May 2, 201511 yr Author Sorry, I was not clear with my request. Currently converting files requires user interaction. That means you need to select input file, add it to queue and press start. I was hoping that this process could be automated. That means when some file is copied to certain folder, it triggers handbrake action (convert file). Or conversion can be initiated by shell script that is run from cron (scan folder, add to queue and start process). This would be very helpful when you copying wtv files from HTPC to unRaid for further processing. Some Windows applications use watchFolders method, it should be possible under Linux. It would be a killer app. a watch folder itself is definitely possible with linux using inotify (another user here showed me how a few days ago) a brief little google thus far suggests the CLI app or a combo of the GUI and CLI, gui to set the presets etc... and the CLI to take scripting.
May 2, 201511 yr Author cli app is only a 12mb addition to the size of this container, inotify is 166kb but i'm bloody hopeless at scripting.... if anyone has scripting skills, they can fork my git and have a go, and if it flies nicely i'll merge. best i can offer, sorry.....
May 3, 201511 yr In the mean time, this isn't a full watch folder type scenario but a way to stage files for easy submission to the queue http://www.howtogeek.com/199993/converting-videos-by-the-batch-with-handbrake/ there is this which might serve as a good starting point for a script if not good on its own. I'm not savvy enough to know https://gist.github.com/donmelton/5734177 and this https://trac.handbrake.fr/wiki/CLIGuide#scriptingAndAutomation

I'm not savvy enough to know https://gist.github.com/donmelton/5734177 and this https://trac.handbrake.fr/wiki/CLIGuide#scriptingAndAutomation last night i made a branch for this, added the cli and inotify to the build, idea was to have a watch folder utilised with inotify that runs a scriot, script volume is saved local to unraid so users can edit their own script.
May 3, 201511 yr Author Thank you thus far i've got inotfiy tools installed along with the cli version of handbrake. the inotifiy script needs tweaking, i have a placeholder script with just an echo to screen in it. script will be stored local to enable it to be user edited. but really needs a scripting guru to make a default template script. thus far , with this inotify script #!/bin/sh while inotifywait -r -e create /watch-folder; do /bin/bash /script/convert.sh echo "Converting file(s)" done and this conversion script, not in the build yet. #!/bin/bash for file in /watch-folder/* do HandBrakeCLI -v -i "$file" -o "$file".converted.mp4 --preset iPad ; #uncomment next line to delete original #rm $file done it's converting a file i dump in the watch folder.
May 4, 201511 yr Just tried this out Sparkly, very good, you are a docker ninja! A good companion to this would be mkvtoolnix gui.
May 4, 201511 yr Just to pile on again, this is awesome. I'm already 5 encodes in and can't be happier. Much faster than my PC and now my PC can go to sleep while the server chuggs away.
May 4, 201511 yr Author how do you setup guacamole to connect, instead of using the webui? edit the template, add port 3389
May 4, 201511 yr how do you setup guacamole to connect, instead of using the webui? edit the template, add port 3389 Heck yeah
May 4, 201511 yr Please be gentle ... WTF is guacamole and why would I use it? [sigh] because I never believe an answer will be that easy to find I revise my question: what is really better about guac vs. what is being used now. And exactly how does one ""edit the template, add port 3389"

[sigh] because I never believe an answer will be that easy to find I revise my question: what is really better about guac vs. what is being used now. And exactly how does one ""edit the template, add port 3389" Well, guacamole is for chips in unRaid terms is an awesome vnc, rdp, blah blah remote connection software. it can connect to anything pretty much and display the screen. edit the template means go to the container and add the port 3389. http://guac-dev.org/

May 5, 201511 yr Author found a better script that i tweaked a bit... #!/bin/bash ########### EDITABLE VARIABLES ########## DEST_EXT=mp4 PRESET=Ipad ######################################### ##### DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING BELOW HERE ############### SRC=/watch-folder DEST=/Output HANDBRAKE_CLI=HandBrakeCLI IFS=$(echo -en "\n\b") for FILE in `ls $SRC` do filename=$(basename $FILE) extension=${filename##*.} filename=${filename%.*} $HANDBRAKE_CLI -i $SRC/$FILE -o $DEST/$filename.$DEST_EXT --preset $PRESET chown nobody:users $DEST/$filename.$DEST_EXT done this one is in the build of the handbrake-scriptable in my beta repo. if there aren't any issues i'll merge it into this docker to have the gui and cli all in one, you can edit in the gui like normal without ever having to use the CLI , but it's there if you should ever want to , or to use the watch folder.
May 5, 201511 yr This is great. I like the second script. It uses built-in presets and in most cases is sufficient. FYI all HandbrakeCLI options can be found here https://trac.handbrake.fr/wiki/CLIGuide So following what you did, command line can be tweaked to include different options, like container, resolution, etc Here you will find info about built in presets https://trac.handbrake.fr/wiki/BuiltInPresets As you can see they are pretty long, but you can always adjust one of them to your needs.

May 7, 201511 yr This is an awesome Docker that is sending another VM on retirement If I'm encoding MKV files to x.265 the server is running at 90-100% CPU utilization. I see an average of about 9fps (XEON E3-1240 V2) vs. >12fps on my desktop machine running on Mac OS X Yosemite (i7-4771). CPUBoss review is showing a slightly higher score for the XEON - so shouldn't the encoding on the XEON be slightly faster (well GeekBench and Passmark are showing higher values for the i7 ) ? I wasn't sure if this is rather for the HW section of the forum and it's just out of curiosity....
