GUI Not working with Presets

Post by Reg »

Hi,

Version HandBrake 1.07
OS: OpenSUSE Leap 42.2

Activity file: https://bpaste.net/show/acefd199ad55
Presets file: https://bpaste.net/show/a0907d19757f

I've installed Handbrake and couldn't get it to work. After much fiddling I think I have narrowed it down to some setting in the presets which I came to the conclusion because of the following:

When I run:
  • HB GUI with any preset it won't work.
  • HB CLI it works like this: HandBrakeCLI --input "InFile.iso" --title 1 --preset "Normal" --output "OuttFile.mp4"
  • HB CLI it does not work like this: HandBrakeCLI --input "InFile.iso" --title 1 --preset "Fast 1080p30" --output "OuttFile.mp4"... this will fail when I use any of the presets you see in the GUI, not just "Fast 1080p30".
Any help in getting this to work would be appreciated.

Try --preset="Fast 1080p30" instead ;)

Duh - I hate it when I miss something simple and obvious, thanks!

The good news is that the CLI version works fine with that fix to the script however it doesn't help at all with what's going with the GUI. Any ides why the GUI is failing?

Also, is there a way to limit the number of CPU's that the CLI is using? I have 16 CPUs (with hypertheading) it's really overkill to use all of those at once.

I found the way to limit the CPU usage '-x "threads=8"' so it's just the GUI that's a problem at this point.
