Try custom script

#Prefetch
video=Prefetch(video,12,1)

This would have to be added to an existing Custom script, 'cause that wouldn't show in the Custom script "list" !!!

It DOES show if added to an existing Custom script :), however, didn't make any useful difference :(

I've been testing a LOT of different settings, but for other reasons.

One thing I forgot to mention, which might be the best way to use this particular script, is ONLY run 1 encoding PC per chunk, it's when running 2 chunks on the same PC is when it's blows out the RAM.

[Guest]

Are you doing a deep dig to try to figure out why the 16 core Ryzens puke on 4k without using the "/avisynth-prefetch-threads 12" in the encoding server command line??

If so please keep us updated if you find a better (more performance) way to do this

The main reason I'm sussing this out is due to MAJOR RAM usage using that particular script.

But I might have to swap out the AMD cards in favour of nVidia, if I want ALL my client's to use DE, with CUDA based plugins.

.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 ...

OK, that makes more sense now. I always strip out everything but what I need prior to running through Ripbot so my brain needed some time to catch up with the possibility of multiple audio files in the source..:thanks:

[Epitaph]

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

"Full filenames"? Here is the most recent, it chose the second file over a .thd.

[Guest]

I thought there used to be a command for assigning a particular GPU (device id) to a particular command line...

What I'm thinking is, is it possible to assign 2 GPU's to the same "server" command line..for CUDA encoding, not opencl as shown for knlmeanscl.

Thanks for your help so far. This is what I get, perhaps you'll see something I am overlooking. Tried to include as much info as possible.

Will you be able to send me that particular mkv file. I just need a 100 MiB sample. Do not send me whole file.

I'm lost with this one

[Epitaph]

Ok... so it is, apparently, something in my installation. Hmmm

I appreciate you taking the time to look into it.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Try with something simple. Modify [AUTO] 7.1 or 5.1 or 2.0 profile and leave only .thd. Experiment with different text and see what happens.

Will try that next. I started basic, I downloaded Ripbot again and used a fresh folder, I just copied my ini files into it. Same result. Deleted my ini and let ripbot create a new one, chose the [AUTO] 7.1 and it did the same thing again.

Next, I ripped a new copy from my disc. The film comes with a 7.1 thd, a 5.1 ac3, a 2.0 ac3 (descriptive), and a 2.0 ac3 (Commentary). The first rip I stripped the 5.1 ac3 (don't need it). This time I included all audio in the rip. Ripbot skipped the 7.1 thd AND the 5.1 ac3 and instead chose the first 2.0 ac3.

Going to experiment as you suggested.

To add to the confusion. The test file I sent you, works 100%... thd track selected everytime. SO it must be something in the main video file doing it.

[slalom]

Maybe an option "use default audio" & "copystream" would be simpler for some users

[Atak_Snajpera]

Default profile [AUTO] 7.1 or 5.1 or 2.0 works exactly like that.

[slalom]

Last time that didn't work. I had two jobs with "no audio", but I found the audio by pressing the arrow.
Adding three new jobs now

[slalom]

So three jobs

First one, one audio and that was selected,
Second one, two audios, dtsma & ac3, ac3 was selected
Third one, three audios, dtsma & dtsma & w64, w64 was selected

Default profile [AUTO] 7.1 or 5.1 or 2.0 on batch mode selected

https://i.ibb.co/0hRxqck/ripbot.jpg (https://ibb.co/0hRxqck)

what is wrong?

Show me file names for each case

[slalom]

Here you are!

1_audio_English_DEFAULT.dtshr

1_audio_English_DEFAULT.dtsma
2_audio_English.ac3

1_audio_Russian_DEFAULT.dtsma
2_audio_Italian_DEFAULT.dtsma
3_audio_Italian_DEFAULT.w64

[Atak_Snajpera]

I see the pattern. For some reason always the last file on the list is selected. Hmmmm... Will investigate tomorrow.

[slalom]

Ok, thanks!

[Guest]

It would be a lot simpler to go back to v1.27.1.

Use MKVToolNix to remove & sort what you want, or don't want, before RB.

[Atak_Snajpera]

What happens if you just remove everything and just leave

1_audio

[Atak_Snajpera]

Third one, three audios, dtsma & dtsma & w64, w64 was selected
1_audio_Russian_DEFAULT.dtsma
2_audio_Italian_DEFAULT.dtsma
3_audio_Italian_DEFAULT.w64

Actually this a correct behavior.
DEFAULT is first on the list.
All files have DEFAULT text in file name so in that case the largest file is selected. I'm pretty sure that uncompressed audio is larger than dtsma.

Nevertheless case 2 is still a mistery for now.

[slalom]

No it isn't

1_audio_Russian_DEFAULT.dtsma 2.106.468 KB
2_audio_Italian_DEFAULT.dtsma 2.086.966 KB
3_audio_Italian_DEFAULT.w64 1.872.192 KB

All files have DEFAULT text in file name so in that case, MPC-HC plays the first in order

What about preffered format?

Is there something wrong with the preferences I showed you?

[Epitaph]

I see the pattern. For some reason always the last file on the list is selected. Hmmmm... Will investigate tomorrow.

If my problem and @slalom are related, I think that it is not the "last" file that is being selected, it would seem the "first" 2.0 track is being selected. I am, of course, assuming that his .w64 file is stereo. Otherwise I am at a loss.

[slalom]

You are not at a loss, it is 2.0

[Atak_Snajpera]

So it selects always the smallest file? Can you verify my guess? That would atleast explain slalom's case.

Update: If think I know what I did wrong. Function which calculates file size returns value as Int64 but other variable which I use for comparison was incorrectly declared as Integer.
Those two variables have totally different ranges

Int64
-9223372036854775808..9223372036854775807

Integer
-2147483648..2147483647

FileSize is Int64 but LastFileSize is Integer;

Everything was working "correctly" as long as file size was less than 2GiB.
I didn't catch that mistake because I always tested on small samples.

Another bug

if TheLargestFile=false then LastFileSize:=0 else LastFileSize:=MaxInt64; //should be True

if TheLargestFile=false then //should be True
begin
if FileSize>LastFileSize then
begin
LastFileSize:=FileSize;
Index:=a;
end;
end
else
begin
if FileSize<LastFileSize then
begin
LastFileSize:=FileSize;
Index:=a;
end;
end;

[slalom]

Looking forward to re-add those three files when the update is ready

[Guest]

I'd just like to add that with all the effort & discussion over the new Audio Preference's, anyone using the Segment edit function, will quickly realise that all these "fancy" audio tracks are next to useless, due to the required audio re-encoding to match the segmented edits, most of these formats are not supported :(

Not sure how many users use this Segment function, but IMHO, I think it's greatest improvement Atak has added to RB.

[Guest]

There is a new auto update !!!!

[Epitaph]

So it selects always the smallest file? Can you verify my guess? That would atleast explain slalom's case.

That seems to be the case. I was not looking at file size, so looking back at my original file (where track 3 was being automatically selected):

track2.thd = 2.99 GB (3,220,427,042 bytes)
track3.ac3 = 187 MB (196,854,528 bytes)
track4.ac3 = 187 MB (196,854,528 bytes)

[Atak_Snajpera]

Holly shit! You are quick! Files where updated just few minutes ago!

[Epitaph]

Update fixed the problem, just tested that same file and thd track was chosen automatically.

Thanks for your help with this @Atak_Snajpera

[Guest]

I know where to look !! :)

================

More info about latest auto update:-

Core:- v1.27.2 (01-05-24)
Encoding Client:- v1.18.4.0 (01-05-24)
Encoding Server:- v1.18.2.0 (01-05-24)

v1.27.2
Added: Enhanced filtering for AUDIO and SUBTITLES streams
Added: Multithreaded optimizations to speed up "probing" and "gathering information" stages
Added: EncodingServer now displays AviSynth error when encoder can not open script and then automatically disconnects.
Changed: EncodingClient autoreconnect interval increased to 5000ms from 250ms. User now has more time to check error messages in EncodingServer
Fixed: Audio was not extracted from some WMV

[slalom]

1_audio_English_DEFAULT.dtsma
2_audio_English.ac3
I just realised, first audio is selected but not copystream (ffmpeg 7.1). This is a 7.1

The other job has dtsma 5.1, and is selected copystream

[Atak_Snajpera]

Did you add 7.1 copy stream profile to .dtsma?

[slalom]

I think I just did, confusing settings

[Guest]

So I thought I'd spend some time trying to come to terms with this, and it is confusing the shit out me, it's not saving some of the setting's I change.

https://i.imgur.com/vPkVaRW.jpg

I have a simple clip with a 7.1 DTS audio, and I want to have 2 audio tracks, the 1st one converted to 5.1 AC3, and the 2nd as a copy stream of the DTS, so in the left screen are the changes I made, and saved everything, then I load the clip, and it's the same 5.1 AC3 for both the 1st & 2nd audio, so then I go back into the preferences, and lo & behold, it's showing the right screen, the copy stream has disappeared, and the 5.1 AC3 is there, instead.

So, am I doing something wrong, OR are there still some bugs that need to be dealt with ??

[slalom]

Same thing happened to me, after you fix everything and click ok, you have to save again in batch window

[Guest]

Be so much easier to just go back to v1.27.1.

Yeah I think it's ok now

Some DTSMA may have 6 channels so your rule is incomplete
use this if you do not care about number of channels

The audio in question was shown to be an 8 track.

So that option you suggest is a good to know, I will check this when I can, and report back.

:thanks:

[rlev11]

Atak, so just to be clear, if you want just copy stream regardless of channels, we should only put COPY STREAM without the channel definition in front of it (7.1,5.1,2.0)? If we leave the channel numbers, it would only do a copy stream if it meets the correct number of channels, so say a 4.1 ac3 would fail the rule and NOT do the copy stream.

So in the ini file instead of this:
.ac3=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;

we would just put this:
.ac3=C O P Y S T R E A M

and regardless of the number of channels, it would just leave it alone and copy the audio file in

[Atak_Snajpera]

this should be fine as well because I have never seen 7.1 AC3 in my life.
.ac3=5.1|C O P Y S T R E A M;2.0|C O P Y S T R E A M;

Like I said if you do not care about channels for COPY STREAM then simple .ac3=C O P Y will be enough. (yes even shorter version) Heck even .ac3=C O should also work ;)

It's "just" RipBot264.exe (core)...

Will see what this has done...will report back later.



By Jove, I think he's done it with this latest auto update :)

I think it will require a bit of personalization for each audio type you use, but it now saves the settings for that type.

Which makes my previous post irrelevant (probably delete it)

[slalom]

Well, again I have spent (wasted) another hour or so on this, and it's back to the drawing board AFAIC, I have tried EVERY suggestion, and it DOES NOT WORK !!!

It ALWAYS reverts back to what is shown in this post:-

https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=2001396#post2001396

It can't be a W7 vs W11 thing, surely.

UPDATE:- I've got it working to my satisfaction, HOWEVER, I have reverted back to the first v1.27.2 (23-03-2024), and it works a treat :)
Did you press "save defaults" in batch window?
