Compatibility w/ macOS 10.15 Catalina

CosmicKetchup commented 5 years ago

So I didn't notice anything listed as 32-bit in my Mojave system report, so I pulled the trigger and did a clean install of macOS 10.15 Catalina. I'm certainI have all the listed dependencies installed via HomeBrew and went to process a film. Unfortunately I'm receiving an error immediately -- see below:

$ transcode-video --target big --no-auto-burn /path/to/movie/file.mkv --verbose
transcode-video 0.25.2

No log file is generated in the working directory. Any ideas? Is this a Catalina issue?

@seventhaxis Unknown whether it's a Catalina-specific problem yet.

But why are you placing the --verbose option after the input file name? That's not going to work. The input file name(s) always come at the end of the command line.

lisamelton commented 5 years ago

@seventhaxis Also, can you try this command:

transcode-video --dry-run /path/to/movie/file.mkv

Then copy the the HandBrakeCLI command that's printed out and execute that?

That way we can determine whether the problem is with transcode-video or HandBrakeCLI.

Thanks.

@donmelton So I get the same with --dry-run it seems.

$ transcode-video --dry-run /path/to/movie.mkv
/usr/local/bin/transcode-video: scanning media title 1 failed

@seventhaxis LOL! OK, now that I've spilled some of my coffee laughing at that... :)

Let's see if HandBrakeCLI is also failing if you call it directly. Try this command:

HandBrakeCLI --title 0 --scan --previews 2:0 --input  /path/to/movie.mkv

...and let me know what happens. Thanks!

Really appreciate you troubleshooting this Don.

lisamelton commented 5 years ago

@seventhaxis No problem! OK, so HandBrakeCLI is crashing. Maybe you can try re-downloading and re-installing it?

CosmicKetchup commented 5 years ago

Ah, no dice after uninstalling/reinstalling Handbrake (v1.2.2) via HomeBrew.

lisamelton commented 5 years ago

@seventhaxis Ouch! OK, I recommend you open an issue on HandBrake itself here:

https://github.com/HandBrake/HandBrake/issues

Because honestly I don't know how to proceed. Sorry about that. :(

CosmicKetchup commented 5 years ago

Thanks @donmelton. Closing for now. Will reopen and follow up as new information is released or an update is provided for HandBrakeCLI.

lisamelton commented 5 years ago

@seventhaxis Re-opening this to ask you how you installed HandBrakeCLI. Did you download the binary from the website or did you use Homebrew to install it? Because, based on other information I received today, it looks like the Homebrew version has problems on Catalina.

CosmicKetchup commented 5 years ago

@donmelton Hah yeah my issue over there got the exact same response. I removed the HomeBrew version and manually installed it. When executing a dry run I get the following:

$ transcode-video --dry-run /path/to/movie.mkv
HandBrakeCLI --input=/path/to/movie.mkv --output=movie.mkv --markers --encoder=x264 --crop=0:0:0:0 --auto-anamorphic --encoder-profile=high --encoder-level=4.0 --quality=1 --audio=1,1 --aencoder=ac3,ca_aac --mixdown=,stereo --encopts=vbv-maxrate=6000:vbv-bufsize=12000:crf-max=25:qpmax=34

Seems good, so I tried the transcoding process again and it's working as expected!

As always, you da man!

lisamelton commented 5 years ago

@seventhaxis Thanks and no problem, sir! :)
