How to pick up Multiple Video files recursively folders inside folders

Post by manuce »

Description of problem or question:

Windows plat form

I have folders inside folders that contains multiple video files and its quite painful to select each folder and drag and drop on the HB so that it can pick up all those videos files and add them to queue.

Is there a way where I can give it the main top folder and then it goes inside that folder and check recursively if there any folders inside this main folder that contains video file and add them to the queue?


Steps to reproduce the problem (If Applicable):

1) Create Main folder put some video files
2) Create another folder inside this main folder and put some video files
3) Drag main folder on the HB and it will only includes video files from main folder and will ignore the child folder files

Main Folder(Parent)----> Inside this main folder ---> Child Folder (Containing video files)



HandBrake version (e.g., 1.0.0):

1.3.3 (2020061300)


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

Window 10 64bit


HandBrake Activity Log ***required*** (see How-to get an activity log)

Code: Select all

If you are unable to do so, please state why so we can help you.

You will need to script the CLI.

Hello,

In this case, I use the freeware Ant Renamer, in order to add the name of the folder to the filename. Then, I use the Windows search to extract the renamed files and put them in a new folder to load in Handbrake.
