Maybe back then, FFMS2 was faulty, but the latest build, and BS appear to be "fine" (in your words).

Couple Years too late.

Just got this update, and sure enough, as others have mentioned, there is a virus type problem with both RipBot264.exe, and EncodingServer.exe, they were both quarantined, and you have to go in & restore them, so hopefully we'll only have to do that once.

So despite that, here's the changelog:-

v1.27.3
Added: Encoding error logging in EncodingServer
Added: EncodingClient can run custom script (EncodingClient.cmd) if EncodingServer detects an error during encoding process
Added: Errors can be also viewed in EncodingClient by clicking on red server label
Fixed: Randomly resetting progress in EncodingClient after restart

Can you please explain this new feature, and how to use it ??

EncodingClient can run custom script (EncodingClient.cmd) if EncodingServer detects an error during encoding process

Yes, the "virus" issue seems to be a little persistent, and even adding an exclusion for the whole RipBot264 folder does not remedy the problem.

Maybe being compiled on a W7 PC, with a totally different AV app to W10 & W11 PC's.....just thinking out loud.

I hope this doesn't break too may RipBot installs, out there :(

Yep, picks up Trojan:Win32/Phonzy.B!ml on ribbot264.exe and Trojan.Win32/Wacatac.B!ml on encodingclient and encodingserver exe's

Malwarebytes did not pick them up, only microsoft AV realtime protection

Downloaded the latest Microsoft Safety Scanner and ran that against it and it came back clean as well

I grabbed that app too, and it detected 1 infected file during the scan, but when it completed, it stated there were no issues.

Strange thing, I copied the updates onto the 7950X, and had no warnings, as I did on the W11 laptop, earlier.

:confused::confused::confused:


Microsoft Safety Scanner
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/defender-endpoint/safety-scanner-download?view=o365-worldwide 148Mb download.

UPDATE:-

Well after all that, I loaded a job into 1.27.3, and started the encode, and got all sorts of warnings, and RipBot264.exe, and EncodingServer.exe were being quarantined, so for me, this new build is unusable :(

1) Enable this option
https://i.postimg.cc/tCJTt5LX/Capture.png
2) open EncodingClient.cmd in notepad
3) Add your program you want to launch. For example you can use some program to send you a notification on your phone via email or push notifications.

@REM *****************************************************
@REM * *
@REM * %ERRORMESSAGE% -> encoding error message *
@REM * *
@REM *****************************************************
@REM <INSERT YOUR SCRIPT HERE>

MyProgram.exe "%ERRORMESSAGE%"

%ERRORMESSAGE% text will be automatically replaced by proper error message.

For example: 192.168.0.1:1000 [2024-05-30 15:09:00] JOB1/CHUNK1: encoding stalled: [13.1%] 187/1426 frames. Process automatically killed.

OK, thanks for that....one thing I just thought of, how to play an audio file if there's an error ??

What would be the command line for that ?? (Example please, with the audio file being in the main RipBot folder)

You might use a command line media player, like mplayer / ffplay / a system media call in a PowerShell script ...

Is there a way to test in from the EncodingClient.cmd ??

During encoding kill ffmpeg.exe
You may use this command
taskkill /IM ffmpeg.exe

Thanks again.

However, when I got the command line in the correct place in the .cmd, simply double clicking on the .cmd, it played. :)

And if it's left as is, (as shown below) the error message will be displayed as well as the sound.

What sort of a "watermark" do you want to insert ?? (sample maybe, but don't attach it with your reply !!!)

You need to figure out how to write your own custom scripts !!!

FTLOY,

I really didn't have time to look at what I had asked a long time ago. Please forgive me. So what I mean is using Ripbot to insert a watermark in the top right position like in this Netflix video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddbL9jvg77w).

Would you mind telling me the steps. What scripts are supported by Ripbot. I'm a newbie in this matter so I don't really understand how to use scripts in Ripbot.

Cheers,

Hi, I've never tried to ADD a watermark, so I will have to have a bit of a play.

In the meantime, someone else may suggest something.

That was a LONG script for a small job.

TBH, I didn't look thru it, except the path to the image.

It's just that when it wasn't displayed, I thought it might have been too big.

I'll try again, later, with a different approach.

UPDATE:-

OK, I've tried again, and again, and again, and I cannot get it to display anything, in fact for whatever reason, that script doesn't even import anymore (did last night on a different PC).

So that's all I can be bothered doing for this, as I will NEVER need to ADD a "watermark" to anything.

Having said that, I appreciate you following up on this.

I doubt that dipais will have much luck (but who knows)

It worked perfectly with just one try. All you have to do is determine the direct location path of the image used, as follows:

Image=ImageSource("C:\Users\Administrator\Videos\netflix.png",pixel_type="RGB32")

Well, that is what they call beginners luck....I have no idea why mine won't work...

Image=ImageSource("D:\netflix-logo-png-2570.png",pixel_type="RGB32")

I copied the whole script that Atak provided, changed the path to the image, and named the script Image.avs, put it in the Custom folder, selected in RB, and it doesn't even appear in the edit scripts window, and if I copy it in manually, the preview cannot render the file.

I wonder if the path doesn't like the -

Maybe try :-

ImageScalingFactor=32 #larger value = smaller image

I'm sorry, but I found the solution before you replied so I changed the content of my post. So it wouldn't be wrong to conclude that before I pressed the "save" button (during editing) you submitted the reply first :D.

FYI, I also found a solution for this matter :D. The steps I took were:

Create abc.avs then fill it with all the code from Atak above then put it in the folder: Tools\AviSynth plugins\Scripts
Create def.avs then fill it with the code below then put it in the folder: Tools\AviSynth plugins\Scripts\Custom

Import("%AVISYNTHPLUGINS%\Scripts\abc.avs")

Select def.avs in the "CUSTOM SCRIPT", then click the "Edit Script" button, then suddenly you will find contents like the following:

#Custom
Import("C:\RipBot\Tools\AviSynth plugins\Scripts\def.avs")
Hope that works for ya. Good luck :D!.

I think you'll find that this does not work, as it is reading itself, it needs to be abc.avs in the Custom Folder.

Anyway, I have wasted way too much time on this, and I don't have the motivation to continue, as I will never use it !!!

But having said that, when you get the .avs's in the correct order, AVSMeter shows an error in the abc.avs on line 41, which is :-

video=Overlay(video,Image,mask=ImageAlpha,x=ImagePosX,y=ImagePosY,opacity=ImageTransparencyFactor,mode=ImageMixingMode)

And if you play the video preview, it also errors with:- Cannot render this file.

Yes, that's right. That's what I meant. Thanks for the correction :D.

Problem?.

Yes, it turns out that I am facing a new problem that is almost the same as that encountered by FTLOY above. So, here it is...


SUCCESS?: Yes, if the video source is 8-bit then encode to 8-bit and 10-bit :D.
PROBLEM?: Yes, if the video source is 10-bit then encode to 10-bit :(. And the error was:

So my interpretation of that is that it works on 8 bit footage, but nothing higher ??

I'm pretty sure ALL my tests were of 10 bit video...

That makes me feel a LOT better about not being able to get it work as per both of Atak's samples, but if you think about it, and really look at the samples, that would definitely be 8 bit !!! it's anime/cartoon.

Convert the overlay image to 10bit, for 10bit base video

It would look something like this

Image=ImageSource("C:\Users\Administrator\Videos\netflix.png",pixel_type="RGB32").ConvertToPlanarRGBA().ConvertBits(10)

That is what "we" needed, works perfectly, thanks pdr.

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

@dipais,

I still need to do your suggestion for it to be used in the script...

https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=2002549#post2002549

It'll have to be a different script for 8 bit, though...

But we can't leave Atak out of this, he gave "us" the basis for this, just a shame it was only for 8 bit, as it turned out.

You can auto convert the image overlay to correspond the input base video bitdepth using Clip properties BitsPerComponent
http://avisynth.nl/index.php/Clip_properties

Assuming the input was 8bit RGBA image like a PNG, loaded with Imagesource(), it would look like


ConvertToPlanarRGBA().ConvertBits(video.BitsPerComponent)


Where "video" was already previously loaded in the script

And that also works well, and that makes the whole process a lot easier, simply one script to do either, unless the chosen image is different.

So thanks again, pdr :)

Just found out there's a new full build available.

It's based on Patman x264 & x265 builds, which means things work & display a little differently than normal, but there are some benefits.

However, there is an option to change it back to "normal".

There are also some updates, new scripts, new filters, etc, so read the .txt files !!!

Anyone that prefers the Lite build can use this to update their current setup, just use what you need.

There is now a new Lite build, up...

Using v1.27.3 for the first in "anger", and I like the changes that have been made to Encoding Client 1.19.0.0, it's "prettier" :)

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

Just after posting this comment, I noticed there was yet another small auto update...

Mainly adding a new script to add a Watermark/Logo/Overlay......I think you've borrowed the info from my posts with poisondeathray...you're welcome :)

There's a new folder in the "Profile" folder called "overlay", and inside that, another folder called "png"...I guess there needs to be a compatible file in there, for the new script to work.

Tested, the "png" is just a "default" location to keep the images.

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

Another thing that has changed is in the Avisynth settings, the "slider" now has 4 positions to accommodate the new overlay settings, which is where the audio settings were....now the audio settings are the 4th position. (looking very lonely)

I would suggest that maybe Segments are changed to the 4th postion, and have all the similar "looking" settings pages in order, positions 1 thru 3....

I've just got my first encoding error pop up message & "sound" (in my case)....

And this is what it looks like for those yet to experience it:-

https://i.imgur.com/5VNgnuF.jpg

Need to say, that regardless of the error, it started encoding the errored chunk, again, all by itself :)

To view the small error message left click on the (not red) server name text, not sure when it changes back to green.

And the way I configured the EncodingClient.cmd, I got an audio message as well, I was in another room when I heard it :)

However, the Job completed (or so I thought), and I had to "kill" everything, as Abort didn't work, and start the Job again, and it still had 6 chunks to go...weird.

And the server name text is still "not red".

NOTE:-

There's a new Errors tab in the Encoding Server window, which shows all the errors that have occurred, but there doesn't seem to be a way to clear them....

One way to clear the error logs, but it only seems to change the server name back to green, you need to go to the Temp folder, and to the job#'s folder, then to the chunks folder, scroll ALL the way down to the bottom, and delete the "errors" & processed" files.

Maybe there needs to be an easier way to clear the error(s)

If I were you I would investigate why x265_x64.exe didn't encode all frames. For start I would just use regular x265 builds...

I doubt that has too much to do with it, because I was having errors weeks ago.

Have tried several std & modded builds.

But it was cool to see your error msg .cmd work :)

You are using builds which do not correctly show progress. Why do you even bother with those modded x265? I think I will have to block those just to be sure that user is not wasting my time with false error reports.

It shows more detail, elsewhere...

There are some more advanced encoding options with the modded builds.

Don't take yet another choice away from the user !!

It's NOT wasting your time !!! I purely posted that error thing, to prove it works...thats all !!!

I did a search but my terms are broad so I didn't find anything exactly so sorry if this has been answered before. I'm on a new machine and using RipBot for the first time. It can encode extremely fast, but multiple CPU cores are hitting around 100. Is there a way to make RipBot run slower, or limit the performance? Like use 80% of CPU instead of 100% or something? I couldn't find anything in settings to I don't know this is possible. I don't mind if an encode takes longer, just trying to keep temps down slightly.

@essential,

Easiest way is to modify your Windows power plan.

Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Choose a power plan > Change plan settings (I use "Balanced") > Change advanced power settings > Processor power management > Maximum processor state > set to 99%.

The six machines I have participating in DE mode used to sound like a vortex, all spun up to 100%. Now, with them all at 99%, it's nice and quiet and I didn't lose any speed.

Nice, thank you. I will try that.

Agree with this, have done this in the past and I agree, didn't notice any real encoding performance drop. maybe a few fps at most. Will really help lowering cpu temperatures

What setting it to 99% does is limit the cpu's from going into their turbo or boost modes. Will just run at the stock max frequency.

Should be able to find instructions on the web, I don't remember now anymore how I did it, but I ended up making 2 power plan desktop shortcuts, 1 for 100% and 1 for 99%. made it easy to switch back and forth just by clicking the shortcut.

Exactly at 99% of the stock CPU clock. (on my cpu)

I wonder if the same rule applies to for example Intel 14900k where base clock is just 2GHz?

Is there a setting to switch off attachment parsing in general?

Encountered issues with attached fonts and whitespaces, so MKVExtract would fail.

A month on since that last update, and I am still getting random AV alerts on Encoding Server, which can be a pain when it's quarantined mid encode (like it just did).

But other than that, things are running pretty sweet, despite what some say....

Can't you just add encodingserver.exe to some whitelist in your AV?

I have Googled how to do this with Defender, and it's not as easy as it sounds.

The problem is that when you get a notification that there's a problem, you can "Allow" it, but this isn't a permanent "Allow" like most other alerts...it just likes to repeat, every day or so.

Windows Defender should support exclusions (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/add-an-exclusion-to-windows-security-811816c0-4dfd-af4a-47e4-c301afe13b26).
