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.

I tried different compatibility settings, with no success.

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



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

Btw.

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

Ok, thanks, so just to be clear that should always remain at least at the default of:
Audio1FilterList=DEFAULT;English;1_audio;

I updated my custom scripts back to that

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

I have had a couple of very frustrating hours with this new build !!

Most of the client PC's on DE (that were working just fine), are now all but useless due to some input error that causes them to not start encoding.

Fortunately, I had another server PC that had the previous build, and it works with DE without issue.

So guess who's staying on the previous build.

I would strongly suggest that EVERYONE turns off auto update, especially if you use DE.

I will keep testing, but I don't think it will change the outcome.

If you look at the dates of EncodingClient.exe and EncodingServer.exe files then you will realize that I haven't touched those for a year!

Here is a good example

German language was originally muxed as Default


And the same but Default flag was missing


That's why I used this order
DEFAULT
English
1_audio

If you leave only DEFAULT text then on second file NO AUDIO will selected.

I don't think that is something to brag about...

So then, why am I having issues with this new build, and as soon as I go back to the previous, there's none ??
