I'm using it because most my devices use it anyway. I'm trying to save some space honestly with some specific shows, although I was try to find them already converted it's not always the case.
January 30, 20215 yr I just checked the files and see no difference whatsoever. I increased the quality output in the profile. Now I have a question, I noticed how the automatic encoding stripped the subtitles inside the video already. Any way I can prevent that from happening?

February 2, 20215 yr Hey Guys, having an issue with no Japanese as an available language in the Audio Track Selection. Anyone have any ideas?

I've seen on the github issues for this project that it should be listed in Kanji (日本人) however the docker container doesn't seem to have the character set for many languages. If you see in my screenshot the last in the list is depicted as multiple alphanumeric squares, does anyone know how to fix it?

Try to edit the container configuration and add a variable named "ENABLE_CJK_FONT" with a value of "1". See https://github.com/jlesage/docker-handbrake#environment-variables

See https://github.com/jlesage/docker-handbrake#environment-variables Hey Mate, thanks for your help! That has worked perfectly but only for Kanji characters, there are still other character sets missing for other languages, although I don't need them myself it might be useful for people in the future if there's a solution to all?
February 2, 20215 yr Hi All, I love this docker! The best. I'm new to docker so if I ask a dump question, forgive me... My question, I'm learning how to include any subtitles that are in the original source and in doing so, I would like to 're-process' a recording that I copy into the /input folder. Is there somewhere I can tell this docker to do that? I've tried deleting all the hidden files in the /output folder but that doesn's seem to do it.... Thanks, ce

Enabling ENABLE_CJK_FONT installs fonts from the following project: http://wenq.org/wqy2/index.cgi?action=browse&id=Home&lang=en Not sure what else is missing.

February 11, 20215 yr Hey guys, does anybody know if it's possible to have "Automatic Video Converter: Keep Source Files:" set to 0 but only remove the converted file, not the folder if it's in one?

I guess you could do it by deleting yourself the source file using custom hooks (https://github.com/jlesage/docker-handbrake#hooks). But ideally you should copy only what you need to convert into the watch folder.

I'm looking at pointing my watch folder to my main video storage folder (I don't care too much if there's an issue and I lose a file here or there). I have the whole process working except for the last step being that it deletes the whole folder including the newly encoded file rather than the old file.

If you want to point the watch folder to your main video storage, then make sure that the output folder is different. Once everything get converted, this output folder will become your main video storage... Make sure that "Non-Video File Action" is set to "copy".
March 5, 20215 yr Hi Djoss, I've been running this container for a looooong time without any problems, using the automatic watch folder workflow and a post_watch_folder_processing script to stop the container after processing if the watch folder is empty. Sometime during the last few months (maybe longer) the script has stopped working as intended, with this in the log: [autovideoconverter] Conversion ended successfully. [autovideoconverter] Removed /watch/moviename.mkv'. [autovideoconverter] Watch folder '/watch' processing terminated. [autovideoconverter] Executing post watch folder processing hook... post-watch folder processing: Watch folder = /watch/BDMV watch folder not empty, won't shut down [autovideoconverter] Post watch folder processing hook exited with 0 [autovideoconverter] Change detected in watch folder '/watch'. [autovideoconverter] Processing watch folder '/watch'... [autovideoconverter] Watch folder '/watch' processing terminated. Here's the script: #!/bin/sh # # This is an example of a post watch folder processing hook. This script is # always invoked with /bin/sh (shebang ignored). # # The argument of the script is the path to the watch folder. # WATCH_FOLDER=$1 echo "post-watch folder processing: Watch folder = $WATCH_FOLDER" if [ -d "/$WATCH_FOLDER" ] && [ -z "$(ls -A "$WATCH_FOLDER")" ] then echo "watch folder empty, shutting down" killall -sigterm ghb else echo "watch folder not empty, won't shut down" fi I don't understand where /watch/BDMV is coming from? Are you able to shed some light on this for me, please? Has the argument value changed recently? Is Handbrake adding a temporary BDMV folder during processing? Or have I added another watch folder somehow without realising? In the container settings, the watch folder is set to /mnt/user/Media/Handbrake_hotfolder/watch/ Thanks in advance Jorgen Edit: I only have one watch folder defined in the container settings, and no optical drives passed through.

See https://github.com/jlesage/docker-handbrake#hooks So I'm not sur how your script worked, since the watch folder path is never passed to the script... and the first argument should be the conversion state. Since you are using a single watch folder, you can only set the watch folder like this: WATCH_FOLDER=/watch

So I verified the post watch folder hook, and there is definitively an issue with the param passed to the script. I will fix that.
April 14, 20215 yr Hello everyone, I am trying to use my Threadripper 2970wx for transcoding movie files. I am playing with CPU pinning, but i cannot figure out why the container is not taking full advantage of all of the cores. If i don't have any cpu pinning set up, will the container use all available cores? Please tell me that i am missing something simple? Thanks in advance for all of your help. Edit: I forgot to say that i am on Unraid version 6.9.1 Edited April 14, 20215 yr by alex165 Adding additional detail

Edit: I forgot to say that i am on Unraid version 6.9.1 This is a common behaviour. You can google for it for more details, but basically Handbrake/encoders are not necessarily good at using all the cores, especially above a certain number.
April 20, 20215 yr I just installed this and had the 1006 error. It took clearing cache & cookies to get it to go away. On 1/4/2021 at 9:10 AM, Djoss said: Clearing the browser's cache usually fixes this kind of issue. Other than that, everything seems to be working just fine. Thanks for putting this together (wish I'd seen it years ago...) About the only time I really need it is to convert files off of my JVC Everio camera - it creates a file with a .MOD extension that VLC will play. I can change the extension to .MOV and VLC will still play it. However, nothing will get Premier Pro to import it short of a full on conversion. Glad this works!
April 24, 20215 yr Weird question but what would cause handbrake, that auto encodes, to stop encoding a file early? I'm just curious because I had a bunch of files that only seemed to encode only half of the file. curious if there was an issue
