You can see the progress in the container's log. On the Docker page, click the icon in the last column. are we talking about the Activity Icon ? Quote Ok, so what you would like to do exactly? You don't want to re-encode all downloaded files? yes some of the files that I am download are MKV files which when Handbrake try's to convert are failing, and I would like to excluded them, also any NFO, Jpegs, Gifs, Txt, Thumbnails etc. only files like AVI, Mp4,

March 14, 20197 yr Since hooks are all the rage at the moment, I’ll throw my question into the ring as well! At the end of each conversion I want to check if the watch folder is empty and if it is, shut down the container. I know I can do the first bit with a post processing hook, but is it possible to stop the container from the container shell? If it is, what’s the command?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hooks are simple shell scripts that are executed by the automatic video converter. To enable the hook, you just need to add a shell script at the right location. First copy the example hook: cp /mnt/usr/appdate/HandBrake/hooks/pre_conversion.sh.example /mnt/usr/appdate/HandBrake/hooks/pre_conversion.sh Then you can edit /mnt/user/appdata/HandBrake/hooks/pre_conversion.sh and do what ever you want. Here is an example of what I think you try to achieve: #!/bin/sh # # This is an example of a pre-conversion hook. This script is always invoked # with /bin/sh (shebang ignored). # # The first parameter is the full path where the video will be converted. # # The second parameter is the full path to the source file. # # The third argument is the name of the HandBrake preset that will be used to # convert the video. # CONVERTED_FILE="$1" SOURCE_FILE="$2" PRESET="$3" echo "pre-conversion: Output File = $CONVERTED_FILE" echo "pre-conversion: Source File = $SOURCE_FILE" echo "pre-conversion: Preset = $PRESET" EXTENSION="$(echo "${SOURCE_FILE##*.}" | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]')" case "$EXTENSION" in avi|mp4) # Nothing to do. Allow conversion of known video files. echo "pre-conversion: allowing file conversion." ;; mkv) # Do not convert MKVs. Move the file to its final destination. EXTENSION="$(echo "${CONVERTED_FILE##*.}" | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]')" if [ "$EXTENSION" = "mkv" ]; then echo "pre-conversion: file conversion not required, moving file." mkdir -p "$(dirname "$CONVERTED_FILE")" mv "$SOURCE_FILE" "$CONVERTED_FILE" else echo "ERROR: Destination file has unexpected extension '$EXTENSION'." fi ;; *) # Remove unknown files. echo "pre-conversion: preventing file conversion by removing file." rm "$SOURCE_FILE" esac I hope this help.

But I've run into another problem. The post-conversion hook runs before the watch folder is cleaned up, so I can't look for an empty folder. [autovideoconverter] Executing post-conversion hook... post-conversion: Status = 0 post-conversion: Output File = /output/movie.mkv post-conversion: Source File = /watch/movie.mp4 post-conversion: Preset = Mathias_MKV_720p30_v2 [autovideoconverter] Post-conversion hook exited with 0 [autovideoconverter] Conversion ended successfully. [autovideoconverter] Removed /watch/movie.mp4 I could use the source file parameter to test if the watch folder only contains that file, but that has two problems: 1. Source files in sub folders will trip it up 2. Not sure if the watch folder purge have time to run before the container is shut down by the script Hmm, might have to resort to a scheduled external script polling the watch folder.
March 15, 20197 yr @Communuity Developer one question. I just added the code to my pre_conversion.sh file and kicked off a converestion. was looking at the log file I saw this this error going through /config/hooks/pre_conversion.sh: line 44: syntax error: unexpected end of file (expecting ";;") is it something I need to be concern about. as I have had a look at the code, and with my very limited knowledge of coding this looks ok.

March 17, 20197 yr Hey @Djoss, I thought I would take another look into passing an Nvidia GPU into the container and then seeing the steps to getting NVENC with command line. The container isn't even seeing the GPU. Is this because there is no official support for nvidia? I'm also getting these libnvidia-encode errors.

March 19, 20197 yr Hi, I have been using this docker for a while now and it is perfect! Again Thanks for this. Today though I am suddenly unable to write to the Handbrake output folder from my Main Rig, nothing has been changed, I have rebooted both my server and Main Rig but still no joy? I am having to use putty to delete and move files around at the moment. I run 2 Handbrake Dockers and the output folder on the other one is still accessible. the output folder is one of 5 subfolders in my Movies share on unraid, I am able to write to the other 4 with no issues Any ideas?

It seems that the command line could support it, but this is to validate. Also, as indicated by the messages you mentioned, some libraries are missing in the container... and I'm not sure if sources are available to compile them.

Are the files/folders have the same ownership and permissions (compare between a working and non-working one)? Verify with "ls -l".
March 20, 20197 yr Author 18 hours ago, mbc0 said: So your "handbrakedocker" folder seems to have the correct/normal ownership/permissions. Likely a permission issue with SMB?
March 20, 20197 yr Unfortunately a bit over my head to be honest, I just chmod -R 777 and now working fine... All my SMB Shares (I have a lot!) are working normally with correct access except my Handbrakedocker folder so I wouldn't know where to begin!
