HandBrakeCLI fails on .MKV input, but GUI succeeds

Post by taumattatx »

Description of problem or question:

I used MakeMKV (command-line) to rip "Mission: Impossible (1993)" to an .mkv file, and then tried to use HandBrakeCLI to reencode the video to an .m4v file. HB failed with a "scan: unrecognized file type" error. However, when I re-tried with the HandBrake GUI, it worked fine. I've verified that the .mkv source file is okay -- at least, VLC can play it directly.

I don't know if I'm doing something different with my command line invocation versus what the GUI is doing -- I don't find it easy to figure out precisely what the GUI is doing, generally. Perhaps the defaults are different? I must be doing something wrong... I'd be grateful for any hints.

Steps to reproduce the problem (If Applicable):

My command line to invoke HandBrakeCLI:

Code: Select all

HandBrakeCLI --two-pass --turbo --optimize --markers --subtitle none --encoder x265_10bit --audio 1,2,3 --aencoder ca_aac,ca_aac,ca_aac --input "Mission: Impossible (1996).mkv" --output "./Mission: Impossible (1996).m4v"

HandBrake version (e.g., 1.0.0):

1.2.2


Operating system and version (e.g., Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, macOS 10.13 High Sierra, Windows 10 Creators Update):

Mac OSX Mojave 10.14.3

Here the terminal output from HandBrakeCLI (the failed attempt):

Re: HandBrakeCLI fails on .MKV input, but GUI succeeds

Post by Woodstock »

The GUI was given the full path to the MKV file, but the CLI was not. What happens if you give the CLI the input file name as "/Users/wasserham/Movies/Rips/Mission: Impossible (1996).mkv" instead of just "Mission: Impossible (1996).mkv"?

Re: HandBrakeCLI fails on .MKV input, but GUI succeeds

Post by taumattatx »

I'm running a script that I've used to rip+encode over 100 movies from my library -- most are DVDs, but there are about 2 dozen BluRays in the library that I've ripped so far. This is the first failure of this nature, so I'm pretty sure it doesn't have anything to do with the missing path -- the file being encoded in is the current working directory when I launch HandBrakeCLI, so no path should be necessary. I can certainly re-try to eliminate any doubt...

Re: HandBrakeCLI fails on .MKV input, but GUI succeeds

Post by taumattatx »

I have a theory -- I think it might be the COLON in the filename! I just had the same failure encoding "Mission: Impossible II (2000).mkv". On a hunch, for MI 3, I tried changing the colon, so I used "Mission - Impossible III (2006).mkv" for the rip name. And THAT seems to be working! I know -- different disc, not proof yet. But all three BluRays came from the same boxed set...

Anyway, once this reencode is done, I'll rename one of the other rips to get rid of the colon in the filename and try HandBrakeCLI again. If it works, I'll have proof positive.

This does seem like a bug in HandBrakeCLI (a minor one, but still a bug)...

CONFIRMED. The COLON in the filename is the entire source of the problem with HandBrakeCLI. How does one submit a bug report? Or perhaps I should just take a peek at the code and submit a patch for this one-- seems like a very trivial bug... :)

The colon would certainly be a problem in a Windows file name (drive letters include that character), but it should be legal in MacOS... Except there may be an issue with how bash handles it.

Did your original command line include all of the path? What handbrake saw didn't include it. The theory being that the full path was truncated down to an invalid one, as the command line was being pushed to the CLI. The path is pushed to hb.dll from the GUI without interference from the shell...

This probably isn't a bug in handbrake, since I've seen similar things in bash on Linux.

Make sure you include your command line used when you make your report.

Colons need to be escaped in bash. I see you've quoted the file name, but \: may still be required.

Quoting is sufficient to remove any special meaning of ":" in bash. No additional escaping is necessary. Bash man page makes this fairly clear (citation readily available); however, the more conclusive proof (to my thinking) is that the message from HandBrake itself shows the entire filename, with the colon, and no evidence of any mangling or other substitution. This implies that HandBrake is clearly getting the full and correct file name from bash. If I've missed an important detail or made an unsupported logical leap in this line of thinking, I'd be grateful to have someone set me straight. :)

Wait -- how did you know I was using bash, and not ksh or tcsh?

Omniscience? :)

Actually, just an assumption, based on bash being the default for "everything" over the years. The few Mac users I know haven't bothered to switch away from bash, simply because they don't use the shell except for simple things. More advanced shells are great for more advanced tasks. Simply running programs at the command line doesn't favor any particular shell.

Ha! That's funny. I've been a software engineer for 30 years, and even today, wherever I work, the only shells I can reliably assume will be available are bash and tcsh. And I loathe tcsh for productivity and stability (not to start a holy war, but the list of problems with tcsh that compromise productivity is just ridiculous, IMHO). So bash it is! But we are way off topic now....
