Add/improve bit-rate handling for transcoding and ripping (old #606 closed now)

[thesatman]

Old thread #606 is closed now and I am not sure if you are following this, so I took the liberty to open a new issue.

How did things work out with the bitrate check before converting to mp4-scene? (please look at the last comments in #606) How do I put all this in my config?

[clinton-hall]

I believe this is all working. Just set outputDefault = mp4-scene-release

[clinton-hall]

as far as the bit-rate checks go, I thought this was handled by one of the other settings (I thought we set a quality setting in there for the mp4-scene-release... but I honestly don't know if this works as intended... can you please let me know if the bitrate is still too high using this?

Sorry for being so slack on these 2 issues... as this was all around last December, I was trying to spend time with familiy, then new year got hectic at work and the first week on February I was told I no longer had a job... Started a new job 3 days later and I have been run off my feet ever since (but enjoying the new job so much more)...

Add into that the fact that I have a 3 year old son, my wife and I got a new puppy (now 5 months old) we renovated the master bedroom and our 12 year old dog has cancer (only 1-4 months to go)... Well, as you can guess this project hasn't been receiving the attention I would like to give it.

I will test it, but my CP looks to be limping. I am running the latest version but am getting errors in the log, and CP is not downloading nor post processing anything. I posted the error at Ruudburgers CP Github, but the issue got closed right away as "already reported". Not sure it is a CP issue or a misconfiguration from my end. It worked fine until a few days ago... Maybe you could give me a hint where to look?

I totally understand your position, and believe me, there is no reason to apologize. Been there done that ;).

Hi again. I finally came across an iso file, so I can test this. I am having some difficulties getting nzbToMedia to do the job. Hope you can give me a few pointers?

I have the iso file located in the same folder where I uTorrent stores the finnished downloads:

C:\Video\link_w_torrentdownload\couchpotato\

my autoprocessmedia.cfg has:

[[couchpotato_]]
    enabled = 1
    web_root = ""
    Torrent_NoLink = 0
    method = renamer
    delete_failed = 0
    wait_for = 2
    extract = 1
    remote_path = 1
    watch_dir = C:\Video\link_w_torrent_download

[Transcoder] transcode = 1 concat = 1 ignoreExtensions = .avi, .mkv, .mp4 outputDefault = mp4-scene-release

I run C:\Python27\python.exe C:\nzbToMedia-GIT\nzbToMedia\NzbToMedia.py

The output:

Please note that the torrent is not in the torrent list anymore. So basically what needs to be done is for nzbToMedia to scan the folder and detect the iso, extract the main movie vob file. Then convert it to a mp4-scene video file.

What am I doing wrong? No file is extracted, and it ends with the error above. Thank you for your time and your help :)

[clinton-hall]

Interesting. This appears that 7zip did not return a list of files in the iso

[clinton-hall]

Can you call C:\nzbToMedia-GIT\nzbToMedia\core\extractor\bin\AMD64\7z.exe l C:\Video\link_w_torrent_download\couchpotato_\moviename (1997)\moviename (1997).iso

and post the output?

[thesatman]

The output is :

7-Zip [64] 9.20 Copyright (c) 1999-2010 Igor Pavlov 2010-11-18 Error: C:\Video\link_w_torrentdownload\couchpotato\movie\movie.iso: Can not open file as archive Errors: 1

I can open the iso file with Winrar, and can mount it with Virtual Drive.

[clinton-hall]

Interesting. 7zip opens iso on Linux.

Perhaps the version of 7zip I bundle is old? Can you install latest 7zip and try same command (replacing 7zip path with the newest version)?

[thesatman]

I am running the latest stable version.

[clinton-hall]

Can you test the same command from above, replacing the path to 7zip, after installing this version? http://www.7-zip.org/a/7z1509-x64.exe
