TranscodeError: Transcode probably did not succeed for file #13

Closed TehMaster closed 5 years ago

TehMaster commented 5 years ago

Hello,

To set the stage - I am running Linux (windows subsystem for linux) on windows server 2019, and have all prereqs installed so that transcode-video works successfully (using bash from cmd.exe). However, when i try to run the batch-transcode-video i run into the below transcodeError. I have tried removing the extra transcode-video options, but get the same error.

I wonder if this is because of the file system differences? When running bash on windows i have to mount the patch as '/mnt/d/' instead of "d:\". Appreciate any help!

I've tested things out using powershell on windows, with windows-style paths, but not with your setup. Could you run the same command with the --debug option and send me the output?

Sure. As a reference i went through the process below to get everything installed: https://github.com/JMoVS/installing_video_transcoding_on_windows

Here is the output: D:_ToEncode>batch-transcode-video --input "_Test/" --output "transcoded/" --force "0:0:0:0" --diff --debug -- --target 1800 --abr --preset slow --main-audio 1="Surround" --audio-width main=surround --ac3-bitrate 384

Based on that output (stderr: C:/Ruby25-x64/bin/transcode-video: HandBrakeCLI not available), it looks like it cannot find the handbrake cli (HandBrakeCLI) in your PATH.

Appreciate your help! I installed everything natively on windows (instead of the linux on windows route), copied what i needed to a new /bin, and everything is working fine now. Count this one as user error. :)
