Services is running. I can convert files just fine. When I first run the GUI and click Settings to change something, there is a message across top "MCEBuddy Status - stopped". I have to kill the GUI in Task Manager. I can re-run it and convert a file just fine.

Think I'm going back to the Oct build for now. Too many issues with the Dec one.

hmm, that is weird. Never seen this happen. Possibly your configuration files/installation is corrupted. Try doing a fresh install and see if it resolves your issue.

but the [HENC MP4] profile uses the cpu . isn't it supposted to use the videocard too?

Let me do more testing, but try this,

put ffmpeg first in the order and Techpro2004 suggested this too, replace -vcodec with -vcodec nvenc_hevc and see if that works

New Post: Multiple Conversion Tasks for Different Comskip.ini Files

December 16, 2015, 7:48 am

I've finally decided to master Comskip and have created different Comskip.ini files for various shows. My question is, what is the easiest way to configure my various conversion tasks in MCEB?

Here is the way I understand this. I create a "default" conversion task that matches all "*.ts" shows and uses a generic Comskip.ini file. I then need to create separate conversion tasks that match specific shows, by name or channel. My problem is, whenever I create a specific conversion task to match a specific show, I have to then modify my default conversion task, by adding a "~someting" so that it doesn't also try to convert the same show. Is there any way that MCEB can order its conversion tasks and quit matching after finding the first match, or am I going about this wrong way? Seems like there should be simpler way to manage this.

I swear I replied to this last week, but I don't see my reply now. Here is what I've found using the latest beta build. MCEB does correctly detect NVENC and now selects FFMPEG over Handbrake. That part seems to work great. I did notice that the test for NVENC was run an additional time, which seems redundant.

What still doesn't seem to work, is setting the proper parameters for NVENC. MCEB is still passing to FFMPEG the x264 options (which don't work with NVENC). Since the default profiles do most of their settings in x264 options, the encode uses "default" NVENC parameters for most things and this results in a lower quality than the profile would achieve using x264. I know that NVECN is never going to be comparable to x264, but letting all the parameters default definitely results in lower quality. This is the FFMPEG video options I've decided on for me in a custom profile that give pretty good results:
ffmpeg-video=-vf yadif=0:-1:1,hqdn3d,scale=1280:720 -vcodec nvenc_h264 -b:v 3M -bufsize:v 6M -maxrate 5M -preset hq -bf 3 -refs 5 -b_strategy 2 -me_method umh -me_range 16 -sc_threshold 40 -subq 8 -trellis 1 -chromaoffset -2 -i_qfactor 1.40 -g 250 -keyint_min 25 -qcomp 0.60 -qmin 0 -qdiff 4 -r 30000/1001 -profile:v high -level 4.0

In my custom profile I've also set ffmpeg-VideoOptimized=true so MCEB doesn't mess with any of my settings or else it tries to scale my bitrate when going from 1080i to 720p (my desired output size).

I've uploaded my new log file to the FTP site with this name: Discussion 648531-FFMPEG_NVENC.log

Nope you've got it right. For each new task you add with a filter you will need to update your catch all task with a negative filter to not process that new filter.

Mcebuddy will automatically turn on hevc encoder if support for it found.
See the log file and search for h.265 in it to see what mcebuddy detects.

Nvidia hevc encoder requires hardware CUDA capability version 5.2 or greater.
For Nvidia h264 encoder requires hardware CUDA capability version 3.0 or greater.

No ETA. It's a very complex issue and requires creating of custom direct show filters. Why the constraint in this when there are other ways to remux the file with multiple audio tracks.

Commented Unassigned: Xbox Extender won't play Conversions from ABC [2843]

So I've done as much troubleshooting as I can, but I am stumped.

TV shows recorded on the ABC channel Honolulu (KITV) when converted by MCEBuddy stutter when trying to play them on an Xbox 360 Extender.

I moved to Honolulu recently and did a clean install of my HTPC. My host HTPC that the Xbox Extenders connect to is an i3-2100 on a Z68 Gigabyte MoBo running Windows 7 Home Premium using Intel integrated graphics (no GPU). This is also the PC MCEBuddy resides on. The post MCEBuddy converted shows play fine on the host PC via WMP or Emby for WMC, they play fine on my Mac, and they play fine on my iPads via the Emby iOS app. However, they stutter continuously when trying to play them through WMC on the Xbox Extenders.

I've narrowed it down to only shows on ABC. Shows converted by MCEBuddy for NBC and Fox play fine.

It is not the specific Xbox, because both my Xbox 360s have this problem.

I thought it was MCEBuddy 2.4.2, so I tried the 11/20/15 build of 2.4.3 but it still happened, so I reverted to a version of 2.4.1 from before I moved that had always worked fine and it still happened.

I use a modified profile of the HQ MP4 profile where I also add in a AC3 audio track (H.264/AAC 2-ch/AC3 6-ch). So I reverted to the default HQ MP4 profile but it still did it. So I tried the HQ MKV profile and it still did it. I also tried the Fast MP4 profile, still stutters.

I unchecked hardware encoding and it still did it. I also made sure I had the most up-to-date Intel Graphics drivers. Still did it.

I unchecked 'detect and optimize video quality' but still did it.

I unchecked 'multichannel audio' but still stutters.

I thought maybe the beginning of the wtv files were corrupted, so I changed the 'start at' parameter of all profiles from 3 seconds to 60 seconds, but the converted files still stutter on the Xbox's.

I use the latest donator version of comskip and a custom comskip.ini.

I've uploaded the conversion logs for Modern Family and Agents of SHIELD (ABC shows) as well as the first 100,000 KB chunk of one of the original Modern Family wtv files (split using File Splitter from MCEBuddy ftp site), to a folder on the MCEBuddy ftp site called UPLOADS\ABC Shows.

If anyone else has a similar setup or uses MCEBuddy and Xbox extenders, can you try and convert the wtv file and see if the resultant mp4 or mkv play fine on your PC but stutters on the Xbox extenders?

This is driving me crazy!

Here is how I translated the libx264 options for use with NVENC:

libx264 AVoptions:
me=hex becomes ffmpeg -me_method hex
trellis=2 becomes -trellis 1
subq=8 becomes ffmpeg -subq 8
partitions=all doesn't translate to NVENC: -partitions all doesn't work
8x8dct=1 doesn't translate to NVENC: -flags2 +dct8x8 doesn't work
ref=5 becomes ffmpeg -refs 5
rc-lookahead=50 doesn't translate to NVENC: -rc-lookahead 50 doesn't work (NVENC doesn't support lookahead)
keyint=25 becomes ffmpeg -g 25
min-keyint=20 becomes ffmpeg -keyint_min 20
bframes=3 becomes ffmpeg -bf 3
weightb=1 doesn't translate to NVENC: -flags2 +wpred doesn't work
level=4.0 becomes ffmpeg -level 4.0
b-pyramid=normal doesn't translate to NVENC: -flags2 +bpyramid doesn't work
direct=auto doesn't translate to NVENC: -directpred auto doesn't work
mixed-refs=1 doesn't translate to NVENC: -flags2 +mixed_refs doesn't work
deblock=-1,-1 doesn't translate to NVENC: -deblockalpha 1 & -deblockbeta 0 don't work
no-fast-pskip=1 doesn't translate to NVENC: -flags2 -fastpskip doesn't work
no-dct-decimate=1 doesn't translate to NVENC: there is no ffmpeg equivalant
b-adapt=2 becomes ffmpeg -b_strategy 2
threads no equivalant

I also found it helpful to specify these:
-preset hq
-me_range 16
-sc_threshold 40
-chromaoffset -2
-i_qfactor 1.40
-qcomp 0.60
-qmin 0
-qdiff 4
-profile:v high

This is my complete video options from my custom profile I'm testing. I'm getting really good quality with this. I pretty much just translated the options from the x264 "slow" profile into ffmpeg options, where I could, to come up with these options.

ffmpeg-video=-vf yadif=0:-1:1,hqdn3d,scale=1280:720 -vcodec nvenc_h264 -b:v 3M -bufsize:v 6M -maxrate 5M -preset hq -bf 3 -refs 5 -b_strategy 2 -me_method umh -me_range 16 -sc_threshold 40 -subq 8 -trellis 1 -chromaoffset -2 -i_qfactor 1.40 -g 250 -keyint_min 25 -qcomp 0.60 -qmin 0 -qdiff 4 -r 30000/1001 -profile:v high -level 4.0
