Install Kodi for mobile devices
I never convert subs

Open manually //[your_host_pc]/ripbot264temp/chunks/1.avs in mpc-hc on not working pc. I suspect some error from avisynth.

[FuzzyNutz]

please add a gpu denoise option that's ~1/2 of KNLMeansCL1.

hevc encodes seem marginally less detailed than avc at the same crf. is it common to up the quality, (lower the crf #) for hevc (vs. avc)?
perhaps crf 18 for hevc vs 20 for avc.

It is a known different behaviour, more apparent in lower resolutions; HEVC is more often used for HD resolutions where it has advantages over AVC, and loss of detail is less apparent.

There are strategies to reduce the loss, the most radical is disabling SAO, others are related to tuning psycho-visual features.

Regarding your encoding issue: Do you even have AviSynth installed and working on the remote PC where the conversion shall run?

disabling SAO?

RB and supporting software are installed on all computers.
host pc has DE on and IP addresses. mac addresses auto-populated. not sure if DE on/off and settings matter on non-host computers.
i start EncodingServer on the non host computers and then start an RB job on the host. DE seems to be in a connection loop; jumping between encoding and idle with no progress.

how can i reduce the cpu loads on some clients until i improve the cooling?

I doubt that you can half it.

Setting #1 is:- video=KNLMeansCL(video,d=0, a=2, s=4, h=4

Setting #3 is:- video=KNLMeansCL(video,d=1, a=2, s=4, h=4

Setting #5 is :- video=KNLMeansCL(video,d=2, a=2, s=4, h=4

the ONLY change seems to be the "d" value, so if you know how to half "0", go right ahead, and I doubt that you could use -1.

Try MDeGrain's instead

So you got it working...

Why didn't you update the "non-host's" to 3.7.0 ??

The only way to reduce the load is to reduce the servers enabled, or don't use them at all, until you get the cooling sussed !!!!

Sample Adaptive Offset loopfilter ... has been mocked as "Smooth All Out" in earlier versions of the x265 encoder development. Current versions have several options to tune, limit, and even disable its use.

It is useful for the efficiency of FullHD and UHD resolution encodes. But its detail loss can become more obvious when you upscale the encodes of lower resolutions.

how might SAO be tweaked applicable to RB?

Copy Video Stream Option?

I just ran across a situation where it would be convinient to leave the video stream as it is and just recode the audio streams and remuxing the subtitles for a couple of the files being processed. Is there a "copy video" option? I thught I once did see one, but now I can´t find it.

double clicking the "jobXX_EncodeAudio1/2/3.cmd file(s) (within the applicable RipBot264temp job folder) manually launches the audio encodes. the desired tracks can be combined using mkvtoolnix or the likes.

i have an i5 10th gen and an Nvidia 1650 GPU.

im not after outright speed but more quality. currently im using CPU for 4K HDR encodes. im wondering if i should be using some sort of combination of GPU and CPU or will i loose quality?

windows control panel / power options / advanced settings / maximum processor state, gives per-client cpu control.

I just did a little "test", and it seems that you have to be using either .ts, or .m2ts files to have the "X.X Copy Stream" video option appear.

what does "reconnect" and "suspend jobless server" do?
