I'm trying to use a GUI exported custom preset "720p HD Subs.json" with HBCLI and a Script to process my HDHomeRun recorded Tv shows recorded by Plex.

Here's my script I'm trying to test.

"C:\Program Files\Handbrake\HandBrakeCLI.exe" -v -i "%%G" -o "%%~dG%%~pG%%~nG.mkv" --preset-import-file "D:\Plex\720p HD Subs.json" -Z "720p HD Subs"

Full script Below:

Here's my 720p HD Subs.jason

Here is the error I get when running the CLI for a test with custom preset I created.

"C:\Program Files\Handbrake\HandBrakeCLI.exe" -v -i "D:\Temp\Premier League Soccer (2011) - 2019-02-23 11 30 00 - Leicester City FC vs. Crystal Palace FC.ts" -o "D:\Temp\Premier League Soccer (2011) - 2019-02-23 11 30 00 - Leicester City FC vs. Crystal Palace FC.mkv" --preset-import-file "D:\Plex\720p HD Subs.json" -Z "720p HD Subs"

HandBrake has exited.

I've been trying to work on this for a few days and haven't had any luck figuring out what's causing the error. HanbrakeCLI and script seem to be pulling in the correct .ts file and executing the "720p HD Subs" and fails. Any help or suggestions would be great. If you need anything else, Please let me know.

Did you use the current 1.2.2 GUI to generate the preset? If so, it looks like there are a couple of bugs in it's preset export. It is failing to export AudioDitherMethod. This is ok since it's just falling back to the default, but if you want to silence the warning, add to your audio settings in the preset file.

The other bug causes the failure to initialize. The format of the rotate filter settings is incorrect. Should be If you have a github account or would like to create one, this would be a good one to add to our issues list

Thanks, I'll give that a try. Before I posted, I had deleted my preset and uninstalled Hb. Reinstalled and made a new export. Still didn't have any luck. I will let you know shortly.

Update: It WORKED.. Thank you very much!! The only errors were:

It's about half the size and looks great!! 5.1

I would have never found that.
Again, Thanks.

I'm very new to this, so apologize for any stupid comments.

I also had this issue. I exported my json directly from the GUI but received an error when using:
HandBrakeCLI.exe --preset-import-file "C:\H265_preset.json" --preset=H265 -i "file1" -o "file2"

[20:45:11] hb_parse_filter_settings: Error parsing (0:0)
ERROR: Invalid rotate filter settings (0:0)

Changing it as described above worked perfectly! Thanks, John A Stebbins!

If I instead try to import the GUI settings themselves, I get even more errors. Any thoughts on those? For now I'm going to use the json. Is there a bug logger? I'd be happy to add.

Which GUI version? Which CLI version?

They seem to be the same.

GUI version 1.2.2 (2019022300)
CLI --version
[22:53:00] hb_init: starting libhb thread
[22:53:00] thread 41670c0 started ("libhb")
HandBrake 1.2.2

Oh, and the command I was using for the GUI settings was

C:\Program Files\HandBrake>HandBrakeCLI.exe --preset-import-gui --preset-list
