More often than not, Encoding Client detects the correct info, and you generally have to manually enter the servers IP/Port info (at least you've got them going) so you must be very close to getting it to work.

Might be an idea to post some screen shots of Encoding Client window (but don't post if directly here, as an attachment).

If you open Encoding Server, on it's own, it will display the Clients IP address...everything needs to match up for DE to work properly.

Good luck.

I removed the other computers and left just the main PC and the IP address matches what it's showing in the "settings" for the Client IP. As you can see, it freezes and does nothing. I am truly stumped as to what is happening.

It should be like this

192.168.1.3:1000

and you should see Encoding server in the taskbar with that IP address

Why do you hide local IP??????
Are you sure that encodingserver.exe started correctly? Can you show US what IP was detected in encodingserver window?

Guys, I apologize, as I stated above, I know enough to be dangerous. I am by no means a person who knows a lot about networking, etc. Right now I'm running with two PC's encoding as you can see with no problems but "Server 1" should be my main machine and as you can see the IP is there, but nothing happens.

Appreciate all the quick responses as I've been trying to get this to work now for some time.

BTW - for some reason on the main machine, I cannot open the "Encoding Server.exe" file. When I try to open it, it does nothing. However, I can open the "Encoding Client.exe" file on the main machine when Ripbot264 is not open. Don't know if that matters or not.

Known issue. Some software running in background is blocking encodingserver.exe. Try tuning encodingserver.exe in Safe mode.

HOLY SH*T!!! I got it to work. After you mentioned safe mode and I found another post from a while back stating a start up program was blocking the "Encoding Server.exe" from opening, I began narrowing the issue down. I went and disabled all start up programs (I only had 5 programs for startup) and found that my Razer Mouse software (Razer Central) was blocking it from opening. That doesn't make any sense as to why it would block the Server software from opening but it's working now.

It's INCREDIBLE having all four machines encoding at the same time. Thanks all for you help and finally figuring out what the issue is. This software is truly amazing!!

Hi Atak, just thought I'd bump this up from post #18491 (2).

I was (am) hoping for some feedback / suggestions for getting the best out of RB, and my new Ryzen 3950X.

Cheers

Minor feature request for consideration: allowing to name individual subtitle tracks via GUI (E.g. "English (SDH)", "Forced Foreign Parts, and so on). I very often have to go through MKVTooNix GUI to name the track, though maybe it's also possible by tweaking jobX_MuxFiles.cmd, not sure. Perhaps some people would also like audio track names, but I rarely use them.

Also, I tried converting several HDR sources through tonemapping and comparing them to their official non-HD counterparts, and the colors (saturation, contrast, brightness) are always off. I saw that you recommended a tweak in the DGHable plugin, but it was for a particular situation and I'm not sure whether it would work on all HDR sources. Is it possible to automatically convert HDR to quality identical to that of an non-HDR release? My knowledge of the subject is very superficial.

Auto-tonemapping will never give you the same results as manually tweaked by human non-HDR version of the movie. BTW. DGHable is not used by ripbot264.

Damn, I really hoped there'd be an easy way to auto-convert HDR stuff... Thanks for letting me know.

Hello guys!

I would like to send a message to the creator of RipBot264.
I'm a happy user of this encoder, I already made more than 200 fine quality movie encodes with it. it's a great software.

Now I would like to have a small request for the next update.

Could you please completely remove the "Title" fields from the audio, video and subtitle tracks please?

I made a few images what I'm talking about:









The reason is simple: it's a bit annoying to see that there, no other encoder is doing that, only RipBot.

Please let me know if this would be possible in the next update.

Thanks
Greg.

I know RB264 can read webm/VP8 files, but is there a way to encode TO VP8/webm?

Hey Greg,

Welcome to the forum.

Just curious, what are those screen shots of ?? (not the movie, the "player"), and where is this "info" being displayed, that is annoying you ??

I've never had this "problem" !!

Yes, it's MPC-HomeCinema.

And I can see that info on the Properties tab in all my movies/videos encoded with RipBot.

I don't understand why you are showing this info, what difference does this make to the playback of the movie file ?...it doesn't show it by default !!

Maybe you could try VLC or Potplayer.

Another minor feature request for consideration: Right-click on a job -> Duplicate Job.

Rationale: I often need to do several encodes of the same source using different settings. I do it to compare quality, but others do HEVC and non-HEVC versions or size-limited (4gb DVD)and CQ (12gb HDD backup) versions for example. Adding a duplicate job for the same source can take a while (demuxing, subs, etc.) It would be much easier to be able to duplicate the first job with all the subtitles, names and other settings, and just tweak the one or two values you want to change.
