January 30, 201412 yr Author yuuuuup. Now what you could do is search the slackware package list for a 14.x x64 version of bwm-ng, install it manually, and then assuming the basic usage commands haven't changed UnMenu should be able to access it for bandwidth monitoring as desired. Not as simple as UnMenu is supposed to be, but we are in the early stages here.
January 30, 201412 yr Just for wanting to use HB. The only reason I went with this route is due to my hardware. The Xeon processor is a beast at encoding. Didn't wanna buy new hardware lol
January 30, 201412 yr Author you need bwm-ng for handbrake? I'm confused. But yeah I feel ya. My unraid boxen has more transcoding capacity than my PC so getting HB up and running has been a big draw. I know Plex can do on the fly transcode of my raw BD rips but given that a well defined handbrake transcode works much slower tells me I can get better quality, and direct play on my Roku, if I just do all the transcoding upfront. And of course it saves space on my system.
January 30, 201412 yr yuuuuup. Now what you could do is search the slackware package list for a 14.x x64 version of bwm-ng, install it manually, and then assuming the basic usage commands haven't changed UnMenu should be able to access it for bandwidth monitoring as desired. Not as simple as UnMenu is supposed to be, but we are in the early stages here. Or, you could edit the bwm-ng-unmenu-package.conf file in the /boot/packages folder, and substitute the url and filename for the 14.1 x64 that you searched out, update the md5 signature and version string, and post the x64 version of the unmenu package file here. Once you find the download url for the new package, you are half of the way there to just updating the unmenu package file. Of course, this all assumes that the x64 version puts its binary in the same path, /usr/bin/bwm-ng.
January 30, 201412 yr No I don't need bwm-ng it's just showing up in my syslog. I'm OCD about that sort of jazz. Yeah like I said that's been my biggest draw. On another note how do you setup you custom settings for HB? Do you copy the encode log from GUI version and paste it to command line?

For a techy, it's not hard to do, just takes a few minutes of time. He suggested you do the heavy lifting, when in fact, it wouldn't take a whole lot of effort to do it correctly and update unmenu. I don't have a 64 bit build running right now, or I'd do it.
January 30, 201412 yr Haha. Well as you can tell from this thread I'm not a Linux guy. I just want it to work. Cut and paste and follow directions is what I do best.
January 30, 201412 yr Will this work. http://wwww.slackbuilds.org/repository/14.1/network/bwm-ng/ I can't tell from that link. Maybe this? http://www.slackers.it/repository/bwm-ng/ At least this archive says it x64
January 30, 201412 yr So this would be link for the package that would go in conf file? http://www.slackers.it/repository/bwm-ng/bwm-ng-0.6-x86_64-4cf.txz
January 30, 201412 yr Author HB Options: Yes I did start with using the windows GUI to get n idea of the commands. But it won't direct copy since the file paths will likely be different. Mine also quickly evolved as I referenced what it gave with what all the options were from the HB Help docs. Handbrake GUI includes a lot of stuff even if it isn't unused / unchanged from default. So my final set of commands was much shorter and simpler to understand. Package Links: It would seem that should work. Though I can't vouch for the "slackers.it" domain as an authoritative source. I did some looking at the official slackware repository and it doesn't seem to have bwm for 14.x and other sources I found don't differentiate on i486 vs x86_64 My Coaching: ;-) oh come on now all I was just saying you can manually install bwm-ng like any other package (just like handbrake). After that the UnMenu Network Monitor page that shows the results of bwm-ng should just work. Even worse, I didn't get "the joke" because I read jonathanm's post and thought to myself, "yup, that wouldn't be too hard to do either" ;D
January 30, 201412 yr Author As to the slackbuild link ... just hard to say if it will work in 64-bit. easy way to tell. But I guess the question I have for your Havoc is why are you even getting that error (and trying to solve it)? Do YOU have unmenu installed? Not that I care too much about thread jacking this thread, but I know there is an UnMenu thread ;-)
January 30, 201412 yr Havoc: I released trolley 0.2.1 with 3rd party URL support last night. You may just need to update your install (run the installer again). You can check your version by running `trolley version`. It won't let you install a package with mismatched architecture, which may be useful with what you're trying to do. root@Tower:~# trolley install http://slackware.org.uk/people/alien/restricted_slackbuilds/handbrake/pkg64/14.0/handbrake-0.9.9-x86_64-1alien.txz => Downloading handbrake (0.9.9 x86_64) => Installing => Installed
January 31, 201412 yr Author FYI, here is the command I executed: HandBrakeCLI -i "/mnt/user/Movies/Kingdom of Heaven 1080p (2005).mkv" -o "/mnt/user/Movies/Kingdom Of Heaven 1080p (2005)-1.mkv" -f mkv -w 1920 -l 816 -e x264 -q 20 --vfr -a 1,1,1 -E copy:dtshd,copy:dts,ffac3 -6 auto,auto,stereo -R Auto,Auto,Auto -B 0,0,256 -D 0,0,0 --gain 0,0,0 --audio-fallback ffac3 --subtitle scan --subtitle-forced=1 --subtitle-burned=1 --markers --x264-preset=slow --x264-profile=high --x264-tune="film" --h264-level="4.0" --verbose=2 The bit that I'm not sure yet how to deal with is the size and cropping. I suppose I could just always use 1920x1080 and accept that I might have black bars being encoded and wasting space, but it isn't like they add that much since compression of those macroblocks should be pretty good. In any case if you look at that, and paruse the HandBrakeCLI guide (https://trac.handbrake.fr/wiki/CLIGuide) it should set you up to run your encodes. In the end it turned a 40GB movie into a 13GB movie. Oh and those settings are based on suggestions for Roku compatibility discussed here: http://roku.yt1300.com/settings.html

January 31, 201412 yr Author Rereading now I realize my comments about size and cropping might not have been clear. As you probably are aware HB GUI has an option to automatically choose cropping for you and also will do some auto calc or resolutions depending on your anamorphic, modulus, and keep-aspect settings. The Roku guide generally says to leave anamorphic off, keep-aspect on and auto-crop on. So that means you only need to be concerned with choosing the largest appropriate uncropped height or width and HB will choose the other based on the crop settings and aspec ratio. So for a modern movie that would mean 1920 for uncropped width since this movie has black bars on the top and bottom. For anything modern (2.35:1 being viewed on 1.33:1) you can almost assume that fact outright. The problem is exactly what the vertical crop should be? I don't know of any way to get that other than allowing HB GUI to do its own analysis, taking a safe guess, or leaving it full sized at 1920,1080. The CLI has no such analysis. Now of course for anything older that might not be in 2:35 you'll have to keep an eye out for, and anything 4:3 would then need some horizontal cropping Sorry if that is all stuff you already know, I just wanted to save you some time if you hadn't gotten that far into thinking about it because it is an bit to deal with when using CLI. And frankly I don't have a good answer, so I'm hoping someone else does I haven't gotten around to trolling the HB forums yet either.

January 31, 201412 yr Author Hmmm you know what. The CLI does have autocrop as an option, and in fact it is default. Now I'm wondering what would happen if I pushed just -w 1920 in the CLI, left -l blank and of course made sure autocrop was on. hmmm I'll have to test that this weekend. If that works I'll be able to easily batch all my BD rips and let the server churn for the next week unattended

September 22, 201411 yr Nice work jumperplex! If anyone is interested, I updated the script above to use trolley. It will: * fetch the lib by version and match it to your arch * save the package to /boot/extra * install it Notice there are no versions specified. Trolley will pick the correct version for your Slackware version. That means this script installs the same on unRAID 5.0.x AND 6.x. By future proofing your code, you can ensure that it will work months and years down the line with minimal effort. Everybody wins. #!/bin/bash [[ `command -v trolley` == "" ]] && curl -sk https://raw.github.com/nicinabox/trolley/master/install.sh | sh trolley install freetype trolley install fontconfig trolley install libogg trolley install libsamplerate trolley install libtheora trolley install libvorbis trolley install libxml2 trolley install zlib trolley install glibc trolley install glib trolley install gcc trolley install libpng trolley install xz if [[ `uname -m` == 'x86_64' ]]; then trolley install http://slackware.org.uk/people/alien/restricted_slackbuilds/handbrake/pkg64/14.0/handbrake-0.9.9-x86_64-1alien.txz else trolley install http://slackware.org.uk/people/alien/restricted_slackbuilds/handbrake/pkg/13.37/handbrake-0.9.9-i486-1alien.txz fi I'm new to unRAID and Linux, forgive me if I do something is wrong. I copy your script and create file name as handbrake_trolley.sh in /boot/extra . Then in the command console, I run script as ./handbrake_trolley.sh I got error message -bash: ./handbrake_trolley.sh: /bin/bash^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory Could you please tell me what do I do wrong ? thanks
September 22, 201411 yr The ^M at the end of the interpreter line suggests you have propably used a windows editor to create the script file. Don't do that. Use vi or nano in a console window. Or make sure your editor saves the file as unix type.
November 26, 201411 yr First off, many thanks to ClunkClunk for working out the details for 32-bit UnRaid: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=3714.msg285620#msg285620 I went through and updated the links to the 64-bit package locations, put it into a script just to make it simpler and added the installpkg lines. I'm not a script expert so I didn't try to make it deal with directories on its own etc, It just runs wget and installpkg in whatever directory you're sitting. So best bet is to run the script from /boot/packages #!/bin/bash wget -nc http://carroll.cac.psu.edu/pub/linux/distributions/slackware/slackware64-14.1/slackware64/x/fontconfig-2.10.93-x86_64-1.txz wget -nc http://carroll.cac.psu.edu/pub/linux/distributions/slackware/slackware64-14.1/slackware64/l/freetype-2.5.0.1-x86_64-1.txz wget -nc http://carroll.cac.psu.edu/pub/linux/distributions/slackware/slackware64-14.1/slackware64/l/libogg-1.3.0-x86_64-1.txz wget -nc http://carroll.cac.psu.edu/pub/linux/distributions/slackware/slackware64-14.1/slackware64/l/libsamplerate-0.1.8-x86_64-1.txz wget -nc http://carroll.cac.psu.edu/pub/linux/distributions/slackware/slackware64-14.1/slackware64/l/libtheora-1.1.1-x86_64-1.txz wget -nc http://carroll.cac.psu.edu/pub/linux/distributions/slackware/slackware64-14.1/slackware64/l/libvorbis-1.3.3-x86_64-1.txz wget -nc http://carroll.cac.psu.edu/pub/linux/distributions/slackware/slackware64-14.1/slackware64/l/libxml2-2.9.1-x86_64-1.txz wget -nc http://carroll.cac.psu.edu/pub/linux/distributions/slackware/slackware64-14.1/slackware64/l/zlib-1.2.8-x86_64-1.txz wget -nc http://carroll.cac.psu.edu/pub/linux/distributions/slackware/slackware64-14.1/slackware64/l/glibc-2.17-x86_64-7.txz wget -nc http://carroll.cac.psu.edu/pub/linux/distributions/slackware/slackware64-14.1/slackware64/l/glib-1.2.10-x86_64-3.txz wget -nc http://carroll.cac.psu.edu/pub/linux/distributions/slackware/slackware64-14.1/slackware64/d/gcc-g++-4.8.2-x86_64-1.txz wget -nc http://carroll.cac.psu.edu/pub/linux/distributions/slackware/slackware64-14.1/slackware64/l/libpng-1.4.12-x86_64-1.txz wget -nc http://carroll.cac.psu.edu/pub/linux/distributions/slackware/slackware64-14.1/slackware64/a/xz-5.0.5-x86_64-1.tgz wget -nc http://slackware.org.uk/people/alien/restricted_slackbuilds/handbrake/pkg64/14.0/handbrake-0.9.9-x86_64-1alien.txz installpkg fontconfig-2.10.93-x86_64-1.txz installpkg glibc-2.17-x86_64-7.txz installpkg libsamplerate-0.1.8-x86_64-1.txz installpkg xz-5.0.5-x86_64-1.tgz* installpkg freetype-2.5.0.1-x86_64-1.txz installpkg handbrake-0.9.9-x86_64-1alien.txz installpkg libtheora-1.1.1-x86_64-1.txz installpkg zlib-1.2.8-x86_64-1.txz* installpkg gcc-g++-4.8.2-x86_64-1.txz installpkg libogg-1.3.0-x86_64-1.txz installpkg libvorbis-1.3.3-x86_64-1.txz* installpkg glib-1.2.10-x86_64-3.txz installpkg libpng-1.4.12-x86_64-1.txz installpkg libxml2-2.9.1-x86_64-1.txz* First encode is running right now!!!

Now,I need to install libdvdcss for HandBrake 64-bit, where is good place to find this library and how to install it . Hope, you can help me out. Thanks
November 26, 201411 yr Author I'd look for stuff like that here: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=slackware+64+14.1+libdvdcss ;-) Seriously though here is one I found: http://slackware.org.uk/slacky/slackware64-14.1/libraries/libdvdcss/1.2.13/ ... heck we could/should problem get the other files from this source as well [shrug] Then you can use the pattern from the rest the script to use wget to pull libdvdcss-1.2.13-x86_64-1ponce.txz and then use similar syntax to install the package.
