[LigH]

If a virus is reported, then the report is "positive" (no matter if false or true).
If no virus is reported, then the report is "negative" (no matter if false or true).

The more I read "Generic", the more confident I am that it is false...

[Guest]

I'm a couple of days late (haven't been checking), but we have:-

Core (2024-04-14)
FFmpeg (from 6.1.1 to 7.0.0)
opus-tools (from 0.2.0 to 0.2.34) not really sure who uses Opus.
x264 (3190)
x265 (3.6+2)

Changelog:-

v1.27.2
Added: Enhanced filtering for AUDIO and SUBTITLES streams
Added: Multithreaded optimizations to speed up "probing" and "gathering information" stages
Fixed: Audio was not extracted from some WMV

PS:- if you thought the previous audio settings were complex, wait 'til you see what's been changed, now...

[Atak_Snajpera]

Works fine in win7. Does IT work in win10 at least?

[Ryushin]

So I have been trying to understand how all this works, WAY too complicated AFAIC, but I noticed this phenomenon when clicking on the any of the 6 settings sections...

It almost seems like it's supposed to be an info pop up, or something ?!?!?

The info pop up was not showing the text for me under remote desktop. I had to connect to the console of my VM to actually see what was written there.

[Baked_Bean]

Hi, could anyone point me to post with an explanation of the new audio settings or perhaps could create one. Thank you.

My windows 11 box is showing the popups in the audio preferences screen after I click on Create/Update button for a profile. all the boxes when clicked in will show the popup. Maybe video card/driver issue. I run an Radeon 6600XT on my client machine.

I think I have figured out the audio preferences for Batch encoding now for how I want it setup for myself. Although I only ever really use 3 stripped down profiles. An Xcopy Stream, a AC3 5.1 and an AC3 2.0. I just created the 3 profiles I needed that only have the 1 audio stream in the format I need and just removed everything else as I don't need anything with subtitles or more than 1 audio stream, and then removed the built in ones after I saved off the .ini files which are in profiles\preferences.

So I ended up with these files now only existing in profiles\preferences:

XCOPY Stream.ini

Although now once I closed Ripbot and opened it again, the 3 original .ini files that I removed from profiles\preferences have now magically reappeared. Have to figure out where/why they are being regenerated from on program start

[Atak_Snajpera]

Just in case if you user would like to check default values.

Btw.
Audio1FilterList=DEFAULT
Is kind of risky Because if audio file does not have this text then you get NO AUDIO.

My windows 11 box is showing the popups in the audio preferences screen after I click on Create/Update button for a profile.

Well, that is interesting, I run nVidia's on most of mine, although I do have 1 that has an AMD R480, but it still doesn't show the pop up's.

However, I tested on W8.1 & W10, and it worked :)

I have however discovered a work around for W11 (more about that later).

Yep, what a PITA....

Are you creating your own custom preferences ??

Then it doesn't matter what get's regenerated on every RB startup !!

Not sure why Atak is going down this path, there are already "newbies" asking how it all works.

Too many complicated options being added that aren't necessary IMO.

Might be better to stay on either 1.27.1. or the first 1.27.2, this one (for the time being) sux.

[Guest]

I tried different compatibility settings, with no success.

I ended up trying a "color" setting in RipBot's.exe, and that did the trick.

https://i.imgur.com/6fs3zV4.jpg

I am yet to do any encoding jobs with this latest build, but if it does make it trickier adding audio & subtitles, I'll just process video, and add the others later.

We'll see....

As history has shown, Atak is VERY good at adding all these "option's" with NO explanation, and "we" have to figure it out for ourselves :(

I am creating my own custom preferences as I said I really only need 3 audio choices with none of the extra settings. I was just trying to eliminate the extra clutter of having the originals in the drop down. It really isn't a big deal if they are there, single mode has a bunch of audio profiles I never used and I never gave that a second thought. It's just that everything else is customizable, I just want to see if i can figure out where it is regenerating the 3 originals from.

I think we need to just work through it and figure it out although it would be nice if we got a write up of what Atak is thinking how this all works and how to adjust the workflow to each users preferences. It does seem daunting, but it does add a lot of customization's in batch mode once we figure out how to get things setup right.

I am sure that I am in the minority where I only EVER do 1 audio stream, and I NEVER add a subtitle file into the mkv container. The only subtitles I ever do is foreign language forced subs that I render (burn in) directly into the video stream

[Atak_Snajpera]

Tool tips work fine in Win11

Tool tips work fine in Win11

Running Win10 on my VM. Changing the Remote Desktop color depth from 8-32 bit didn't result in being able to see the text inside the tool tip.

The only way I can see the text in the tool tip is to connect to the VMs console like you have done with the VMWare Workstation. Please try using RDP to the VM to see if the text shows up in the VM.

[rlev11]

Just checked and Tool tips work on all 13 of my Win11 boxes (not that they would need to...) which are a mixture of AMD,Nvidia, and Intel graphics. I connect to them using RustDesk for my remote desktop program and have no issues seeing them.

Well, it seems like there is certainly some inconsistency here...

Out of my 6 W11 boxes, NONE show the tool tips, unless I do the "compatibility" thing, my laptop does (W11), but W8.1 & W10 boxes do.

It's also a bit disappointing that out of the many, many users of RipBot, are not responding to this :(

Mind you, maybe many users aren't too interested in these preferences, I mean, once they're set, that's it, no need for the tool tips...you can easily edit the preferences in the new preferences folder under profiles.

I have to add, that it's a shame that there's nowhere near the amount of users posting here these days, back in the day, there were many different users posting comments, but currently (12 - 18 months at least), it's really only been 2 or 3 regulars.

Some have vanished altogether, some have changed to different app's, or maybe they've just lost interest, who knows.

[Guest]

OK, I have most thing's sorted, now, but to get the tool tips I have to do the compatibility setting (below).

I have created a 5.1(AC3).ini, which works for 95% of what I want, but can .THD or .FLAC be added, and if so, how ?

What would the Codec Priority be ?? or is COPY the only option ??

As I have commented on before, when using the Segment function, there's no way to retain any original .THD or .DTSxx audio.

And while I'm at it, why still no E-AC3, even 5.1 would be better than nothing.

So, more significant changes to the audio & subtitles preference's...

I'm lost :confused:

[rlev11]

So I think I have the new audio profiles stuff figured out. took me a while of head scratching until the light bulb went off and now it makes sense.
Lets take my workflow that I use as far as batch audio encoding. If it is in AC3,AAC, or Eac3, I want to to an xcopy stream and leave it alone. Basically anything else, I want to convert it to AC3, either 5.1 or 2.1 (don't care about 7.1)

So go into the preferences screen, and choose [AUTO] 7.1 or 5.1 or 2.0 in the lower drop down and hit edit. Under Audio1 the top box leave alone with the 3 entries. in the middle box the drop down that defaults at .aac hit edit and I will remove everything but 5.1 and 2.0 copy stream and hit save.
Then I will choose .ac3 and .eac3 and do the same thing leaving the 2 xcopy streams there (leaving higher channel ones at the top of the list).

So for all the other extensions in the drop down box, I will remove everything BUT 5.1 AC3 and 2.0 AC3

So when I am done, for any batch job I only have to choose the "[AUTO] 7.1 or 5.1 or 2.0" profile (can this or any other one in particular be set as the default somewhere???). With this setup it should (have yet to really test it but I think it is right) depending on the audio type encode in the correct number of channels as a copy stream, or do the conversion to the correct number of channels in AC3 automatically.

Atak, am I correct now in what you thought process is for this??? Now that I think I have it figured out, it is VERY powerful in how to get it customized to each persons preferences, just have to know the process. I also no longer have to do batches in groups of similar audio formats, I can load up a mixture of ac3,aac,dts,flac, whatever all in the same batch job, and the audio should come out the way I want it on each individual encode of the batch

[Atak_Snajpera]

I will try to explain with some example.
Let's say you want to keep DTSMA or TrueHD untouched but at the same time you want AAC as second track for compatibility reasons.
https://i.postimg.cc/T1Nw1g82/Capture.png

First we define which file extensions ripbot should select. first checks for .dtsma text in file name and then for .thd if first criteria is not met.
Then We define how we want to treat those audio tracks. If file extension is .dtsma then we COPY for AUDIO1 and encode to AAC for AUDIO2.
Obviously you have to do the same for .thd in this case.

[rlev11]

So the audio preferences scenario in my last post I just tested and everything came out as expected. I did have to add back in the 7.1 xcopy lines for aac,ac2,and eac3.
I batched a bunch of ac3,aac,eac3,dts,dtsma,and flac and they all either left the audio alone or did the correct conversion I was expecting.

So now that I have it figured out, this is pretty kool. With "[AUTO] 7.1 or 5.1 or 2.0" coming up as the default batch profile, I should never have to even change that no matter what the audio is on any batch job. So for the .ini file for that profile I ended up with this:

[Audio1]
File=DEFAULT;English;1_audio;
Ext=.aac;.ac3;.dts;.dtshr;.dtsma;.eac3;.flac;.mp1;.mp2;.mp3;.ogg;.opus;.thd;.w64;.wav;.wma;

.wav=5.1|FFMPEG AC3|640 kbps;2.0|FFMPEG AC3|256 kbps;
.wma=5.1|FFMPEG AC3|640 kbps;2.0|FFMPEG AC3|256 kbps;

[chainring]

Once figured out, this audio profiles feature is pretty cool. Anything in lossless, I encode to AC3. Anything in lossy, I copy.

In Audio 1, I put in the extensions for all lossless formats. For all the individual lossless formats (box down from Audio 1), I removed "x.x | COPY STREAM" and left only AC3. For any lossy formats, I left "x.x | COPY STREAM" and removed any conversion settings.

I'm sure I'll need to tweak for the very few movies where I've kept commentary or a second language track, but since I generally don't batch movies it's not a big deal.

[rlev11]

I think that for the next couple of batch jobs when they come up, I'll set it so it doesn't start encoding after the first job is listed, and then once they are all in the list just go in and spot check a couple of the jobs just to make sure the audio profile is listed correctly on each one before I start the encoding. I doubt there will be any issues and then just trust the process after that.

I'm suddenly have a very strange problem

I have 2 PC's virtually identical, except for the CPU & GPU, one will process certain scripts, the other errors, and just loops in DE.

Did a fresh Windows setup, installed what RB likes, still same problem.

While I'm writing this, I'm thinking it might be the GPU, even tho the script is NOT GPU dependent, but the PC's that work have nVidia, the one(s) that don't have AMD....

But then I remembered that rlev11 mentioned the other day that's he's running an AMD GPU...so it shouldn't be that.

OK, will give that a try...what am I looking for, tho ??

I have just been fiddling around with the latest Audio Preferences, and I'm still a little confused.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the previous build (14-04-24), you could simply add another ".ini" in the Preferences folder, and you could then choose that as the default in RB, but now it only seems to be [AUTO] 2.0, etc, etc... and you have to edit them, and save them.

But if you manually create an extra .ini file, and name it eg:- [AUTO] 6.0, it doesn't even show in the drop down list.

[Atak_Snajpera]

1) click edit
2) name it
3) save
4) new item should be added to combobox

Old presets are not compatible with new version that's why they are hidden now.

First thing I can think of to check is: Can you run the same script on the failing PC running ripbot client as a stand alone on that pc, NOT in DE mode.

Assuming the PC that is looping is just setup as a encoding server for DE. Is it an smdegrain script? Did you run the script to install the 3 Libfftw3f-3 Dll's on that PC. Pretty sure that is the only thing that has to be run on an encoding server to get it to work with an smdegrain script.

Also check to make sure you can connect to a file share both directions between the client to the server.

I've noticed quite a bit lately is that a chunk will be happily encoding, and for no apparent reason, will simply restart from the start of the chunk.

And one more, I have also been getting way too many Socket Errors, and it's mainly 100054.

Common Socket Errors and Codes

10001: This means host not found. There are a few things that could be causing this. The hostname or IP address could be entered wrongly. The server might be down. There might be a problem with your internet connection.

10050: It means that the network is down. This can be caused by a variety of things, but most commonly it’s caused by a failure of the network system, the network interface, or the local network itself. Basically, something went wrong with the connection between your computer and the server.

10051: If you receive a socket error 10051, it means that the network is unreachable. This usually occurs when the local software does not have a route to reach the remote host. To fix this, you will need to establish a route to the host. One way to do this is by using a VPN or proxy server. You can also try pinging the host to see if it is online. If you are still unable to connect, then you may need to contact your ISP or network administrator for assistance.

10052: The error is caused by a broken connection due to keep-alive activity detecting a failure while the operation was in progress. This can happen if the connection is reset or if setsockopt is called on a connection that has already failed. To fix this, try setting SO_KEEPALIVE on the socket. If that doesn’t work, try resetting the connection.

10053: This is usually caused by a software issue on your end. When you’re connected to the internet, your computer establishes a connection with another computer and they exchange data. If there’s something wrong with the connection on either end, it can cause this error.

10054: If you’re getting the “Connection reset by peer” error when you try to connect to a remote host, it means that the host has suddenly stopped responding or been rebooted. This can happen if the network interface is disabled, or if the remote host uses a hard close. Keep-alive activity can also cause this error if it detects a failure while one or more operations are in progress. In most cases, this error is temporary and will resolve itself automatically.

10061: Your connection is refused. The FTP server isn’t running or is not listening on the port you’re trying to connect to. Or a firewall may be blocking the connection – in this case, you’ll need to open up the appropriate ports in your firewall settings.

Ripbot264 1.26.0.7 runs fine whether updated or not. When updated, using autoupdate, it messes up other programs on my windows 10 i3 computer such as multiavchd(unable to mux menu and create playlist), airvpn eddie(can't use internet when turned off) and 7zip(extracting errors). I had to use system restore to have those programs run properly again. When installing ripbot no warnings came up saying that other software needs to be installed. I have one computer. Is it due to the later version of the program or the update process itself? Is autoupdate modifying files outside of the ripbot file? The program is great and handles videos that contain both 29.97 and 23.976 frame rates. Other ones that I have used, such as handbrake, don't seem to handle these type of videos without some dropped frames. The cropping function is great. It maximizes the size of the video until the top and bottom of the screen is reached (4:3) and adding the black bars to the sides. With widescreen formats it maximizes the size of the video until both sides are reached and adding black bars to the top and bottom. It maintains the aspect ratio. The preview script is great too. Before installing for the final time and not having other programs messed up, I turned on network block using the vpn software that I have. When running the program, I turned off autoupdate. Finally I was trying to have audio passthrough when trying to make an .mp4 file. No luck. So I finally tried .mkv which was I was looking for. Mkv contains the avc video and does audio passthrough, works fine with multiavchd and plays fine on my blu-ray player. I will donate now that I know the work around. Thanks.

Looks ok. I see no reason why audio with .dtsma extension would not be automatically selected.

So is it really necessary to have the dtsme file extensions in the File line if you also have the DEFAULT;English;1_audio; there. even if it isn't, it should still process dtsma since it is listed further down??

[Atak_Snajpera]

.dtsma=7.1|C O P Y S T R E A M;5.1|C O P Y S T R E A M;2.0|C O P Y S T R E A M;

That line tells ripbot what audio encoding profile to use when selected audio file Has .dtsma extension

.dtsma;.thd;DEFAULT;English;1_audio;

Is used for file selection only.

IT basicaly means if .dtsma text in file name is preset then select IT
Else if .thd is present select IT
Else if default text is present select IT
Else if ...

I have had a hand full of instances where a dolby digital track was listed as track 1 and the dtsma/thd track was track 2. I almost overlook it everytime and encode with the wrong audio.

@Atak_Snajpera, I am at a loss then. I had it happen several times this weekend, using those audio settings I end up with no audio selected. I am about to run another movie with dtsma and we'll see what happens.


EDIT: This time it selected the stereo commentary track "2_audio_English.ac3" and ignored "1_audio_English_DEFAULT.dtsma". Strange.

Show me full filenames of all audio tracks when wrong file is selected
