FFmpeg Batch for Windows

[Eibol]

In this case it would be a two steps process.
First extract the ass subtitutles from the mkvs on the main tab, using something like (if video has only one audio track and one subtitle track)
Parameters:

-map 0:2 -c:s copy

Format: ass

Then you can point to the extracted files path at Batch Subtitles. They must have the same name as the source video file, or you would have to double-click on each item to select it.

mkv file containing .ass subtitle with custom stylish font. how can we burn subtitle (hardcoded sub) into video for batch encode? any help please?

I think you could use the Batch subtitles tab, select the ass subtitles, (they are automatically selected if they have the same source filename)
and then check "Burn subtitles", there use the ffmpeg parameters of your choice.

when click encode i got error "some items have no subtitle available". kindly help please.

In 2.1.8, when I type in "NU" in the Presets name field and click the drop-down handle, FFmpeg Batch Converter pops up an error message like this.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer

Hi, I tried to reproduce the error creating an "NU" preset and playing around, but no error showed up.
Maybe a screenshot of the rest of the application, without the runtime error, may help.
Anyway, it is recommended to user at least 4 characters, but I'd have to doublecheck.

Hi Eibol just a update i got a around to do a test with the fix you sent me. I did get a test done with 2.18 and cuda was on 0 issues the bar went to 100% on the first try.

Great! Thanks

Hi, I tried to reproduce the error creating an "NU" preset and playing around, but no error showed up.
Maybe a screenshot of the rest of the application, without the runtime error, may help.

The error occurs even when there's nothing in the file list.



By clicking Continue, I can go on with the app though.



I have .Net Core Runtime 3.0.0 and .Net Core SDK 2.1.201.



Can this be a cause for the error?

[Eibol]

Just send the contents of your settings file (ff_batch.ini), that should good for debugging myself.
Settings management is buggy sometimes, It was an estoy approach, one day I guess I'll change this somehow.

This gave me light on the cause.
I removed all my old setting files in C:\Users\{my_account_name}\AppData\Roaming\FFBatch and fresh started the app, and the problem is gone.

I've been overwriting the portable app files for a long time and maybe the setting files were obsolete and incompatible with the new version.

Sorry about the fuss and thank you for the pointer.

Hi, @Eibol. I was on 2.1.8 and just installed/upgraded to 2.2.0.

I get a soft error message now when choosing any preset from the drop-down list.

1) Open the app
2) Drag media files into the app
3) Click the presets drop-down
4) Choose my custom preset (I'll call this Preset #1)
5) Error message appears (see attached)
6) Hit Continue to return to the app.
7) The Parameters field below the drop-down does not change to reflect the parameters of my Preset #1, but I can see that the drop-down field contains the name of the Preset #1 that I had selected.
8) If I click the Presets drop down one more time, and choose another Preset (Preset #2), I get the error message, hit Continue, and now the Parameters field shows the parameters of the Preset #1. - but the Preset drop-down shows the name of Preset #2.


Thank you for your hard work on this app!

Hi, could you please make a backup of your presets and send the file for debugging? I have no clue yet.

Thank you. The presets file is now ff_presets.ini, you can make a copy with the presets editor.

Hi, I have replaced my current ff_batch and ff_presets with yours but no error so far. It is the second report, still unable to reproduce the error.

I would just go to settings and reset to factory defaults, then load your presets from ff_presets.ini.

You know what's funny... i was able to reproduce the error 5 times yesterday. I made no changes (other than performing the preset backup via the application that you requested), and the error does not happen any more. Thanks @Eibol.

[Eibol]

Very good. I think it is related to backwards compatibility, I probably missed something.
Once you save a new preset, new presets file is written and backwards compatibility is no longer used.
Thanks for the report

@Eibol

Can I make a suggestion?

I think it'd be really useful if some sound can be played after jobs are finished.
And it would be a plus if the user can select his/her own media file to be played.

Probably available as a choice on next release

Well, unfortunately, no.
It plays nothing after the queued jobs are finished, while the sound is played OK in Settings.


BTW, this weird word "Vs " is always prefixed in Settings > Rename output file option, so every time I open Settings, I have to delete it manually.

And if I manually replace youtube-dl.exe with the most recent version 2020.06.16.1, FFmpeg Batch (ver 2.2.0) fails to check if it is the most recent one but keeps checking indefinitely.

[Eibol]

Hi, for the moment sound plays only if application is not in foreground, or minimized. This could change.

While I find the settings issue, go to presets editor, backup your presets, and then go to settings and reset all settings, then restore your presets.
