I'm trying to shrink the size of some recordings. I went the the "Watch Listings" screen, highlighted a recording, pressed the "m" key to bring up the menu, went to "Job Options" > "Begin Handbrake Transcode". There was no feedback, so I went to the "Information Center" > "System Status" > "Job Queue" screen where the recording I had selected was shown in red font. In the "Details" area at the bottom of the screen it said

Job: Handbrake Transcode Status: Errored (mythtv)
ERROR: User Job returned non-zero, check logs.

Off I went to /var/log/2016-04-04 and did a "grep brake *.log". The only result was:

From a terminal, I did a "which handbrake" and got no results.

I ran myth-setup and looked at Job Commands. For the job description "Handbrake Transcode" the command was:
Code:
/home/mythtv/HBtranscode.bash "%DIR%" ...

I looked in my /home/mythtv folder, there is no HBtranscode.bash.

Is there someone using this feature that can tell me where to find HBtranscode.bash and if there is any other setup I need to perform to make this work?

This is on an R8.3 system. Thanks for your help.

Ken

I don't think that is anything default to LinHES. I can't find anything in our source named that and a script like that would not have been placed in /home but rather in /usr/LH/bin. Maybe it is something you added and forgot about?

We do include /usr/LH/bin/myth2mkv which uses Handbrake and is meant to be used as a user job. Instructions for adding it as a user job are in the script.

Nevermind.

I did a fresh install of R8.3 in a VM and discovered there is no "Handbrake Transcode" user job. This must of been something I saw and added many upgrades ago and had since forgotten about.

BUT, I did see the stock R8.3 release has a user job called "Encode to x264" that uses handbrake. I typed in this user job, kicked it off, and I can see that it is running; all the prerequisites are in place.

Sorry for the red herring.
