HandBrakeCLI subtitle size

Post by jdhanley »

Can't adjust size of HUGE subtitles




HandBrake version (e.g., 1.2.2):
1.2.2



Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

I am using HandBrakeCLI to convert a raw MPEG2 recording (over the air broadcast recording) to an MP4. I am running it as a post-processor command in tvheadend. It works fine with the following command:
HandBrakeCLI -i "%f" -o "/video/%t - %p.mp4" -e x264 -q 22 -B64 -s "1"

However, my subtitles are HUGE. They take up most of the screen. I am uncertain how to adjust the size. Can anyone help?
Thanks!

Without the log (written to stderr) there's only like a million possible guesses…

We should note that somewhere unmissable on the forums.

This command isn't executed from within terminal but is launched in the background. So where would stderr go to?
Otherwise, where would I find the activity log?

I see how to write to a logfile with 2>. I will try that and provide output

Here is my Post Processor command in TVHeadend: HandBrakeCLI -i "%f" -o "/video/%t - %p.mp4" -e x264 -q 22 -B64 -s "1" 2> /home/hts/.hts/tvheadend/logfile.txt

After it finishes, there is no logfile.txt created.

What does that indicate?
Thanks.

Must be a TVHeadend quirk, I guess? I'm not familiar with that software.
