Batch Scan Issue

Post by spetrillo »

Hello all,

I am running Handbrake 1.6.1 on my Windows 11(22H2) PC. I am trying to transcode video files that exist on a network share to my NAS. I can pull up the share and the file system to transcode, but Handbrake errors out that there are no valid source or titles found. If I look at the activity log it tells me that it cannot open the folder, with CSS authentication not available. What does this mean and how do I resolve this?

Thanks,
Steve

What files are in that folder? Can you post a screenshot somewhere?

Ok the screenshot shows my folder structure. I pointed Handbrake at the TV Shows folder, bc below it are the TV shows that I want to convert from MKV to MP4. As shown TV Shows folder opens to multiple TV shows, and then below one of the TV shows you will see the Season. In the Season folder is the actual video file to be converted.

I was using another tool, VideoProc, and it allows me to set my input at the TV Shows folder and it will get the files to be converted.

Handbrake will not scan sub folders, so your files will need to be in a single folder.

If you need to scan multiple folders you can script the CLI to do it.

OK thanks! VideoProc does support sub folders.
