I deactivated the card which is not used.
Wouldn't it be possible to add the reading of "EncodingClient.ini" to retrieve the IP or choose a ComboBox allowing this choice?

So what I do is in my ripbot.ini file I have this line:
Server1CommandLine=/ip 192.168.1.201 /port 1000 /priority normal /restart-if-no-progress /avisynth-prefetch-threads 0 /x264-threads 32 /x265-threads 32 /avisynth-setmemorymax 16

This sets the server to use the proper ip address upon ripbot startup and open the server window on the desktop.
then in my encodingclient.ini I have :
[settings]
ClientIP=192.168.1.201

and then again under server ip address section I have this:
ServerIP1=192.168.1.201:1000

I am interested in using this obscure utility to post process an encode by opening FFMPEG to re-encode to a different container that RipBot does not support.

Job finished successfully.cmd

What would be the process to make this use a "freshly" encoded file to then open up FFMPEG, and use a pre determined commandline to convert that file ?

How to specify the actual file to be used, and could it be set up to run a series of processes without having to change it for every encode ?

I can manually run that .cmd, and it does the desired process, but getting it automated is the question here... :confused: :confused:

This is the first part of the command line..

You know, with the fiddling around I've been doing with this over the last few days has shown me just how easy it would be to have several different encoding options out of RB, instead of just "boring" x265...

FFMPEG can do a LOT more stuff that what RB has it doing...video & audio !

And speaking of audio, the latest auto update has addressed the "core" option from ripped disks..

Thank you for adding the default of /avisynth-setmemorymax to 0 (max), this has improved FPS for specifically filter heavy content massively.
In some cases I've already seen a change from ~0.08 to ~1.48 FPS.

You may get better performance by using a certain number, instead of 0, depending on your hardware.

And I think you will find it's NOT a default setting, you need to add it to the command line.

True, a none zero might be better, I'll have to play with that.

At least on my system, it does default to zero if I don't define it, which by default it isn't getting defined since my guess is I already had encoding server settings define.

I built a mini PC for an end user and the AMD Ryzen processor was spinning the fan too much. I used the trick in power settings to lower the percentage to 95% and that seem to work keeping fan ramping up too much. Even using Ryzen Master and setting Eco mode didn't help much.

But I also stumbled upon a nice little program call Universal X86 Tuning Utility which was originally made to tune Ryzen processor. I installed it, set Eco and it was perfect. Very nice little program. I thought it might help others with under or over clocking their processors:

I used to have that same or similar issue back when I was first upgrading my systems to Windows 11. The distributed encoding server window on the Windows 11 boxes needs to be left open on the desktop, NOT minimized to the system tray. Did not have the issue with 10, just 11.

Does win11 still do that? What if you select high power profile instead of balanced?

I'll have to get back to you on that. For years now I have always just left the server window open on the desktops and have had no issues like that. I'll run some tests when i can over the next couple of days and see if I can reproduce.
I'll test with both power plans I have setup, full bore and also on all my ryzens I have my balanced plans set to boost mode disabled that I talked about back a couple months ago.

I'll try High performance and not to minimize that Encoding client window. Will see whether it helps.

Btw, in Windows 11, High performance might not be there, but this Powershell command restores it:

powercfg /s SCHEME_MIN

Another question. I hate the way how 4K HDR material looks so dark on my screen. I prefer the way how it looks in 1080p SDR blu-ray.

I have used "Tonemap" option to convert HDR to SDR, but the ripped content still looks clearly darker than if it were ripped from 1080p blu-ray disc.

Are there any settings in Ripbot what could tweak the brightness the way it would look like 1080p blu-ray disc rip?

Let us know if that does take care of the issue for you, I ran a 15 job test yesterday with all 14 servers with the window minimized with no issues. However in the past it was VERY intermittent, so no way to tell yet for sure if that is the cause and if the issue still exists.
I'm going to change my server scripts to minimize all of them for now and just see over the next couple of weeks if it returns and report back....

One thing I have just noticed, is on my 3 Intel Boxes (Ryzens are fine) with the server window minimized, performance is basically cut in half. This picture of the encoding server window shows the difference when I brought the window back to the desktop. the FPS started jumping up as well as soon as i did that. Very strange indeed. The 3 intels are a 13500,14500, and 14700. I also have "/priority normal" in all the start parameters on all 14 systems. Will have to look into what is killing performance on these when minimiized.

Thanks for reply.

I made some digging and testing, and found another tool that allows to convert HDR to SDR by using "Mobius" algorithm. That method produced almost exactly the same looking picture as if the source were a regular 1080p blu-ray disc.

It should probably be possible to use that on Ripbot as well as it's an ffmpeg command. But how? I couldn't properly add that command.

Interesting, not that I do any HDR to SDR, but your post got me looking for this "Mobius" FFMPEG algorithm, and I found this very interesting post:-

https://ericswpark.com/blog/2022/2022-12-14-ffmpeg-convert-hdr-to-sdr/

It compares Mobius with Hable & Reinhard, and the OP prefers Hable.

Another:-

https://www.binarytides.com/convert-hdr-video-to-sdr-with-ffmpeg/#google_vignette lots of ads :(

Maybe FFMPEG is better at this HDR to SDR conversion than Avisynth :confused:

There might be a way to add an FFMPEG function after RipBot has done its process, but you'd probably not do the HDR to SDR with RB, and let FFMPEG do it.

You could also possibly use VapourSynth.

Mobius is not perfect. Bt2446 is much better.

I assume Bt2446 is something that Ripbot is using?

With my movies that doesn't produce good looking results what it comes to brightness. It's just too dark to me.

This is from 1080p Blu-Ray disc:

Is there a way for me to test what results I get in Ripbot if I try different methods? How do I apply those commands to a Ripbot job? (Mobius, Hable, Reinhard etc.). I'm happy to use any method/settings that produces results as if the source were a 1080p blu-ray disc.

The original certainly looks the best....

You should be able to make as many changes to the HDRtoSDR.avs as you like, until you get the desired result.

This might help:-

Other options would be creating your own custom script, or running FFMPEG after RipBot has completed the encode.

Normally difference between Tonemap OFF and Tonemap ON should be much bigger than in your example

I've been having issues using v1.27.4 and someone in other forum said rolling back to v1.27.3 fixed there issues. How do I roll back to v1.27.3?

What issues are you having ?

You can't really roll back, due to the way RB gets updated.

However, rlev11 posted some older versions here:-

I used to be able to use Luts but I'm getting errors now. (I believe it was fine before the update to 1.27.4):

Did this work with 1.27.3 ?

Looks more like the input file has a problem.

I definitely don't think it's the input file that has the problem since I tried several files. One thing I noticed is while I had two cube files in the Lut

folder from time to time I was able to preview one of them and the other one always errored out. I've had the same errors with 1.27.4 and now

1.27.3 but I think I might have fixed it. It appears it's as simple as only having one cube file in the Lut folder. I put the cube file that was erroring

out every single time by itself now in the Lut folder. It immediately worked.

Normally difference between Tonemap OFF and Tonemap ON should be much bigger than in your example

I've had bad experiences with more than one 4K film.

Any change to share that piece of the clip in it's original 4K HDR format where that scene is? I'd like to try tonemapping that scene on my end.

You should modify the HDRtoSDR.avs until you get your desired result !

I'm having a issue that I have seen occasionally in the past but now it happened twice in a row.

When using distributed encoding, the Encoding client gets stuck at 100 %. Ripbot window says "Please wait..." but waiting never finishes as the process doesn't complete - it's just stuck at 100 %.

I can "resolve" this by ending the encoding client process in the task manager - after this, RB starts to mux the encoded file.

Thanks.

When using tonemap, the end result is quite similar on my end, compared to yours:

Interestingly, that original clip looks quite different on my end, compared to you:

Maybe Media Player Classic / K-Lite codec pack does some tweaks to the 4K HDR video...

Anyway, as I have major share of my movies in 1080p SDR, I want to rip my 4K movies to look exactly like them because I have used to the brighter image :p

Though, that one particular scene does look fine, I admit. But I still don't like the overall look of BT2446 in other movies so I guess I'll need to do some setting tweaking.

Yes.

But I don't know exactly what these values: (Lhdr & Lsdr) do (other than affect brightness someway) and how changing them affects the end result. If I could get some advice how to use those values, I would appreciate. http://avisynth.nl/index.php/HDRTools doesn't explain much.



Open HDRtoSDR.avs in notepad and change that value in red.

Function HDRtoSDR(clip video,string "Transfer")
{
source=video

Transfer = Default(Transfer,"")

cond = (Transfer=="PQ") ? Eval("""

video=ConvertYUVtoXYZ(video,Color=0,HDRMode=0,OOTF=false,OutputMode=2,threads=1)
video=ConverXYZ_BT2446_C_HDRtoSDR(video,PQMode=true,Lhdr=50000.0,Lsdr=100.0,pColor=0,pct_ref=0.6,pct_ip=0.6,pct_wp=1.0,pct_sdr_skin=1.0,pct_hdr_skin=0.44,threads=1)
video=ConvertXYZtoYUV(video,Color=2,pColor=0,OOTF=false,threads=1)
video=ConvertBits(video,8)

""") : Eval("""""")

Can you upload unprocessed hdr sample which looks too dark after tonemap?. I would like to take a look...

Maybe you could have a look here:- https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1843107#post1843107 (if you haven't already) it might be helpful.

You could still create your own Custom script, instead of changing HDRtoSDR.avs

I just tried to run a few episodes through Ripbot. I am taking the HD remux to an hevc. As soon as I hit start encoding it finishes immediately. I'm still running v 126.0.0 but the last time I used it (last month?) it worked fine.

Edit: Tried on 1.27.1 and it went through fine. Why wouldn't the older version work?

I'm burning/rendering the English subs for Italian dialogue for the Godfather trilogy using the latest 1080p BD's. Wherever you use them, media players et cetera they are gold(ish) colored. After using BDSup2Sub or rendering with Ripbot they are bright yellow. I saw that Ripbot converts the sup file to sub/idx. Is there anyway to edit those files to bring it back to gold(ish) again?

There is an option in the settings to not convert to DVD subs. I always burned my subs in as well, but I had to change that once HDR came out as the subs would mess with the brightness of the whole picture. So I started adding subs to the files and letting the media player overlay the subs (Plex got a lot better handling for this). You may have to do the same thing.

Do not use rendered subtitles. Just mux them as forced in subtitles section.
