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

[mikehbkwm]

Welcome...

Are you sure that the IP address & port # are the same as the client machine ??

More often than not, Encoding Client detects the correct info, and you generally have to manually enter the servers IP/Port info (at least you've got them going) so you must be very close to getting it to work.

Might be an idea to post some screen shots of Encoding Client window (but don't post if directly here, as an attachment).

If you open Encoding Server, on it's own, it will display the Clients IP address...everything needs to match up for DE to work properly.

Good luck.

I removed the other computers and left just the main PC and the IP address matches what it's showing in the "settings" for the Client IP. As you can see, it freezes and does nothing. I am truly stumped as to what is happening.

[slalom]

It should be like this

192.168.1.3:1000

and you should see Encoding server in the taskbar with that IP address

[Atak_Snajpera]

Why do you hide local IP??????
Are you sure that encodingserver.exe started correctly? Can you show US what IP was detected in encodingserver window?

Guys, I apologize, as I stated above, I know enough to be dangerous. :) I am by no means a person who knows a lot about networking, etc. Right now I'm running with two PC's encoding as you can see with no problems but "Server 1" should be my main machine and as you can see the IP is there, but nothing happens.

Appreciate all the quick responses as I've been trying to get this to work now for some time.

BTW - for some reason on the main machine, I cannot open the "Encoding Server.exe" file. When I try to open it, it does nothing. However, I can open the "Encoding Client.exe" file on the main machine when Ripbot264 is not open. Don't know if that matters or not.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Known issue. Some software running in background is blocking encodingserver.exe. Try tuning encodingserver.exe in Safe mode.

[mikehbkwm]

HOLY SH*T!!! I got it to work. After you mentioned safe mode and I found another post from a while back stating a start up program was blocking the "Encoding Server.exe" from opening, I began narrowing the issue down. I went and disabled all start up programs (I only had 5 programs for startup) and found that my Razer Mouse software (Razer Central) was blocking it from opening. That doesn't make any sense as to why it would block the Server software from opening but it's working now.

It's INCREDIBLE having all four machines encoding at the same time. Thanks all for you help and finally figuring out what the issue is. This software is truly amazing!!

Well, an autoupdate for the 1st of May.

Core 01-05-2020, media info, mkvtoolnix (v46), hdrtools, rgtools, x264 & some plugin's.

[guest]

Are you using single machine for encoding or more in distributed encoding mode?

Hi Atak, just thought I'd bump this up from post #18491 (2).

I was (am) hoping for some feedback / suggestions for getting the best out of RB, and my new Ryzen 3950X.

Cheers

Just keep CPU usage at 100% ;)

Minor feature request for consideration: allowing to name individual subtitle tracks via GUI (E.g. "English (SDH)", "Forced Foreign Parts, and so on). I very often have to go through MKVTooNix GUI to name the track, though maybe it's also possible by tweaking jobX_MuxFiles.cmd, not sure. Perhaps some people would also like audio track names, but I rarely use them.

Also, I tried converting several HDR sources through tonemapping and comparing them to their official non-HD counterparts, and the colors (saturation, contrast, brightness) are always off. I saw that you recommended a tweak in the DGHable plugin, but it was for a particular situation and I'm not sure whether it would work on all HDR sources. Is it possible to automatically convert HDR to quality identical to that of an non-HDR release? My knowledge of the subject is very superficial.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Auto-tonemapping will never give you the same results as manually tweaked by human non-HDR version of the movie. BTW. DGHable is not used by ripbot264.

Damn, I really hoped there'd be an easy way to auto-convert HDR stuff... Thanks for letting me know.

Hello guys!

I would like to send a message to the creator of RipBot264.
I'm a happy user of this encoder, I already made more than 200 fine quality movie encodes with it. it's a great software.

Now I would like to have a small request for the next update.

Could you please completely remove the "Title" fields from the audio, video and subtitle tracks please?

I made a few images what I'm talking about:

https://i.ibb.co/xY5qMTy/Title-1.jpg

https://i.ibb.co/SvhF80K/Title-2.jpg

https://i.ibb.co/W6fH396/Audio-1.jpg

https://i.ibb.co/f2Lqyms/Video-1.jpg

The reason is simple: it's a bit annoying to see that there, no other encoder is doing that, only RipBot.

Please let me know if this would be possible in the next update.

Thanks
Greg.

I know RB264 can read webm/VP8 files, but is there a way to encode TO VP8/webm?

Hey Greg,

Welcome to the forum.

Just curious, what are those screen shots of ?? (not the movie, the "player"), and where is this "info" being displayed, that is annoying you ??

I've never had this "problem" !!

[slalom]

It is mpc-hc
I don't see that info in my player

[AmaZim20]

Yes, it's MPC-HomeCinema.

And I can see that info on the Properties tab in all my movies/videos encoded with RipBot.

[guest]

I don't understand why you are showing this info, what difference does this make to the playback of the movie file ?...it doesn't show it by default !!

Maybe you could try VLC or Potplayer.

[Ripmann]

Another minor feature request for consideration: Right-click on a job -> Duplicate Job.

Rationale: I often need to do several encodes of the same source using different settings. I do it to compare quality, but others do HEVC and non-HEVC versions or size-limited (4gb DVD)and CQ (12gb HDD backup) versions for example. Adding a duplicate job for the same source can take a while (demuxing, subs, etc.) It would be much easier to be able to duplicate the first job with all the subtitles, names and other settings, and just tweak the one or two values you want to change.

It doesn't make any difference.
it was just a small aesthetic issue.

Nevermind then.

(But it would have been nice to hear Atak_Snajpera's opinion on this)

Hey slalom, wow, you beat me to the punch...that IS exactly what I was going to suggest :)

Too easy !!

[SKPN]

I'm having a very strange issue that just started last night.

Any time I try to encode anything now, neither of my two encoding clients can connect, so the video is never encoded. Even the computer that is running the main app and creating the job is not connecting.

I know in previous versions, if there was a connection error, I would get a small yellow warning icon in the encoding client window, but that is not happening. I also have been unable to find any error logs or anything that might explain why it is no longer connecting. Nothing changed with my settings or network between when it was working yesterday morning and last night.

+1 on DE issues.

Below is what I am seeing from the TCP communication on the Encoding Server. It repeats endlessly and the Encoding Client is stuck on "Initializing encoding process..." This is true to local and remote machines.

143|CLIENT <- SERVER| ENCODING_PROGRESS=192.168.4.80:1000 -> Initializing encoding process...;CHUNK=6;CPU=0;RAM=21;DECODER=0;ENCODER=0;OTHER=0;ENCODING_PRIORITY=normal;
144|CLIENT -> SERVER| OK

@Atak_Snajpera Any chance RipBot could work with image sequences, like for example 6000 TIF files named sequentially?

Um, thanks for the suggestion but running jobs one by one and waiting for a job to finish in order to restart it with different settings... I guess it's a good advice for occasional encoding, but it's definitely not a solution for those of us who routinely run multiple jobs in a batch. A better a workaround involves copying the job's folder and auto-renaming all the job entries, but it's almost as cumbersome as re-adding same source as another job.

[slalom]

If you have 5 videos to encode to get 10 different videos (2 for each), you can start the first 5 and later edit them while encoding. I don't see the problem

[cypher007]

is there any way to pause encoding? or to have timed periods where it encodes and doesnt encode?

im asking as i have solar and this feature would be really useful for when im doing 4K stuff that takes 40hrs.

suspend ffmpeg.exe or x264_x64.exe or x265_x64.exe process. You could automate this task using Task Scheduler in Windows.

Hey cypher007, I feel your pain...

Are you using distributed encoding ??

You can stop DE any time you need, and 99 times out of a 100, it will resume from the last completed chunks, from the previous encoding "session".

I have taken up to 4 days (day time only) to encode some 4K jobs, by stopping (aborting) DE.

I too have solar, and I only encode during the day (if it's sunny), NOTHING after the sun goes down.

But seriously, 40 hours !!!!, what cpu's are you running ??

Atak's suggestion sounds interesting, but DE is a good one to get a handle on.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/pssuspend

This appears to be command line type process....arrgh :(

However, IF it was implemented, and you were NOT using DE, and you paused the encode by suspending those 3 executable's, would it then resume from where you paused it ???

Mind you, I doubt that you could then "back out" of RB, during this paused time, and expect it to resume again, when you restart RB.

Like I said in my previous post, at least there is a VERY, VERY good chance of resumption, when you abort the encode when using DE, starting from the last completed chunk.

So, I have to ask, how difficult would it be for you to implement a pause / suspend function, using the info the you kindly posted, as a feature of RB, keeping it within the program, and directly accessing the 3 executable's that need to be paused.

Just sayin' :rolleyes:

[Atak_Snajpera]

In practice you just need to suspend ffmpeg.exe (frame serving process). X264/x265 will pause as well beacuse IT will be waiting for new frames from ffmpeg.exe process. If you do not like commandline tool then use process hacker or process Explorer.

OK, well that's even sounds easier, but like I mentioned before, if a non DE encode was paused, would it resume at a later stage, providing that RB isn't closed in the mean time ??

You're right, I don't feel too comfortable with command line tool's, and it also seems to me that it could be done within RB fairly easily, by yourself.

Personally, I doubt that I would use it, as 99% of my encoding is with DE, and that it fairly manageable, in this respect.

Just another possible addition to the control of RB, that's all.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Yes it will resume. Just check yourself.

[GZZ]

When I "pause" the DE process, I just disconnect the servers when they have finished a chunck and when all servers are disconnected I stop the the encoding. Then I can resume it later.

It could be nice to have a button to cancel and wait for chunks to finish.

Yep, that's exactly how to do it.

As I haven't used RB for several months now, I'm a bit rusty on the function of those (Suspend Jobless Server, & Shutdown Server in IDLE State) "button's" in Encoding Server do...but I'm pretty sure they can't stop at the completion of a chunk. And there are no options for the main client (other that the 2 options on the main RB screen)

It would be great to have that option, with more of us doing 4K encodes that can take a long time, and don't want to just leave the pc(s) going until they're completed (energy conservation).

I'm confident that Atak could easily implement some more control functions into RB, but does he want to ...that's the question. :)

[aicjofs]

I probably haven't posted in over a decade but wanted to share another app the causes the EncodingServer.exe being blocked.

In my case it was AUEPUF.exe. Which is AMD user experience feedback. If you disable(leave the program) the feedback then the block is gone.

At least in Win10 go to the details tab in task manager and find encodingserver.exe and right click and select analyze wait chain. This usually will tell you what the Encoding Server is being blocked by.

[Ripmann]

If you have 5 videos to encode to get 10 different videos (2 for each), you can start the first 5 and later edit them while encoding. I don't see the problem

Sounds more like "not my problem". Your hypothetical scenario is not even remotely similar to the one I use (and even then, wouldn't it still be much more convenient to set up all ten jobs at once?), but thanks again for your feedback.

[slalom]

You can add a file twice

[ReinerSchweinlin]

Hy there,

Ripbot really has become a workhorse in my workflows and I can´t thank you enough for this wonderfull tool :)

I whipped up some old servers and cranked them up with a lot of CPUs to assist the encoding farm. So far so good. These servers now have a really nice "Sleep mode" with the ability for "wake on LAN". It takes around 15 sec. Until they are online.
Is there a way to tell Ripbot to initially "ping" a server to wake him up and then start the encoding? At the moment, Ripbot thinks it´s sleeping - the inital call does wake the server up, though, but not quick enough for ripbot top recognice it.
if I hit the button in the Encoding Client manually after a while, it picks the server up... Maybe simply ping all servers once before the initial "copy video stream to temp" process?

Thanx :)

Hi,

have been using RB for some time now. Apart from update problems when one PC was on a different version than the other PC for DE it worked really well.

I am mainly reencoding 4K UHD files to lower bit rates keeping all the pixel sizes etc. Only video processing no audio and subtitles etc.

Now since a while I have some really weird behaviours on certain UHd files when I am using DE, my main PC is doing fine all the time (8 Core 9900K), my second PC (4 Core 6700K) is doing strange stuff on certain but not all chunks.

The end result is a file that is playable but has some picture freezes in terms of decoding seems to have stopped for the whole chunk with a more or less black screen.

When I am letting my main PC process the chunk it does it correctly, my second PC does not. To compare it I let them decode the same chunk and am posting the .txt file here and hope to find a solution as to why this is happening and how I can avoid this. Both RB PC's are on the same version of Win 10 and same RB version with the latest updates.

As you can see on the second PC the kbps is very low, luckily I can see this on DE while it is doing the job and can prevent it.

Any idea why he does not weight the P-Frames here?

THanks for this great tool and hope to get it wokring for DE soon, help is very welcome.

On 6700k open "\\AQUAPC-9900\RipBot264temp\job5\Chunks\1.avs" in mpc-hc. What do you get ? Are you sure that both pcs have the same avisynth versions? Does regular mode (non-de) work on 6700k?

[Pino72]

Hi Atak,

thank you for your reply. Indeed playing back the .avs file on the 6700k PC is not working, just gives me a green screen. Playing back the same .avs file on the 9900k is working fine it shows the video. On the other side encoding the file is working locally on the 6700K just fine.

Any suggestions? Something wrong with temp folders etc?

I checked all Tools in the setting menu of RB and everything was on the same version number. Not sure if Avisynth is also listed there or if I should check somewhere else? On other files DE still works fine though but not on all, really strange. So its not related to this one specific movie.

I copied over the whole Avisynth and Avisynth Plugin folder from the ripbot tools folder from the 9900k to the 6700k PC...no difference.

Do you have this issue only in 4k/UHD resolution? Do you use GPU decoding or CPU decoding on AQUAPC-9900?

Yes only in 4K resolutions (so far at least, but not all 4K files), indeed I have everything on GPU decoding on the 9900K except for OTHER and everything on CPU on the 6700K. Using a GTX 1050 on the 9900K and a RTX 2060 on the 6700K.

I now switched everything on all PC's to CPU decoding and it seems to work now.

Have you tried auto reconnect option?
Thanx - that might do the trick, didn`t think of it. Will try when back at the rig. Thank you !
