OpenCL.dll Error

Getting a new error after the latest update:

The program can't start because OpenCL.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

Going to see if I can find the OpenCL.dll somewhere. The Dell video driver wont' have it for the servers and I doubt the virtual machines video driver would have it as well.

I installed the Xeon OpenCL Runtimes for Intel Processors from:
https://software.intel.com/en-us/art...opencl-drivers
They make you register an account. That stinks.

So now I have opencl.dll and RB does not show that error, but it does not start the encoding servers or start itself up. It looks like it is calling openclinfo.exe in the process list but that never completes so the Encoding servers do not start.

If I manually kill openclinfo.exe using the process manager, soon after starting a encoding server, I can get it to start.

Subtitles v1.23.2

After all of the talk recently with subtiles (and audio while I was at it) I decided to give them another go in RipBot.
I have been for a few years now manually muxing audio (either a copy of source or processed outside of RipBot) and subs with a batch file.
Using the method that I've been doing does a few things for me:
  • Keeps MKV Title info (if there is any)
    Handles more tracks than RipBot seems comfortable with
    Gives me some audio controls not found in RipBot
    etc...
That said, I really do prefer RipBot over other encoders...

Okay what I tested. I tested a 15s clip with 5 audio tracks and 2 subtitles. (I'll post media info after this description)
Had "Skip demuxing Process" turned off in settings and was using the batch mode (doing this for single files would not be something I'd consider since I'd be handling many files at once).
For batch mode I had Remux Subs on and Copy Stream. Pictures of this:

If this is working as intended, so be it.
As I've said I already, I am used to batch muxing files outside of RipBot but my guess this isn't very helpful for videos with more than 1 audio track.
MKV title info is probably something very few people care about so no worries on that...I have my batch file

@Atak
Same error again
Code:
File:blah blah blah
FFVideoSource: No video track found
(E:\Temp\RipBot264temp\job68\getinfo.avs, line 2)
Is there a limitation with the number of subtitles in a mkv file?
This one had 38 subs. I removed a few with mkvmerge, now there are 21 subs

The job loaded with no errors

So I decided to abort the Job, then backing out of RB, upon restarting RB, it found the chunk that needed to be completed, which it did, but then it didn't progress to muxing it all back together

So I decided to abort again !!

And then on re starting the job again, the damn thing started from the very beginning

Can't tell you anymore than that, will update when this job is complete.

Update: OK, 1 hour & 12 minutes later, the 2nd attempt went thru without a hitch, however, for what ever other reason there's quite a audio sync problem

Update #2:So it happened again, on the very next job, you've just gotta kill whatever port has stalled, abort the job, re start RB, and hope it starts from where it left off.

Whatever the problem is, "Supervise Process" can't restart it.
So it looks like "stall" issue can not be fixed. For some unknown reasons both processes SuperviseProcess.exe and EncodingServer.exe hang at the same time. I give up. You will have to accept this problem or use something else.

So, let's say it's an FFMPEG problem, (which has been questioned), when was the last time RB had a newer version of that, updated ??

20180823, is when.

I just went to https://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/win64/static/, and correct me if I'm wrong, there seems to be a lot newer builds than that, available.....worth a try ???

OR, is there something else other than FFMPEG that can be used for what needs to be done ??

Just thinking out loud.
You haven't posted screenshot from process hacker/explorer but I'm 99% sure that I would see something like this

You can get them here: https://mega.nz/#F!8Tom3YjL!3QWwKc6cwiwQf-C3WxCZKw
There are 4 files in total.



I always use batch convert... so I did the same for this sample.
These are the settings used for the sample encode.



And as you'll see, the "bug" only happens when I use .ass subtitles (which is all I do use )
However, once the job is created and you go to the job-folder, the subtitle is fine - all lines are there.
Somehow the last line goes missing doing the encode.

Did a few quick test with older versions of RB
RipBot264v1.21.0 = Same result. Last line is missing.
RipBot264v1.20.0 = Works! All lines are encoded.
RipBot264v1.19.6 = Works! All lines are encoded.
RipBot264v1.19.4 = Works! All lines are encoded.

So it seems something changed from v1.20.0 to v1.21.0
Now... I need coffee! Please let me know if there's anything else I can do to help sort this issue.

They make you register an account. That stinks.

So now I have opencl.dll and RB does not show that error, but it does not start the encoding servers or start itself up. It looks like it is calling openclinfo.exe in the process list but that never completes so the Encoding servers do not start.

If I manually kill openclinfo.exe using the process manager, soon after starting a encoding server, I can get it to start.
Just received another update. I'm not able to get any encoding servers to start now even if I kill openclinfo.exe.

Edit: I'm having limited success getting a Encoding Server to run. Having to kill the openclinfo.exe process just right.

So far I've had less issues with the most recent version.

Well, after another VERY annoying experience with the current build of RB, I took a "video capture" of what was going wrong when RB "shit itself".

https://www.mediafire.com/file/a1dcz...43258.mkv/file
Encoding server window would tell you what went wrong. You will most likely see error saying "File \\Your-PC\RipBot264Temp\Job1\Chunks\1.cmd" does not exist!
This message pop-ups when there is not access to shared folder. You have "Auto reconnect" option enabled and therefore you see this endless loops of "Staring..." <-> "Queue".

I had exactly that issue on some machines (which worked fine before) - Interesting though - if the share is looked up in the explorer, everything is there, the batches can be opened manualy - but ripbot encodingersever complains exactly like you describe above..

I've noticed the same on virtual machine. If I authenticate shared folder via explorer (once) then everything is fine. What is weird that on real machine on my LAN this problem does not occur. I will have to investigate this issue a little deeper.

As far as I remember, the machines here with this issue were:

- older Core2DUO over a VPN (Router - Router) with Win 7 Ultimate 64 Bit (fairly fresh install, only some tax software is present, too....)..
- Intel NUC with Win 10 S 64 Bit on the same net as the master machine, completely fresh install, only one plex-server present, too.
- i5 Notebook with Windows 10PRO 64 Bit in the same net as master machine

All of them used to work fine in the past, nothing has changed on the machines (maybe some automatik updates from windows which I don`t monitor or keep track of..)

As Atak mentioned above - the error message appears in the encoder server window - did you see it there? In your video I see no encoder server window.

Forget about encoding in ripbot for some time and come back in next year to see if things are improved. Ripbot is a free software so you lose nothing. Just switch to other less frustrating software. Personally I don't care.

Admittedly, RB does a pretty good job on x264 files, but it just takes way too long to do "thing's" with x265.

I would suggest that if you could start from scratch with a RB type program (Ripbot4K) that is basically exclusively for x265, 4K encoding & limited filtering, & DE (of course) so that it only takes a couple of hours to run thru a 4K movie, instead of a couple of days.

For example, if you load a 4K x265 into MKVToolNix, it almost immediately shows everything that that file contains, then you add & remove the tracks you want, and within a fairly short time you have your "new" edited movie.

Like I said earlier, it takes approx. 30 +/- minutes to just load a x265 4K file.
I'm going to defend Atak here. You should not be complaining about the speed of x265 encodes or the amount of time it takes to rip them.

It is your choice to use whatever encoding settings you want. Either x265, x264, or the x264 with all the options it provides. There are tradeoffs. You can choose where you want the tradeoffs to happen. In quality vs size vs speed.

For example, I've tweaked my h.264 settings to this which increased my encoding time 30% but gave me a better encode in quality and size.

With all my servers running, I could see up to 90 frames per second during an encode. Those servers run about 2300 watts of electricity when running full tilt.

Now lets get to x265. x265 is HEVC. High Efficiency does not mean fast. The new codec provides roughly 50-100% better compression. But the compression comes as heavy cost to encode and playback. Just think that it takes 2-3 times the amount of processing power to encode compared to x264. On top of that, a single 4K frame is four 1080P frames. So 4K should take 4 times longer to encode then 1080P regardless of the codec being used to encode. Add your already slow encode just got slower. This does not included turning on MDegrain2.

So my servers can see 10-20fps encoding 4K without using MDegrain2. All the while consuming a huge amount of electricity.

We are at the beginning of general use of x265. Many years ago I had the same speeds for x264 encodes. But as hardware changes, those are now really fast compared to x265. A decade from now, x265 will be easier where we are at now for x264.

So how do you make your x265 encodes go faster. You need to throw money at the problem. Demuxing the streams is much faster on a SSD, but the Terabytes of encodes that I do, I would destroy the SSD in short order and in addition the cost to purchase the large SSDs are expensive. For encoding x265, I don't think there is anything better then the AMD Zen based chips.

So the saying with cars, How fast do you want to go? = How much money you want to spend. Applies in every way to this case. There is no free lunch here. Money = Speed.

Good news. I found the problem. During authentication instead of client's local computer name I was using ip address.

for example
Code:
net use \\192.168.1.100\RipBot264temp /user:UserName UserPassword
instead of
Code:
net use \\Client-PC\RipBot264temp /user:UserName UserPassword
I remember that someone in the past asked if I could use IP address instead of local computer name. In practice it turned out that it was a terrible idea because accessing shared folder via IP is ULTRA slow. I immediately reverted back my code to old method but I totally forgot about authentication command for server!

Well, x265 is not x264; it does not provide a "film" tuning, only: psnr, ssim, grain, zerolatency, fastdecode
