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

[TR-9970X]

I was afraid that you might suggest that. I have had already run into SMB sharing issues using Everyone with other programs which suggests that there is a new security setting (or bug) in 24H2, but so far I have not seen any way of determining which it is or how to fix it.

Well, now I'm glad I'm not the only one having issues with 24H2.

I have tried every fix I can find, regarding this issue, and nothing works. Except what I suggested.

Unfortunately your solution (clean install and then rebuild apps etc) takes a couple of days on my setup (I know i did it last November) so I think I will see if I can find anything with a couple of clean installs (23H2) and 24H2 and a something like regshot. Hopefully can find some time over the weekend and see if I find anything.

Yes I know it's a PITA, but it's the only solution I've been able to come up with that let's RipBot work properly...

Until some brainiac on this forum comes up with a solution that actually does work, then that's it !

I did not expect that...

Dear Atak Snajpera

There're some errors caused by the overlay script in RipBot. Sample video is here (1080p): https://mega.nz/file/QkpGETzI#7ud8IBgHZdinh0HGgOuBwFkZgi3sWNzGlgk1BgsfexI

A. Overlay's Scaling Factor Error (UNRESIZED)

The error appears, see this pic (https://i.postimg.cc/8PhqQ7r6/errorfhd.jpg), only at certain values ​​as shown below, it's when the video is NOT RESIZED.

| 0.03 | 0.06 | 0.08 | 0.13 | 0.16 | 0.18 | 0.23 | 0.26 | 0.28 | 0.33 | 0.36 | 0.38 | 0.43 | 0.46 | 0.48 |
| 0.53 | 0.56 | 0.58 | 0.63 | 0.66 | 0.68 | 0.73 | 0.76 | 0.78 | 0.83 | 0.86 | 0.88 | 0.93 | 0.97 | 0.98 |

B. Overlay's Scaling Factor Error (RESIZED)

Another error appears, also only at certain values, as listed below, it only occurs in conditions when the video is RESIZED from 1080p to a lower, either by selecting one of the predefined resolution options (i.e. HD-Ready 1280x720), or by specifying the desired resolution (i.e. Custom [1.78:1]).

| 0.04 | 0.07 | 0.09 | 0.14 | 0.17 | 0.19 | 0.24 | 0.27 | 0.29 | 0.34 | 0.37 | 0.39 | 0.44 | 0.47 | 0.49 |
| 0.54 | 0.57 | 0.59 | 0.64 | 0.67 | 0.69 | 0.74 | 0.77 | 0.79 | 0.84 | 0.87 | 0.89 | 0.94 | 0.98 | 0.99 |

Furthermore, the error occurs in two different messages as follows:

See this pic (https://i.postimg.cc/7LMmWvj1/overlay1.png), it's when the downgrade is done via the options: HD-Ready 1280x720, PSP, iPHONE 480x270, and iPOD 320x240.

See this pic (https://i.postimg.cc/rw4h5RJP/overlay2.png), it's when the downgrade is done via the options: Custom [1,78:1] and Custom [x,xx:x].
Would you like to tell me how do I fix that?. Thank you, Atak.

Cheers,
D

Okay - connect to ES is now fixed, password-less sharing is enabled and I am getting exactly the same error
Command "AUTHENTICATE" received from client
ERROR! File \\10.50.60.115\RipBot264Temp\job5\Chunks\1.cmd does not exist!

How did you eventually solve this?

So it appears to me the the main issue with 24H2 is if the PC acting as the DE client is a fresh install of 24H2. This is the PC where the ripbot temp folder will be located.
When I tested using one of my fresh 24h2 machines as a client, what I noticed is that the share permission is not being set correctly. On a box earlier than 24H2 or upgraded to 24H2, that share permission is set to everyone-full control. On the 24H2 PC from scratch acting as a client, the share permission on mine is set to "Builtin" with full control.

While the DE Client window is up and not connecting to anything at the start of a job, if you go into the share settings of the ripbot264temp folder and add everyone with full control, then connect each server in the client window, they will then connect and finish the job.

That share command must be sent to the folder programmatically at the start of each job, as once 1 job ends and another is started, the permissions reset back to "Builtin" and you would have to add in everyone again and repeat the process. I realize this is not an ideal work around....

24H2 must have changed something in the way someone can programmatically set a share permission.

This is a separate issue that may arise also, sharing without passwords with 24H2. I still had to turn off the smb signing on my server only fresh 24H2 installs to reach back to the client share.

Bottom Line is Microsoft really tightened down SMB with 24H2, and it is going to take some time and patience to work through everything.

This is my script for sharing C:\Temp\RipBot264temp folder (manually change it if it is necessary).
Paste this to notepad and save as ShareFolder.cmd . Run it as ADMINISTRATOR and check output messages.

UPDATE: Looks like Microsoft removed WMIC.exe tool on 24H2 !!!
running it as administrator, not as admin on both pc's gives gives system error 5 on the net share commands

on client that works:
D:\>net share RipBot264temp="d:\Temp\RipBot264temp" /GRANT:"Everyone",FULL
RipBot264temp was shared successfully.

On one that doesn't:
D:\>net share RipBot264temp="D:\Temp\RipBot264temp" /GRANT:"",FULL
System error 3 has occurred.

If I hardcode /GRANT:"Everyone",FULL in place of the /GRANT:"%myvar%",FULL
it appears to be OK

[rlev11]

the icacls lines work fine, under the security tab everyone has full control even when the share does not work

ok. So One problem solved. Time to bed now (it is after 02:00)...

[TR-9970X]

This morning (my time) the Atak & rlev11 show was back and forthing (as you can plainly see below) with this issue with RipBot and 24H2 (fresh install) not authenticating the shared Temp folder, and therefore not being able to start the encoding process.

Even tho I tried to join the "show", I was completely ignored, as I had found another way to fix this problem, due to what they revealed.

Turns out that you can very easily re-install/re-enable WMIC.exe for 24H2, and the RipBot issue is solved.

However, Atak has now figured out what needs to be changed within RipBot, which should also fix the issue.

I then proceeded to remove my post's, as they were ignored, and as a result were then irrelevant.

Can you get to the share from the other pc outside of ripbot?. so on your other server pc, right click start, then run. put in \\clientpcname or ip address\ripbot264temp. Weather that works or not will tell us where to go next.
Are you using a password to log into your client PC? If not there are some other things that need to be done. In advanced sharing settings, make sure password protected sharing is turned off. You may also have to run the powershell scripts to disable smb signing on both systems as well.

There in only 1 PC involved with RB - I am testing running DE on this PC, which worked before I needed to do a clean install of 24H2


1 can get to the share from the other pcs outside of ripbot
Password protected sharing is turned off
1 have run both Set-SmbClientConfiguration -RequireSecuritySignature $false and Set-SmbClientConfiguration -EnableInsecureGuestLogons $true


In theory everything that can be done on WMIC should be replicable by running a PS script, the problem appears to be 'which script'?

For now I have re-installed WMIC and sharing works. While this provides some breathing space, MS has made it clear that WMIC is on the way out and it seems likely the ability to re-install will eventually be removed.

If there is a non-WMIC solution it would be preferrable.

Not sure when you were running the script before manually. The only time it would have worked was while the DE encoding client window was active and the servers unable to connect and just spinning. Then without closing the encodingclient window click the icons to reconnect the servers.

ripbot sends that share command at the start of each job internally, so if you closed the encodingclient window, ran the script, and started ripbot again, it would not have worked since it was still using the wmic method builtin.

@Atak can you add check test to master folder "...\Chunks" login acces in Encoding Server ? (Logged/Not Logged)

On the “Encoding server” PC I have good access
\\DESKTOP-XXXXXXX\RipBot264temp\job1\Chunks

If I add just the username without password, I'm logged ?

What is your username in windows? show me TCP communication log when you use user name and password.

[bar72]

I was afraid that you might suggest that. I have had already run into SMB sharing issues using Everyone with other programs which suggests that there is a new security setting (or bug) in 24H2, but so far I have not seen any way of determining which it is or how to fix it.

https://www.askwoody.com/forums/topic/windows-11-version-24h2-has-issues-with-file-sharing/#post-2742838

Start, Programs, Windows Powershell, right click Windows Powershell and select "Run as Administrator". Enter these 2 commands in the powershell window and you should see your shares:

Set-SmbClientConfiguration -RequireSecuritySignature $false
Type Y to confirm the operation.

Set-SmbClientConfiguration -EnableInsecureGuestLogons $true
Type Y to confirm the operation.

Atak, thanks for the update. The EncodingServer option "/avisynth-setmemorymax 16" is much appreciated.

I have a small feature request. When demuxing from discs there is a option to extract the Core from the audio stream. So DTS-HD lossless has an option for DTS 5.1 compressed stream. Same goes for TrueHD.

I'd like an option in the Audio compression settings to include a CORE option above the COPY STREAM setting.

I normally always select the core audio when using MakeMKV to extract the TV episodes, but if I forgot to do that, then I have run a little script like:
for I in *.mkv;do ffmpeg -i $I -bsf:a dca_core -c:a copy $(basename -s .mkv $I).dts;done

Then I manually add the audio stream in the UI and make my changes. It would just be nice to have the Core option in the UI as well. Thanks much.

I have issues with distributed encoding. My client PC cannot connect the server PC. It tries to connect, displays "connecting" text for a short while, then the attempt disappers. And then tries soon again (I have automatic reconnect enabled), but no avail.

- I have rebooted both of my PCs
- PCs are on the same network
- PCs can see each other in the "Distributed encoding" tab. They have the correct ip and correct network adapter selected (verified by checking mac address)
- I have allowed them through firewall when it was prompted. Also I can see that both encoding client and server exe files are fully allowed in the firewall settings
- Authentication info (username and password) is correct

Client is Win 11 machine and Server is Win 10 machine, if that matters.

Running 1.27.4, all the updates installed that are provided by updater.

[Atak_Snajpera]

maybe you have to bind encoding server to different ip

[rlev11]

Atak,
Thanks for the update!!

Just so i am understanding this, we can now set the max memory individually for each server (in my case via command line) which takes control of it out of the script that gets sent to each server from the client. This is perfect for tuning individual servers with different cpu/memory requirements. However I did notice that if I hit edit script when I load up a job, the SetMemoryMax(8192) is still being populated in the #MT section. Will the individual server settings just override what is in the script on the client job??

If you open up the EncodingClient you will see the new options with the amount of memory being allocated. Very cool. Perfect solution to the problem.

Atak, I forgot mention that it wold be great to have the CORE option in the audio profiles. This way I don't have to de-select the DTS-HD audio track in MakeMKV and just let RB handle the audio decision.

Hi, Attack,

I noticed strange Chinese text next to window preview for windows 11 taskbar, and in translation it says strange and rude things,
how can I get rid of it, please?
