avio_open2 error

Post by bayswaterbill »

Description of problem or question
Hi -
I am writing a script to process a folder of mkv videos to mp4. In testing, the first file I tried to transcode resulted in "ERROR: avio_open2 failed, errno -2"
The file transcodes OK in Mac GUI Handbrake.
Command:
cb$ handbrakecli -i MKV/"Amy (2015).mkv" -o Mp4/"Amy (2015).mp4" --preset="Devices/Apple 1080p30 Surround"

HandbrakeCLI is in /usr/local/bin.

Steps to reproduce the problem (If Applicable)


HandBrake version (e.g., 1.0.0)

HandBrake 20180109101036-4cef416-master

Operating system and version (e.g., Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, macOS 10.3 High Sierra, Windows 10 Creators Update)

Mac OS X High Sierra 10.13.2

Error message text or screenshot (If Applicable)

Do you have permission to write the destination file?

The problem is the mis-placed quotes.... The command line should be:

Code: Select all

handbrakecli -i "MKV/Amy (2015).mkv" -o "Mp4/Amy (2015).mp4" --preset="Devices/Apple 1080p30 Surround"

Thanks both for the quick responses. Very helpful.

> The problem is the mis-placed quotes….
It's not that (or opening the source would have failed?)

> Do you have permission to write the destination file?
Yes, but the destination folder was 'Mp4 ' and should have been 'Mp4'. Mea culpa!

Nah, both this form and the original poster's form are valid and refer to the same location on disk. I regularly use a mix of quoted, unquoted and escaped paths and it works just fine.

Both might work in a simple case, but...

When creating something to use in a script, putting the quotes outside of the whole string seems to work better than jumping in and out of quotes. Less tracking down things like the OP's "Mp4 " vs. "Mp4" issue.

For real fun, create directory names with trailing spaces... and watch people try to remove them with Finder or Explorer.
