Using Set Video Encoder Flow Plugin: "Unable to parse option value 'veryslow'"

[jacroe]

I'm running the 2.17.01 Docker version of Tdarr. I'm trying to convert an h264 Youtube video to hevc using the FFMPEG flow plugins including the Set Video Encoder one. I have the following configuration options chosen:

• Output codec: hevc
• FFmpeg Preset: veryslow (This also fails with a similar log when set to "slower". The lowest value that transcodes successfully is "slow". [The file size is 170%, but it does finish with the file playable.])
• FFmpeg quality: 20
• Hardware encoding: true
• Hardware type: auto (I've also manually set it to nvenc to no change)
• Hardware decoding: true
• Force encoding: false

Here's the log when the error gets thrown. I've redacted episode name but kept the same format, i.e. the show name is two words, the episode number is triple digits, there's an apostrophe in the file name, etc.

I can recreate this issue, it appears that newer versions of ffmpeg have different quality sets:

nvenc_hevc AVOptions:
  -preset            <int>        E..V.... Set the encoding preset (from 0 to 11) (default medium)
     default                      E..V.... 
     slow                         E..V.... hq 2 passes
     medium                       E..V.... hq 1 pass
     fast                         E..V.... hp 1 pass
     hp                           E..V.... 
     hq                           E..V.... 
     bd                           E..V.... 
     ll                           E..V.... low latency
     llhq                         E..V.... low latency hq
     llhp                         E..V.... low latency hp
     lossless                     E..V.... lossless
     losslesshp                   E..V.... lossless hp

nvenc_h264 AVOptions:
  -preset            <int>        E..V.... Set the encoding preset (from 0 to 11) (default medium)
     default                      E..V.... 
     slow                         E..V.... hq 2 passes
     medium                       E..V.... hq 1 pass
     fast                         E..V.... hp 1 pass
     hp                           E..V.... 
     hq                           E..V.... 
     bd                           E..V.... 
     ll                           E..V.... low latency
     llhq                         E..V.... low latency hq
     llhp                         E..V.... low latency hp
     lossless                     E..V.... 
     losslesshp                   E..V.... 

In my opinion the list may need to be updated to reflect the 11 new presets, alternatively a filtered list of presets may need to be generated for the given encoder
