Title: batch processing
Post by: fhutt on February 15, 2022, 04:32:05 AM
I have used batch processing before with an earlier version of Avidmux. I do not remember the version it worked with.

I have now updated Avidmux to V2.8.0.
I created the .py project file as befoe and removed the lines that I did before following https://www.gaelanlloyd.com/blog/batch-processing-video-files-with-avidemux/

Unfortunately, using V2.8.0 with this .py file does not work.

What other changes do I need to make to be able to batch process numerous files with V2.8.0.
Thanks

Instead of linking to external websites, please post the script you are trying to make usable with 2.8.x here, preferably as attachment and with the extension changed to .txt to please the forum software.

I found the problem and it is completely my fault.
A have to apologise for the question in this thread.

In renaming the project file so that it means something in each case I unwittingly included spaces in the file name. Unfortunately, the batch file I am using stripped all text before the last space so the file name specified to Avidmux could not be found.
Avidmux just used the default settings ignoring any filters I tried to set.

Once I removed the spaces Avidmux and the batch file is now working fine.

Paths with spaces need to be enclosed in quotes, that's all.
