Wiki / Docs problems

Post by reppep »

Does HandBrakeCLI v0.9.2 read preferences files? I'd like to create a custom preset on the Mac, and copy it over to my Linux box, but don't know if this is workable, or where the CLI looks (~/Library/Preferences/org.m0k.handbrake.plist, as used on the Mac, seems an unlikely location on Linux).

I think this should be documented in http://trac.handbrake.fr/wiki/Preferences & http://trac.handbrake.fr/wiki/CLIGuide

You can't do this. The CLI does not read any preferences file and the MacGUI does not generate Command Line String's

So use manicure.rb. That's what I wrote it for.
Or not...the CLI docs clearly state the presets are "hard coded."
