, and I'm not having any RB related issues, if you choose the 1st link on that post, the other link is an older build, but still v1.25.0.

I'm going to test that theory....I rarely see any pop up messages on W10 & Server...only on older OS's, like W8.1 (which is the oldest I'm currently running).

edit:- have tested this on several different platforms, and indeed, it does work for me :)

Atak,

Not sure if this has been suggested or asked about before...

Could this be done ?? (A bit like a Mining Rig)

If I wanted to load up a Server (don't want to do this on a Client, as I use different Clients, but use the same Servers) with multiple GPU's for certain filter encoding, what switches would be required to use them ALL ??

Would the switches only have to be on the DE Server, or some how on the Client ??

Have I answered my own question....

Using one or both "knlmeansCL-opencl-device-type GPU", and/or "knlmeansCL-opencl-device-ID 0 or 1 or 2", however they're numbered, and multiple lines, one for each device.

[guest]

Atak,

I have had a couple of strange drop out's today, and I'm really thinking that it a network connection problem (cable's & plug's)

Would you be so kind as to have a look at the 2 log files from 2 different servers, and see what you can see :-

http://www.mediafire.com/folder/fcqgg4c2b6qia/TCP_log_off_2_different_servers

Hint, the number in the .txt name is the line the problems seem to start.

I also had once more instance of a chunk showing "Starting" (on the Client), and on the Server, the TCP had stopped, but it was still processing.....so I let it go to completion...unfortunately it didn't actually complete that chunk, (as far as the Client was concerned) and it also didn't proceed to the next available chunk.

So I was in the process of posting this edit, and got another error..

But in the meantime, here's some more screens & tcp logs I would like you to have a look at:-

https://www.mediafire.com/file/fa55o1kjpnpm1bc/chunk_double_up_%26_tcp_log_to_suit.rar/file

And this is the error I just mentioned:-

https://www.mediafire.com/view/msggh3k101v62q2/and_a_final_error_of_the_same_job.jpg/file

another update on this last error...I re started RB for a 2nd time to finish chunk 116, and it did, and video.265 appeared...so it wasn't a waste of a 2 day encode :)

[guest]

Well, we've had a little New Years surprise....from Atak.

An auto update, core (01-01-20), ES (1.17.1). Not sure there is anything else, yet.

edit:- OK, I have found a few new filters, and MT settings.

There is now reference to MDegrain1, 2 & 3 available (in the Ripbot264.ini file, & MT filters), however, I cannot for the life of me find where they are to enable them....they are not in "Custom" or "Denoise" (only MDegrain2)

I hope I'm not missing something obvious ???

And best surprise of all, there is now a v1.25.0 on page one :) (and it's the very latest build)

I must say that it would have been extra nice if it was say v1.26.0 for the new year....but hey, it's only a number :)

:thanks::thanks::thanks:

I agree it could be nice if the About tab under settings was updated with the newest change and a Build number or better version tracking.

The issue with the Client shutdown hangs ripbot has been fixed in this or the previous version, but it could be nice to know when it happend!

I will have a look at MDegrain when I get home.

Atak: Thanks for fixing and hope you had a good new year. :)

Catching up on things...
I see RipBot264 v1.25.0 Core 2020.01.01 as the most uptodate, did the stalling/timeouts get resolved by this version?

So how would you set these up a a Custom filter ??
Still need help with this? I posted something about this when trying to help Ryushin: https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1892063#post1892063


While reading up on the discussion about turing hevc encoding vs x264/x265, I encountered the advantage of x264 veryslow mentioned by Atak over here:
https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=176889

So I started encoding tests with x264 very slow in ripbot.

I noticed, that encoding speed in ripbot differs a lot compared to hybrid:

ripbot (with 20 cores in total, using two xeons, kaby lake i5 and some others)
x264 very slow: 2 hours
x265 default: 1,3 hours

hybrid (only using the i6 Kaby lake with 4 cores)
x264 very slow: 1,1 hours

I am not sure if I am doing something wrong here´... Is it normal that x264 very slow is slower than x265 default?
I just did some more testing...
Hybrid and Handbrake encode almost as fast on the one i5 Kabylake as the whole network with Ripbot. Using the same settings (x264veryslow, no filter, no tune, no audio, simply passing through video..). I assume that there are different versions of x264 under the hood of each program, but this difference is huge. If I look at the encoding server on the i5, I have around 4 fps with ripbot, while hybrid and handbrake get up to 12fps...
What yould be causing this? I remember encoding some 1080p videos a while ago in Ripbot with x264veryslow and I had much faster fps... Running the latest Corev4 you posted above.
Have you done anymore tests? I don't see a speed difference when using x265 and filters with either DE or non-DE mode, if anything usually DE is slightly faster using a more constant 95+% CPU.

Welcome back byteshare, you have a LOT of catching up to do...

Haven't heard from you since last year, lol, your last post was #17979.

This version seems to be pretty good, there's only one question I have about it, and that hasn't been addressed yet.
(see https://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=1894495&postcount=18160).

No thanks, I got the filters figured out (with some help).

Hey guys,

So my first use of this build (in anger), and I could NOT get any Servers to connect to the Client...as soon as you choose what Server you want from the Client screen, it creates and error log in TCP Com's, and it looks like it's looking for the wrong port.

I have several screen shots that I hope will show what's going on..I don't know whether it's just me, or the HOT weather today, it's a baking 46° Celsius !!!!!

Anyway, here's the link:-

1) stop saying that EmcodingClient is listening at wrong ports. Everything is fine. Tcpservers on client use ports from 1001 to 1016. On other hand servers use 1000 to 16000 to avoid conflicts.
2) server can not Access that cmd file using network Path. Enter that Path in Explorer to see If shared folder is acessible.

Weather here in Poland is also weird! IT is 6C now and they predict 10C in few days. That's not normal here in January. We should have temperatures below zero and snow.

Fair enough, but when you get a very unexpected error, and you notice that the numbers don't seem to match, that's the first thing that comes to mind.

I wasn't aware it uses differing ports, in normal operation...one doesn't notice that, when everything is working OK.

I don't understand why I got this error today, when the last time I used RB (2 days ago) everything was running well.

The only difference being the latest update.

So I will double check the sharing, next time I using.

Personally I have been noticing global warming since 90s. We used to have always so called white christmas almost every year. Now IT is just a history. Every year winter is milder and shorter. Instead of winter we just have cold autum at the moment. Spring is also very short. Last year we had Rapid change from 10C to 20C+ in first week of april. In other words IT was sudden jump to summer season.

Changelog v1.25.0
Added: Audio profiles in Profile\Audio.txt
...


First of all, thank you very much for implementing my suggestion for the audio profiles. It's a fantastic addition. Now here are some issues I'd like to report (1.25):

1) Adding new audio profiles currently has no effect on the 2-Pass KBPS calculations with Lock Size on. To reproduce, add two new AC3 profiles to Audio.txt:
5.1 FFMPEG AC3 512 kbps [cbr]
5.1 FFMPEG AC3 576 kbps [cbr]
Enable Lock Size and scroll through the audio profiles. Original profiles (448kbps, 640kbps) will change the 2-Pass KBPS value accurately. The new profiles will default to the same incorrect one (higher bitrate than for 448kbps), and the size-locked output will be encoded at higher size than expected.

Note: this may only affect some 5.1 AC3 profiles because I don't recall noticing this with "2.0 FFMPEG AC3 384 kbps [cbr]". I've only done a handful of jobs with the new profiles, so it obviously needs more testing. I'll let you know if I discover new details.


2) The program still has a problem with Unicode characters. This is a longstanding issue, but I just retested it on 1.25.
To reproduce, rename a test file to "Tést.mkv". Add as a new job. The audio track list will be empty ([NO AUDIO]).

Related note: as I recall from long ago, having Unicode characters in the output's file name would cause another error during the muxing process. I'm can't test it now, unfortunately, but the steps to reproduce would be: have a regular input "Test.mkv", set the output name as "Tést.mkv", start the job, wait for an error on the final stage.


3) The program also has two slight problems with intentional periods in output names:

Everything after the last period gets trimmed. To test, try renaming output to "BAD.NAME" (without .MKV). It will save as BAD.MKV. To avoid the problem, the .MKV extension part should be added to the file's name: entering "BAD.NAME.MKV" won't trim the name but will show as "BAD NAME.MKV" in the job's window.

This is also a problem for titles that should contain periods ("Dr. Dolittle", "Mr. Robot", etc.). I love that the program auto-removes periods from input names on demuxing ("test.file.S01E01.pilot.episode" becomes "test file S01E01 pilot episode"), but ideally, once you edit it manually, it should allow and keep the changes you make.


I found these naming issues a long time ago, so now I just routinely remove Unicode and periods from names and rename afterward, but I thought I'd mention them nevertheless. Hope it helps.

[Ripmann]

Come to think of it, here's yet another set of non-essential but useful suggestions I'd like to mention.
1) Adding black bars to adjust resolution without resizing. Some players and filters (for example, FFDshow) only support resolutions that are multiples of 16, so if you have an input of something like 1916x1080, adding black bars to "round it up" to 1920 would be a better solution, instead distorting the video with resize.
...

I don't know if this is new or I just noticed it (sadly, it was probably the latter), but this feature request is completely obsolete. For those struggling with the same issue, here are the extremely newbie-friendly steps for adding black vertical borders to the sides of the video:

1) Go to ...\RipBot264\Tools\AviSynth plugins\Scripts\Custom\

2) Create a custom script, name it something like like AddSideBorders_2x2.avs. Edit it in a text editor to include this:
#AddSideBorders
video=AddBorders(video,2,0,2,0)(This code will add 2 pixel-wide bars to the left and right sides of the video and 0 to the top and bottom.)

3) In the AviSynth tab of the job, go to the second screen and select your script from the CUSTOM SCRIPT dropdown menu. Preview.


That's it. If you just want to add black bars based on the aspect ratio, the custom scripts folder already has AddBorders16by9.avs for 16:9. Copy it and adjust its values for whatever aspect ratio you desire.

I guess it would depend on the where you are on Earth, to the different way it's impacting the climate, you being in a colder climate would notice different changes to here in Australia, where it's a very different climate.

It's certainly not going to get better, any time soon (if at all), and I really pity the current & future generations growing up, and coming into this world :(

So enough of that doom & gloom.

Could you please give an explanation for this :-

[Atak_Snajpera]

There is nothing to explain.

There is nothing to explain.

OK, but there's a reference to MDegrain 1 2 & 3 in the .ini file.

There's exceptions for them in the MT section.

But where are they, to use / enable....they're not in the Denoise drop down, or in the Custom drop down.

Well, after a much cooler 25°C day, I have come to some interesting conclusions.

Windows Networks & Sharing sux !!!

One thing that really bugs me is when you can connect to another pc, from a pc, but if you try to connect the other way, from the 2nd pc, it won't "talk" to the 1st pc, even with ALL the settings identical.

Not sure if that makes much sense, but then neither does this behaviour.

I now know why RB & DE can have so many problems, with situations like this, and also poor cables & plugs, doesn't help.

I've just updated all the connections on my small encoding "farmlet", I'm now using "Teaming" on all connections, which should greatly decrease the possibility of disconnections & dropouts (hopefully).

2 out of the 6 servers I have in this "farmlet", have this bizarre network connection problem that I mentioned above, they just won't "talk" to the client.

But at least I got nearly half way thru my next long encode, so it wasn't all bad.

[slalom]

Check if they are in the same "home" network

[LigH]

Windows Networks & Sharing sux !!!

I can only agree, being a semi-admin of a small company. I know this "half-blind network" very well. Especially workgroups are unreliable, domains may be better.

[byteshare]

is hardware decoding gpu and software decoding cpu?
is there a diff in quality of end result?
Yes, hardware is GPU and software is CPU.
There should not be a difference in quality.

[Ripmann]

I'm also fairly clueless about the process. Launching or exiting full screen 3D applications or games often causes temporary blinking even on secondary monitors. Can such simultaneous uses of the video card affect the encoding results? Or is the process entirely self-contained and checks should only be run on more serious cases like driver crashes?

Other than that concern, the difference in speed is pretty amazing with my setup. With the GPU boost, HEVC encoding finally takes reasonable amounts of time. Great new feature.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Hardware video decoding is performed on dedicated ASIC not on some shader units in GPU.

[Ripmann]

Hardware video decoding is performed on dedicated ASIC not on some shader units in GPU.
I knew it ran through a dedicated circuit, but I didn't realize that the two were entirely separate. For some reason, I was never interested in delving into the hardware component of computing, so I guess I still see a piece of hardware as a single unit, where if one thing fails, it all goes down the drain. Don't get me wrong, I can follow the specs and build and troubleshoot a PC, no problem, but once under-the-hood micro stuff like transistors, resistors, or integrated circuits get mentioned, my mind sort of automatically becomes oblivious to the stuff. Thanks for clarifying.

[delacroixp]

I have a 60fps gaming sequence ... how can I Change/Decimate/Blend/ConvertFPS() downto 24fps.

The Decimate option in RipBot264 is greyed out.
I've never toyed with avisynth but I'm keen to experiment.
Also, how do I encode in CRF (constant rate factor), rather than CQ (constant quality).

It's my first time with RipBot ... previously with HDConvertToX and then Xvid4psp (which recently became donation-ware).
I love the app, esp the option to encode with GPU support (currently running on a dual core with Nvidia 710).


Thanks much

Perfect ... works very nicely indeed.

Is there an option for AAC-He v2 VBR ...
The VBR is useful in avoiding wasted bits during quiet moments and v2 uses 1 channel to replicate the stereo differences.
All in all, even at maximum quality the bitrate hovers around 48 kb/s (suitable for most PC or built-in TV type speaker systems).

Is it true that h264 encodes are more efficient with "width MOD 32 = 0" and "height MOD 32 = 0" ... ie width and height perfectly divisible by 32 ?


Thanks much
:):devil::eek:

[Atak_Snajpera]

Do not worry about MOD 32 thing. It is just a placebo.
Regarding audio bitrate. Fraunhoffer encoder does not support VBR. Just old good Average Bit-Rate mode. Besides You won't save huge amounts of space by going down to ~48kbps.

example
120 min movie
7200s * 8KiB (64kbps) = ~56 MiB
7200s * 6KiB (48kbps) = ~42 MiB

So with 2h movie you save just 14 MiB. That's nothing these days.

[LigH]

In other circumstances, CQ may not mean "constant quality", but instead "constant quantizer".

[Wishbringer]

And in RipBot264 it's (CQ) used to set -crf (constant rate factor)

So true ... everyone is going nuts about DTS (1,500 kb/s) , FLAC vinyl (3,000 kb/s) and 4/8k @ 60fps ...
that fighting over a few kb/s is really "penny wise and pound foolish".
Even the DL or storage of complete bluray ISO images (30+ GB) is getting more popular and
10 TB HDD's (see Storinator (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3X49SYvbo0&feature=youtu.be&t=171) link) are also becoming more affordable


In other circumstances, CQ may not mean "constant quality", but instead "constant quantizer".
When Dr DivX (https://sourceforge.net/projects/drdivx/) first came out, CQ (constant quantizer) was gaining traction (2-pass is still more popular) ...
but CQ bunched all the quality around one quantizer (as seen by AVInaptic, for eg).
At least CRF compensates for human eyesight by attributing bitrate according to perceived experience (a bit like what VBR does for audio).



I've been trying to encode a Pavarotti concert compilation, released on NTSC DVD (Duets - 2008) interlaced BFF.
How do I deinterlace ... and reverse telecine the 29fps downto 24.
Each time it's halved the video time ... from 1hr 10 min downto 35 min.

The Decimate window is active but Deinterlace is greyed out. I'll try the Decimate -> 23fps only.


Thanks much

[LigH]

You either decimate Telecine (originally progressive video with duplicated fields, removing the duplicates to restore the original progressive content), or you deinterlace regular interlacing (it was never progressive, the recording time advances from field to field). They are mutually exclusive. And Telecine only exists in the NTSC world.

Perverse norm conversion results are not mentioned here. Reconstructing those is a higher skill.
