ReEncode 1.0 available

Post by m.savazzi »

Hello everyone.
I've written a GUI for HandBrakeCLI to manage massive conversion.

It's here: https://github.com/msavazzi/ReEncode

Enjoy it if you need it :)

Open to suggestion

A GUI to run the CLI... sounds like HandBrake GUI :)

It’s cool but perhaps you can explain what is different from the HB GUI.

You do realise that the HandBrake GUI doesn't interact at all with the CLI Rollin?

Yes I’m aware, but a gui to run the cli seems a bit daft when a HB gui already exists :)

Unless it’s doing something the HB gui can’t? Thus the question.

Is totally different as ReEncode does analyze a directory structure for target files, then for each one invokes the HandBrakeCLI with a set of parameters that is pre defined.
It can move the file and remove source.

So is a lot different from Handbrake that is not a gui but the full program. :)

As I wrote is batch/massive conversion tool

Considering that some of us still keep copies of handbrake from 2014 because it directly generated CLI commands from the queue manager, it's not as silly an idea as you might think.

I've had issues with the GUI queue for a long time, and I often have dozens of encodes where the only difference is the file name, which is a lot simpler to manipulate in a batch file than a queue file.

You do realize that wingui did for most of the history of the HB project, s55? :roll:

Seems like a short bit of scripting would handle this better than 3 year old apps.

Updated version to handle "more correctly" the HB CLI errors.
