Batch encode - variable number of audio tracks in the source
Hi,
When batch encoding different source material, the individual source files might have multiple audio and subtitle tracks.
using cli:
... -a 1,2,3 -E copy,copy,copy -s 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
Subtitels scan fine. If a subtitle track does not exists a warning is printed and handbrake-cli skips that track but proceeds properly
"Warning: Could not find subtitle track 2, skipped"
However, if there are less audio tracks than specified on the CLI (e.g. -a 1,2,3) but track 3 does not exist and error is thrown and handbrake quits:
"ERROR: Invalid audio input track '3', exiting."
This behaviour was introduced in changeset 1681 (https://trac.handbrake.fr/changeset/1681).
This prevents from batch encoding files while passing through multiple variable audiotracks.
I was wondering about the reason for the changeset 1681. Can it be reversed to allow for the same behaviour as for the subtitles (auto-skip)?
best regards,
Oliver.

Re: Batch encode - variable number of audio tracks in the so
Audio should work like subtitles in that regard. I might look into it if I have the time.

THANKS RODEO!!!!!
(I eagerly await! This is my #1 most anticipated feature; will make batching show DVDs a whole heck of a lot easier.)

Re: Batch encode - variable number of audio tracks in the so
This patch (or a variation of it) will land in the nightlies at some point, but only after the 0.9.6 release.
Re: Batch encode - variable number of audio tracks in the so
Any update on this yet Rodeo?
Re: Batch encode - variable number of audio tracks in the so
No one has reviewed my patch yet. I won't commit until at least another dev considers my patch to be OK and ready.

I'm really looking for an solution on this.
Has your patch made it to a released version or is there some workaround?
thanks,

I would believe that would be the post that is right above yours.

First: nice software!!!
But I'm missing this feature in handbrake-cli 0.9.8 from official ppa.

It's only in the nightlies. Next version will have it.comzine wrote:I'm missing this feature in handbrake-cli 0.9.8 from official ppa.

Thanks Rodeo! As a new user to HandBrake CLI, this was the first problem that tripped up my batch processing. It's great to see the problem has been resolved. Will check out the nightlies.
