of course, getting bigger CPUs and GPUs always is the best way

I picked Ripbot because of the distributed encoding mode in order to include all PCs at hand. Instead of spedning hunderts of euros for new gear, the PCs sitting around can do the same task "for free"...

Adding all the XEON Servers here in the office gives me a plus of aorund 30fps in the pool with the mentioned settings.

I´d have to spend around 800 Euros to get a euivalent of speed in new hardware.

Since Staxrip and others are able to use the CPU OPENCL in the Xeon Servers - and since ripbot is recognizing them - maybe it´s just a small change in the programm ?

This command will restart encoding on server if ffmpeg.exe and x264.exe/x265.exe are not using cpu cycles for 1 minute.

Basically I'm checking USER TIME for specific process. This value increases if application is working.
I checked and I have /restart-if-no-progress already in my command line. I haven't had FFMPEG stall out like I mentioned before but I was just going over my command line.
Code:
/port xxxx /minimize /priority low /restart-if-no-progress 8
To be clear...I changed the port to xxxx, but they are all the same 1000, 2000, 3000, etc...
I'm still waiting for it to happen again so that I can take more notes.

New features
Support for chunked encoding

--chunk-start and --chunk-end Frames preceding first frame of chunk in display order will be encoded, however, they will be discarded in the bitstream. Frames following last frame of the chunk in display order will be used in taking lookahead decisions, but, they will not be encoded. This feature can be enabled only in closed GOP structures. Default disabled.
Not sure this can be used for DE mode but if so it would help encodes be slightly better, no?

4K Disc Seamless Branching Causing Audio Sync Issue

So I'm still encountering this issue.

I rip a 4K disc to the hard drive that has seamless branching, such as Incredibles 2. I then use Ripbot to pull in the movie and process it. The output will have out of sync audio towards the end of the movie. I think this only happens on 4K discs that are towards 2 hours or longer.

The work around I've been doing is to use MakeMKV to create a video file from the same source and then pull that into Ripbot to process it and it comes out fine. Only caveat seems to be Ripbot throws and error when pulling in a mkv file that has a TrueHD stream in it.
Decoding Error
FFAudioSource: No audio track found
(D:\Temp\Ripbot264temp\Job1023\getinfo.avs, line 4)

So I create two MKVs, one with AC3 which Ripbot pulls in fine and is processed, and the other with TrueHD, that I mux in the TrueHD audio stream after the Ripbot finishes with the first file.

Could you provide a little more info about your setup?

Have you tried using sources TimeCodes in your encoded file to see if that fixes the problem?

Why no I have not. Where would I find that option?

The audio is in sync up to a certain point towards the end of the movie, then it is no longer in sync. I don't have this problem with Blu-ray sources, only Ultra Blu-ray. And the problem with Ultra Blu-ray is those discs that have seamless branching. In Incredibles 2, there are three different movies for each language. So lots of seamless branching going on. Also had this happen for discs that have the theatrical and extended cut in one disc using seamless branching.

I've got an interesting problem on one of my machines. All of a sudden I can't load the encoding server. I run encodingserver.exe and it flashes in the taskmanager for a fraction of a second then disappears (no logs anywhere I can find). I can run the encodingserver.exe from the old tools folder (from late 2017 I believe) and it loads just fine. I did a refresh of the system and have the same issue even though it's a "blank" machine! Any thoughts?

Thanks!

A quick update. I built a second machine from scratch and had the same issue. encodingserver.exe loads for a fraction of a second then unloads. The old version works fine on this machine as well.

Check the following:
- Firewall open for the used port of the servers and ripbot client?
- All versions up to date on all machines? (Run ripbot on all machines and check, if it updates.)
- SMB reachable? Try opening the network share manualy

Does this fix this issue?

did you check the SMB network if your machine has access to the ripbot directory?
