Batch showing no progress encoding Blu-Ray rips

[Ronald J Kienle]

This is a new issue as of today. I have no idea what happened. It encoded a few files in the que and then just hung up. I got out of the program and rebuilt the queue and started it and it starts, shows it's working at 140fps but the progress bar always stays at 0.

Actually the above was a something I was gonna post couple weeks ago but I just let it run and it completed. Tonight I encoded a bunch of DVD rips and everything was normal, then I loaded a dozen Blu-Ray rips to encode and the timrer is clicking but no FPS are showing and the progress just says "Processing". I am going to bed and I'm sure I will have completed encodes in the morning but this is kind of annoying.

Thanks Abel.

Hi, looks like the progress information finds some error, so it stops displaying info, but the encoding process continues on be background. I agree it is somewhat annoying, though encoding actually finishes, it is a progress information issue only.

In order to debug it I would need a file causing the problem.

This happens with ANY Blu-Ray rip....problem is they are all 16-40 gigs big. Just woke up and all 14 files encoded no problem, and when done it showed average speed even though it did not while in progress.

May I have a session log file, to analyse the progress output that fails to display?

Next release will display ffmpeg command line output when progress information fails to display. You can try it here.

[Ronald J Kienle]

Is this the correct log Abel?

[Abel]

That's it. Looks like something related to how nvidia hevc encoder works, since it is not displaying time progress information. It outputs constantly:

time=N/A bitrate=N/A speed=N/A

Without this information it is not possible to display encoding progress, time remaining, etc.
It is not something related to FFBatch,

On next release, raw progress output from ffmpeg will be displayed, so it does not look like encoding is frozen.

Ok Abel, I just installed the latest version twice and both times is says the md5 checksum for ffmpeg does not match....so what should I do?

This is version 7.0.1

[Abel]

Just trust the new ffmpeg version when prompted, or at Settings -> Security and Performace -> Check "Do not validate ffmpeg".

[Ronald J Kienle]

Hi Abel, is version 7.0.1 the next release you spoke of earlier because it still shows no progress when encoding blu-ray rips. Flying blind is painfull LOL

[Ronald J Kienle]

OK, it finally started working but it took quite a while

[Ronald J Kienle]

OK Abel, I just ran a single Blu-Ray rip through batch and it completed without ever showing any progress at all. It was at 0% for some time then it was just done and I had an output file and the little output file box is there but I cannot click on it to view it and it seems empty.

[Ronald J Kienle]

Strangely if the Bluray rips are small like 5 gigs then the progress shows but if they are large like an entire movie then it does not.

[Ronald J Kienle]

Doing only 1 Blu-Ray movie, even large at 33 Gb the progress shows fine. Seems to be large queues of large files.

I really can't tell the cause of this behaviour, maybe related to memory issues.
