Bug/Error w HB Low Disk Space Warning

Post by decard »

Bug With HB Low Disk Space option/Warning
HandBrake version (e.g., 1.0.0):1.6.1
Operating system and version : Win 10 (64)

i have struck a fatal error

1. HB complains about low disk space even though i have almost 900gb! free on that device, and the Low Disk Space setting was set to default of 2gb

2. then when i click the Yes (Continue) option, nothing happens and the Queue still says paused

and it simply will NOT restart Queue.

huh?

UPDATE

i have discovered that this [Censored] program just ignores all the Program options you set INCLUDING the location of where to save the output files!!

so it was busy burying the output files in C:\..\users\admin\videos!!

which is precisely where I did not WANT any f*g files!!!

for precisely that reason!!! that C: drive which is JUST for my OS and software DOES NOT HAVE MUCH FREE SPACE.

which HB happily chewed up all of it!!!

instead of using the carefully specified Media drive in the program options with almost 900gb FREE SPACE

which would be the case for almost everyone!!!!!!

hence the disk space error messages!!!!

WTF.

PS ... and it goes without saying that , espec for a app such as this, sticking video out files on the C:\ under Users is a really really f*g stupid default output file location

it quite bizarrely stupid.

it would be quite hard to think of a WORSE location. in fact, i can't.

the install should ASK where the user wants the optput files saved at the get-go!!

my settings always place the destination file in the same directory where the source file comes from. Is the source on a local drive, the destination is placed on the local drive, if the source is on a network drive, the destination is placed on the network drive. Thus I would say, you are disproven, that Handbrake does not use the settings:

Update your temp dir location rather than hyperbolic profanity.
