New Post: R9 290 - how to check if MCEBuddy is using GPU/OpenCL encoding
I've donated and got v 2.3.15
Currently converting some MCE recordings. How do I check if my GPU is being used for conversion? It seems rather slow...
I have I7-2600K and R9 290 4GB.
Thanks.

And yes your encoder is using QuickSync hardware accellerations. See the below lines from the logs:

You're using a high quality conversion, your original video file is 2 hours long and 1080p resolution. You're getting a FPS of about 30 FPs which is slightly on the lower side.
![Compare CPUs - hd_other_samsung_earth_from_above - Q264 - Main - FPS]()
This could be because:
1. Your chipset is old, you log shows Intel microarchitecture Sandy Bridge, the newer chipsets are faster.
2. Your CPU/GPU is being used by some other process (check the utilization using CPUZ and GPUZ)
3. Your video driver is slow (try updating to the driver
10.18.10.3379
4. You are using a high quality profile which is slower than regular profiles

New Post: GPU/Hardware Encoding and Acceleration FAQ's
This thread is a quick compilation of the FAQ's being asked around and answered related to GPU and Hardware encoding:
These drivers have been uploaded for your convenience here:
32bit - https://www.dropbox.com/s/8u98nhumankk0zd/Intel_10.18.10.3379_x86.cab
64bit - https://www.dropbox.com/s/vk8q84uqjdicyov/Intel_10.18.10.3379_x64.cab
These are CAB files (taken from Windows Update) and you will need to extract the files and then manually install them. See this thread for more details (https://mcebuddy2x.codeplex.com/discussions/548361)
Open the conversion log after the conversion is complete. To check if QuickSync is supported look for the following EXACT words:
If your Intel QuickSync encoder is being used for encoding, in your log you will find the line
To check if OpenCL is support by your driver look for the exact words in the log:
If you have a bugger driver, the symptoms may vary, from slow encoding to hanging the system, crashing the system or error messages in the logs. An example of a buggy driver or if you're running heavy graphics apps/games while using hardware encoding can take the wind out of the Intel driver and causing it to run out of resources, you might see things like this in the log:

1. What platforms and devices are supported for GPU encoding
MCEBuddy supports QuickSync and OpenCL (currently through Handbrake). QuickSync is used for encoding the video and OpenCL is used to accelerate the decoding and video processing (deinterlacing, resizing, cropping etc). It can support any driver (Intel, ATI, NVidia) that support QuickSync and OpenCL2. What is the most stable driver for Intel QuickSync
The most stable driver for QuickSync we have tested is 10.18.10.3379These drivers have been uploaded for your convenience here:

These are CAB files (taken from Windows Update) and you will need to extract the files and then manually install them. See this thread for more details (https://mcebuddy2x.codeplex.com/discussions/548361)
3. How do I know if MCEBuddy is using hardware acceleration
This is a two step process, first find out if your system and driver support hardware acceleration and then check if the encoder is using it.Open the conversion log after the conversion is complete. To check if QuickSync is supported look for the following EXACT words:
QuickSync encoding supported availble ->A True or False will tell you whether hardware encoding is being used. Right now "pure" hardware encoding is supported with QuickSync.
If your Intel QuickSync encoder is being used for encoding, in your log you will find the line
encoder: H.264 (Intel Media SDK)If this line is not there then the QuickSync hardware encoder is not being used even if your driver supports it.
To check if OpenCL is support by your driver look for the exact words in the log:
OpenCL version:If OpenCL is supported, you will need to manually enable the options (see the thread below for details) that will accelerate some functions while encoding and decoding.
4. Suddenly my encoding time is taking very long or for some video it takes a long time
Very likely your Intel driver is buggy and is causing issues. Use the version 10.18.10.3379 and it should resolve your issues. Latest drivers are not always the most stable or faster drivers.If you have a bugger driver, the symptoms may vary, from slow encoding to hanging the system, crashing the system or error messages in the logs. An example of a buggy driver or if you're running heavy graphics apps/games while using hardware encoding can take the wind out of the Intel driver and causing it to run out of resources, you might see things like this in the log:
2014-04-15T20:43:36 MCEBuddy.AppWrapper.Handbrake --> Encoding: task 1 of 1, 0.02 %[20:43:36] qsv_enc_init: using 'hardware (1)' implementation, API: 1.3

2014-04-15T20:43:36 MCEBuddy.AppWrapper.Handbrake --> ERROR: qsv: Not enough resources allocated for QSV encode
5. My system crashes or my system hangs or I see many errors in my log file when I try to convert a video
See FAQ 4 above, if you driver is buggy it can cause unknown issues with your system, because the encoding is done in the video driver and the video driver runs in the kernel space it can use the system to become unstable or even crash. The best way to determine if the video driver is causing the issue is to TURN OFF hardware encoding on the Conversion Options -> Expert Settings and then see if the symptoms go away. If do they try to update to a stable driver.6. Is OpenCL and QuickSync hardware encoding auto enabled?
MCEBuddy will auto detect if you have an Intel QuickSync enabled chipset and enabled QuickSync encoding.-
If you have an Intel chipset and another graphics card and MCEBuddy is not detecting the QuickSync, use the FakeMonitor trick (http://mirillis.com/en/products/tutorials/action-tutorial-intel-quick-sync-setup_for_desktops.html#top) to enable the Intel graphics chipset and get MCEBuddy to recognize it.
- If you have an older CPU like a Pentium/Core/Core 2 and good graphics card from Nvidia or ATI, then you may want to add -U the end of the handbrake-video line in the profile. This will enable hardware decoding. This ONLY works if the GPU is more powerful than the CPU, it will reduce the performance on new CPU's which are much more powerful at decoding compared to graphics cards.
-
If you have a newer graphics card (very powerful) which supports OpenCL 1.1 then add -P to the end of the handbrake-video line in the profile. This works if you're using cropping reducing the video size (or the profile is using lookahead). Again, this will help only with a powerful graphics card with OpenCL drivers. If used on a weak graphics card it can reduce performance.
See this thread for more details: https://mcebuddy2x.codeplex.com/discussions/530808
7. I have an Intel chipset, does it support QuickSync and which Chipset provides the fastest performance
So far only Intel Sandy Bridge, Ivy and Haswell chipsets support QuickSync encoding. Of the three our research has shown that Ivy Chipset is the fastest of the three.You can find more details here:
http://www.tetrachromesoftware.com/q264Test1Analysis/q264test_4.html
8. My encoding is taking a long time even with hardware acceleration enabled or my FPS appears to be slow/low
Encoding performance depends upon many factors which can impact the FPS or time taken to encode. These include:- Profile being used (High Quality take more time)
- Profile bitrate, higher bitrates take more time
- Input and output resolution, HD and high resolutions take significantly longer times
- Your GPU and CPU are being used by other processes or you have multiple simultaneous conversions. Check your GPU and CPU utilization using the CPUZ and GPUZ tools while encoding
- Check your hardware chipsets being used, some chipsets are faster than others (see FAQ 7 above)
- Check your video driver, buggy or slow video drivers are the primary cause of slow encoding. See FAQ 2 and FAQ 4 above
-
Sometimes OpenCL settings are incompatible and may cause a slow down in the performance if manually enabled (see FAQ 6 above)

Commented Feature: Parse Sage XML [1887]
Sage has the ability to also create XML files it contains data that is not found in the properties file.
is it possible if given to you an XML file that contains sage data ... Including the fileID and MediafiledID that you can Parse these to a variable?. I believe doing this will complete SageTV completely. This will enable SAGETV users to keep the recordings with all the details in SageTV. See below in bold. I have some full XMLS in UPLOAD\NYPLAYER

New Post: R9 290 - how to check if MCEBuddy is using GPU/OpenCL encoding
Thank you for all info.
I know the limitations of my CPU/Chipset. I was hoping that 2.3.15 will use my R9 290 GPU to provide substantial boost in FPS/Second.
Frankly, that was the main reason I spend money on it.
In any case, does the R9 290 contribute to encoding or is in only relying on Intel to the job?

New Post: Disable check for hardware encoding
Hi,
Firstly let me say thank you for a truly useful piece of software. I've been a long-time user of MCEBuddy and it just keeps getting better and better.
After a long period of neglect I decided it was time to upgrade from 2.0.<something> to the latest donator release 2.3.15. I didn't want to disrupt the ongoing setup on my HTPC until I was comfortable I had the new SW running how I wanted it, so I first installed on another Windows7 machine. I have that machine working great with my preferred Handbrake-based profile which uses custom commands to load the converted file into iTunes on a mac.
I then migrated this to the HTPC and duplicated everything including the profile & mcebuddy.ini files, pointed the jobs to the right folders and away it went - until Handbrake crashed.
Here's the relevant section in the 'staging' (working) environment's log:
2014-06-21T22:44:56 MCEBuddy.AppWrapper.Handbrake --> HandBrake svn6167 (2014041701) - MinGW x86_64 - http://handbrake.fr

You can see that it sees a GPU with v1.1 OpenCL and a CPU with no support of Intel Quick Sync. All proceeds as expected with SW-only encoding.
On the HTPC with the same input file, the log is quite different:

I tried un-ticking the 'Hardware Encoding' setting in MCEBuddy, but no change. On the HTPC, Handbrake dies at the same point. On the Staging PC the log is still exactly the same and it still checks for OpenCL support.
I know this is an AMD bug, and MCEBuddy is not in control of whether Handbrake checks for OpenCL support or not, but I couldn't find any options in the Handbrake docs about this. Is there any way to truly disable hardware encoding AND the check for OpenCL support?

New Post: Disable check for hardware encoding
Unfortunately no. The basic check will happen when handbrake starts. Here are your options
1. Update the Drivers (best option)
2. Download the latest nightly build of handbrake cli and replace it in the handbrake folder
3. Download handbrake 0.9.9 and use the CLI version (no hardware).
I would also highly recommend that you report the issue to the handbrake devs. They may want to fix the crash if possible for future builds.

In another post, someone suggested that MCEBuddy couldn't detect commercials in audio only files as it contains none of the markers normally found in broadcast video.
Has anyone had a successful experience using MCEBuddy to detect and remove commercials from audio only files?
Thanks

New Post: Meta Correction Entries
Is there an easy way to copy the MetaCorrectionEntries from 1 Task to another. When I do rename I have several corrections. Then later I encode tp MP4 and I have to retype all the MetaCorrectionEntries ... or Else it will encode with the Uncorrected name.

This NOT recommended due to chances of mistakes and manual issues. But, done CAREFULLY it will work.
Open settings (click settings) Create the new task, save it. (Click Ok)
Make sure you DONT click Start before the next step (ie the engine should be stopped state otherwise you will lose the manual changes you make below)
Open profiles.conf in notepad. Copy the relevant setting from the original to the new task (look for the section headers) (make sure you don't copy paste blindly. Check what you are copying, things like destination directory et should be validated.)
Once done save the file.
Click on Start to load the new settings. Then click on settings to view the new settings and revalidate them.

Took me several times to do it. Wound up typing them in. Any reason why this is not a Global Setting?

Moving away from global settings as much as possible to make mcebuddy more flexible.

EARLY ACCESS SPECIAL OFFER
"Just wanted to let you all know that I wish I had donated earlier. Joining your Early Access Program is a more than reasonable cost for what you're offering. The latest version of MCE Buddy and Comskip are super fast and so much more accurate. Having an evening's television show(s) converted, all the commercials removed and ready to be put onto my iPad for the train commute to work in the morning is never a problem now. With the "free" version of the software, while still a solid product, sometimes the conversion was still going on the next morning and I would have to wait until the next day to watch. With your latest, 50% faster, version the conversion never goes past 2 am for a night with several TV programs I record with Windows Media Center. Thank you to everyone who worked on the project and contributed."
The work you put into MCEBuddy makes its use limitless
