I can not read/write to my output directory. ls -la shows everyone can read/write/execute my media path i selected in the docker.

What could cause this? Any special configuration needed?

Thanks. To clarify, when using the GUI to initiate a transcode I can and have unchecked that box to remove the default tag. When I do this the file works properly and no subtitles display by default in playback. However, I am setting this up to be automated through watch folders and the preset I have created does not maintain that subtitle status. Anytime I load the preset it checks the default box back on. I don't see any way of getting that to be maintained when HandBrake starts a new transcode.

I'm not sure if there is a way to do it via the preset, but you can try the following: update to the latest image, you will get a new container setting "Automatic Video Converter: Custom HandBrake Arguments".  Try to set its value to "--subtitle-default none".

In HandBrake, are you saving your file under "/output"?

I used the source path for output. 

Does this docker need a GPU to work?  I switched to a CPU without one and now I get error 1006 disconneted.

No GPU required.  Does the container stay up and running ?  If yes, try to connect using another browser or try to clear your browser's cache.

@Djoss have you ever considered trying to expose support for Nvidias NVEnc encoder for this container? https://handbrake.fr/docs/en/1.3.0/technical/video-nvenc.html

 

quick and dirty comparison of QSV vs NVENC timings: 

 

 

With the Nvidia plugin, and this container, I think converting movies could benefit with the speed/offloading improvement.

 

Just tested a movie:

 

My Unraid Server, AMD 3700X with 12 threads pinned to Handbrake container standard H264:

36 Minutes @ 4.65 GB

 

Same movie on my Desktop with 3900X and 2080Ti, using H264 NVENC:

11 Minutes @ 7.5 GB

Hi, so testing this docker out on unRaid Version: 6.8.0 and can't seem to get my optical drive going. I was able to get it going with the MakeMKV-RDP docker using the --device=/dev/sg1 code. I do see it in dev, but when I select it trying to open a source (first tried a blu-ray, then a DVD) and kept getting back title not found. Anything I should try?

If it's an encrypted Disc (Like a DVD movie or Blu-Ray movie), handbrake can't open it, since handbrake isn't that kind of app. You would first need to decode it using something like MakeMKV or AnyDVD etc...

Did test the same DVD movie on my iMac using a external drive and Handbrake, that loaded there fine there. Is the encryption on this docker stronger or something? I did manage to rip the blu-ray version of this movie using MakeMKV and used this docker to compress it and that worked great.

What I mean is Handbrake is not a decrypting program. So if you are putting in regular movies like DVD or Blu-Ray, and expecting Handbrake to open and re-encode them, it won't do that. Movies (DVD and Blu-Ray) have encryption on them, so you need something to crack the encryption first, like MakeMKV or AnyDVD for example. You can't go directly from Blu-Ray to .MP4 for example with Handbrake alone. It may be trying to read the disc, but it doesn't understand what it is (because it's encrypted), so it spits back title not found.

Yup, I know that. It worked exactly like you said ripping the blu-ray disc using MakeMKV, then using this docker to compress it. But why does Handbrake on my iMac load the same disc and not here?

No idea. Handbrake can't unlock and decrypt an encrypted disc, that's not what it does.

 

Perhaps you have something like AnyDVD installed, or some other unlocking software that you forgot about? which is presenting the disc as unlocked to handbrake? That is completely doable, unlocking the disc via software and then handing off to handbrake as a disc in a drive.

Think it must of been that, and I forgot about it. Sorry for the confusion. 

 

So I tested out ripping another blu-ray with MakeMKV and setting the watch directory and preset in the container. That went through fine, but didn't have the right compression output I wanted so I decided I'll still do it manually. I change everything back and update the docker, then this time I get an server disconnected (code: 1006) and can't get the gui going again (it's just a blank page). I've tried deleting the docker, deleting the docker apps folder, stopping/started docker, stopping/starting array, restarting docker, changing ports and nothing's helped. Any idea's what to do here? I can post my logs if you'd like to see those. 

 

Update #1: Think I got it. Checked in another browser, it loaded there. Deleted all my cache/cookies for unRaid and finally got it going. 

 

Update #2: So while --device=/dev/sg1 did work for MakeMKV, I did notice it had an output in the docker for the optical drive of /sr0. So I tried that on Handbrake, and sure enough using --device=/dev/sr0 worked! Read the same disc it wasn't earlier. Don't know why the output is different, but at least it's working.

The issue with supporting NVENC is that Nvidia does not provide binaries for Alpine Linux and obviously does not provide source code for them...

But like you see, while it's faster with NVENC, the resulting file is much bigger...

saw it was mentioned but It still doesn't like file names with a space in them
I assume it's just one of those things that is just what it is.

Hi, I have setup Handbrake to watch a media folder that I have made on a Download share.

However HandBrake wont transcode anything that is put in the folder.

 

I have extraced what I get from the Log;

I have navigated to that exact folder but there is no log file inside it? Handbrake is running inside my docker on unraid but no log in that folder.

Try to remove /mnt/user/appdata/HandBrake/failed_conversions and then restart the container.  Your files should be converted again.  Look for the failures in the container's logs.

Thanks for that I deleted both the sucessful_conversions and the failed_conversion and ran Handbrake again. It didnt work, however the container log is giving more info;

Basically it is saying if I want to put media back where it came from the 'SAME_AS_SRC' flag it doesnt exist what is confusing....

The "Automatic Video Converter: Output directory" setting is a directory *inside* the container and you probably want to keep it to "/output".

Google isn't helping me here so I'm hoping I can get some help here.

I've enabled QSV support, and it's showing up. I've done the same in Plex and it's happy. But Handbrake is not.

qsv_hevc_make_header: MFXVideoCORE_SyncOperation failed (-17)
encqsvInit: qsv_hevc_make_header failed
Failure to initialise thread 'Quick Sync Video encoder (Intel Media SDK)'

Trying to re-encode a HEVC 10Bit movie to HEVC 10bit again (But it also fails in H265 (Intel QSV) and H264 (Intel QSV)). Can anyone help?

 

Side note: I enabled to HW support because Handbrake is ignoring CPU pinning. Other dockers comply, but not Handbrake. It uses all of my cores, even though it's set to use half of them. Makes the whole system fairly unusable. Also it's claiming that a 30fps movie that's 2 hours long is going to take 421 hours at 2 fps, where as math says that should be closer to 30 hours. So I thought I'd see if it was the same in HW mode.

Okay, forgive me since I'm a noob to dockers and such. I can get this installed (got Plex media server installed and running) but I cannot get past the unable to write to the directory error. I'm sure I'm not setting the initial setting correctly or something.

Which CPU do you have?

Also, try with the today's update to see if it changes anything.

Note that the CPU pinning issue is not related to the container itself, but with Docker.  Somehow your CPU pinning config doesn't get applied properly?
