Seeking handbrake-cli and handbrake-gtk For FreeNAS 9.3+

Post by nlucchesi »

I'm trying to follow this tutorial for adding a h.264 transcoding script to MythTV running in a FreeNAS 9.3+ Jail:

How do I install handbrake-cli and handbrake-gtk on FreeNAS?

Thank you for your time and attention.

Could you be more specific about the commands necessary for extracting the source and making the binaries within FreeNAS?

Sorry to be so ignorant of these basics. :(

Thank you for your kind understanding.

Does FreeNAS even come with a compiler?

Being based on BSD, it probably has one available, but you will have to compile EVERYTHING that makes up handbrake.

You'll have to look at this (https://trac.handbrake.fr/wiki/CompileOnLinux) page, then study the docs on cross-compiling for FreeNAS.

For a newbie, that's going to be tough sledding.

Looks like building handbrake should be easy:

Code: Select all

portsnap fetch extract
cd /usr/ports/multimedia/handbrake/ && make install clean
But, unfortunately, it doesn't work:

Distro provided builds rarely do, even after you get them to compile.

Looks like it's easy to install handbrake-cli:

root@mythtv:/ # pkg upgrade
root@mythtv:/ # pkg install handbrake

But I still need to find a way to install handbrake-gtk, the gui for handbrake-cli

Distro provided builds rarely work well, for mostly political/dogma reasons.
