I've made a really rough PHP program that will generate a status page to show HandBrake encode progress. It's really nothing fancy (Read butt ugly
), there's no error checking yet but I made it for myself but am sharing to this great community it might be useful to others. All you should need is a webserver with PHP and PHP-GD installed. No license added in but feel free to hack / copy as you wish. If you've got some nice changes though please do share back 
My reason for making this is I've made a VM which does my encoding. I drop a video into the Samba share and it'll start encoding it automatically. When it's finished it puts it into a complete share for me to copy back off again. So it's all automatic but hence not too easy to see the progress of an encode so that's where this website comes in. I'll share more on the VM if people are interested and scripts though it's not quite finished yet.
You can pull this down from git at https://github.com/FastLaneJB/handbrake-web
When running an encode you need to pipe the output out to 2 files which must be in a location the web app can read. So just add this to the end and change the paths as needed...
Code: Select all
2> /storage/progress/encode_info > /storage/progress/encode_progressCode: Select all
HandBrakeCLI --verbose 1 --input "movie.mkv" --main-feature --output "encoded.mkv" --format mkv --markers --encoder x264 --quality 24 --vfr --aencoder faac --ab 128 2> /storage/progress/encode_info > /storage/progress/encode_progressAnd that is pretty much it. I imagine this isn't useful to many but hopefully useful to some. If there's enough demand I might well improve on it but otherwise it's just a quick Sunday project for myself
Thanks all.
