BUG: CLI does not save

[finmux]

Avidemux2.6_r2017_03_29_3be36cbe029

• Make working project with GUI
• Save it as .py
• Run it from commandline:

Code Select Expand

/Applications/Avidemux2.6.app/Contents/MacOS/Avidemux2.6.app --output-format mp4 --quit --run project.py --save ./output.mp4

• Program runs - but no output.mp4

This definitely works fine on Linux (though using avidemux3_cli makes more sense here, eliminates also the need for --quit). Are you sure you are in a location where you have write permissions? Does

Code Select Expand

/Applications/Avidemux2.6.app/Contents/MacOS/Avidemux2.6.app --output-format mp4 --quit --run project.py --save ~/output.mp4

make any difference?

edit: in other words, are you aware of your location in the terminal? "./output.mp4" places output.mp4 into the current directory, "~/output.mp4" places it into your home directory.

/Applications/Avidemux2.6.app/Contents/MacOS/Avidemux2.6.app --output-format mp4 --quit --run project.py --save ~/output.mp4

make any difference?

Actually I tried also absolute path. Using tilde - no difference. Weird thing is, the project is very simple and works like a charm, if I push save from GUI.

Does this log say anything useful?

Commands are evaluated from left to right
so
--output-format mp4 --quit --run project.py --save ~/output.mp4

=> quit immediately

Better to use
--output-format mp4  --run project.py --save ~/output.mp4 --quit

No cli on osx by default, due to the way it's packaged

Oh, I see, thanks. Interesting enough, while the GUI in fact closes immediately, the encoding dialog stays open till the encoding is complete on Linux.

Still no luck. By the way "--quit" does not do anything. GUI has to be closed by hand. Can someone confirm that on mac scripts+cli works? I have tried in two different machines. Last test was on up-to-date Sierra...

Could you repost the output when you put the parameters in the right order ?
The one provided above exits immediately as expected

[finmux]

Here you go. Different machine. Sierra onboard...

Looks like no parameters are passed to the application at all.

True indeed. This works:

Code Select Expand


export FONTCONFIG_FILE=/Applications/Avidemux2.6.app/Contents/Resources/fonts/fonts.conf
cd /Applications/Avidemux2.6.app/Contents/Resources/bin
./avidemux --run /Volumes/BIGSTORE3/script.py --save ~/test.mp4

ah yes , the small shell script that does the trampoline inside the .App does not forward the parameters most probably
