Re: HandBrakeCLI: Read preset from JSON file
You don't have to export-then-import them...
--preset-import-gui Import presets from GUI config preset file.
But you can:
--preset-import-file <filespec> Import presets from a json preset file. 'filespec' may be a list of files separated by spaces, or it may use shell wildcards.

Re: HandBrakeCLI: Read preset from JSON file
Hello, Woodstock,
thanks a lot for your assistance and my apology for not doing my homework carefully enough before posting: I overlooked it in the --help command and as the link https://handbrake.fr/docs/de/1.2.0/cli/ ... rence.html is a dead link, it took me some time to think "If the link for German doesn't work, let's try the one for English", which, of course works.
Kind regards,
Franz
