Can you share the script?

Hey byteshare, interesting point, however, did you notice that going back a month or more, that Atak actually added references to MD1, MD3 in the RipBot ini ??

But, alas, I can't find any actual scripts...

I have MD1, MD2, MD3 & MD4, in Custom Filters, with different thSAD numbers.

I got great results using MD3 thSAD 800 on "The Fifth Element".

I have several other older movies that will need to same treatment, it takes a long time, that's for sure, but the end result is definitely worth waiting for.

Atak, would it be possible that you add the possibility of adding a job in command line mode, of the style: ripbot264.exe <FileIn>
this would generate a job in the working folder of RipBot264
that would go well with the '/ start' option existing since v1.17.1

Wouldn't be better to just setup watch folder with your own encoding settings?

Thanks but this is not the goal, my goal is to be able to use your software in CLI mode, so as to be able to automate certain tasks with the help of a scripting language such as AutoIt.
that would save me from having to manipulate RipBot264 windows

Sure, here is a pretty reasonable starting point IMO:

SMDegrain(video,tr=3,thSAD=400,thSADC=150,refinemotion=false,contrasharp=true,plane=4,pel=2,
prefilter=4,Truemotion=False,chroma=true,hpad=32,vpad=32,str=2,amp=1)

It uses KNLmeansCL (GPU) as the prefilter if you can't use GPU set to 3 (CPU) for DTTtest.
More info here: http://avisynth.nl/index.php/SMDegrain
Parameters

SMDegrain (clip input, int "tr", int "thSAD", int "thSADC", bool "RefineMotion", val "contrasharp", clip "CClip", bool "interlaced", int "plane",
int "Globals", int "pel", int "subpixel", val "prefilter", clip "mfilter", int "blksize", int "overlap", int "search", bool "truemotion", int "limit",
int "limitc", int "thSCD1", int "thSCD2", bool "chroma", int "hpad", int "vpad", bool "lsb", bool "lsb_in", bool "lsb_out", int "mode",
val "Show", float "Str", float "Amp")

Not sure why he made reference to them since they worked fine before and after the changes. Even with MD2 there isn't a way to change the thSAD like there is for KNLMeansCL "mono noise" `h=`, so even if MD1-6 were added you'd already need to get into the AVISythn script or custom scripts for different levels of thSAD, or some changes but again for people that don't know what they're doing it is way easier to over do the denoise and get a "clean" blurred video. thSAD isn't the only option for MD or SMD that will affect the noise just the most obvious for most people.

If there was a way to have more than one folder watched or something in the filename to dictate which settings to use that would be great, because I don't want the same settings for all of my files. I can understand those that do want the same settings for all of their videos or if the vast majority of the files they are processing are going to use the same settings...I'm just not one of those, and even when ~80% of my videos are one setting it doesn't seem like much of a stretch for me to just add those last manually in batch.

You can specify different settings for each folder.

So the path at the beginning should point at \RipBot264v1.25.0\Tools\AviSynth plugins\KNLMeansCL

and then the rest

SMDegrain(video,tr=3,thSAD=400,thSADC=150,refinemotion=false,contrasharp=true,plane=4,pel=2,
prefilter=4,Truemotion=False,chroma=true,hpad=32,vpad=32,str=2,amp=1)

or show me your full script to be sure

OH!? I never tried to add a second folder. My fault for assuming.

for the plugins and scripts it goes like this:

Loadplugin("*path*.dll")
Import("*path*.avsi/avi")

I load more than I need because I don't like going through and figuring out the missing DLLs/AVSs/AVSIs when I decide to put in another filter while testing things quickly...that said I use something like (more than you need):

Atak, so it's not possible to introduce cli option to add job manually ?
too much complex ?

[byteshare]

At the end of a job things got stuck:

Please wait... Combining chunks...

I had 22 other jobs have no issues before this. I don't know if there is somewhere else to look into this (errors or logs).
I'm on core 2020.01.17 (v1.25.1)

I stopped the job and started it, and all of the chunks had to start over?
Encoding it again, will be ~12hrs until I get another result.

[tkwou]

Yeah I had similar occur on a few occasions now. I'm on v1.25.1. The chunks get combined to make video.264 but encoding client doesn't close and muxing can't start. I just end up running the mux.cmd to finish the job. I tried to just close encoding client but sometimes it's no longer in the processes list of taskmanager so I usually just terminate Ripbot264.

Open temp folder, stop the program.
Run CombineAllChunks.cmd and then run jobX_MuxFiles.cmd
Open the program, remove the job and continue

If it comes up again, I'll try that. Thank you.
The encode muxed correctly the second time.

In that case, stop the encoding. Go to temp folder, start one by one 1.cmd, 2.cmd (those that the video files are lost, 1.264, 2.264) etc
Then go to #18333

I've done this before. I didn't expect the temp encoded chunks to get restarted when I aborted and started again, that was the main issue to me. I thought (incorrectly) that I would stop it and then RB would see all of the chunks are done so it would try to mux again

[Pauly Dunne]

Hey guys,

A reasonably significant auto update...

Core 2020-02-08
ffmpeg
lsmash
matroska splitter (new, but not really)
mkvtoolnix
mpc

[ImEverlasting]

I just updated to new core, 02-08, Using distributed encode, after every encode finishes, but before the encoding client exits.... it hangs. Chunks don't combine back and when I try to "Abort" nothing happens. I have to kill encoding client using task manager again. Then manually combine chunks and mux files using cmds in temp folder.

0 hangs on my machine. Just checked with 37 jobs in queue. Chunks combined. EncodingClient closes correctly.

[ImEverlasting]

So I've done more testing today and the hangings seem to be cause by the servers going to sleep. I've noticed this because as soon as there's no more chunks to encode, the chunkless servers are being put to sleep, causing the hang in EncodingClient. If none of them go to sleep (of the 10 servers) then everything works fine. Is there something in rip bot putting servers to sleep? I know 100% all servers are set to not sleep in windows settings.
