Steps to reproduce the problem (If Applicable): Tried several times with the same results. Ensured that Handbrake was connected to internet.

HandBrake version (e.g., 1.0.0):1.5.1

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

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

Not sure what's causing the issue, although in this case the log does suggest a workaround:

Code: Select all

Unable to connect to the HandBrake Worker instance after 10 attempts. Try disabling this option in Tools -> Preferences -> Advanced.

IIRC, the only thing you would lose is isolation between the worker process and the interface (so if an encode crashes, the graphical user interface would crash with it and the queue would stop too); but since it's not working in the first place…

Thanks Rodeo. I appreciate the help. I saw that too and maybe somehow I missed it, but I didn't see an option to disable the Handbrake worker:

Thanks again.

Tickbox under process isolation. Turn it off

Thanks s55. That seemed to do the trick. Thanks again.
