One suggestion: a processing directory to improve performance with systems that have multiple disks. The output file is saved there, then moved to final directory upon successful completion.

One suggestion: a processing directory to improve performance with systems that have multiple disks. The output file is saved there, then moved to final directory upon successful completion.

All of my files are downloaded to a general temp drive. Sabnzbd then moves the files to my 4TB raid 0 media center. That's where all the processing is done.

I do all of this with the sabnzbd catergory folder setting.

That's all I've needed.

[macfloripa]

We have 2 types of processing going on here:

1) sabnzbd - download and unpack
and
2) handbrake

Based on the sabnzdb documentation it looks like user scripts are run after completed jobs are moved to the final directory. So a temp file would only help with downloading and unpacking.

To improve I/O performance I would like have handbrake use a temp directory for the output file (on a separate files system).

handbake -i filesystem_1/input_flle -o filesystem_2/outputfile

then move the outputfile to the sabnzbd final dir

[johnnytk36]

ah, i see. I dont need that as my 4 drive raid zero is more than a beast to handle it all.

Its defiantly possible. I won't be doing it anytime soon.

This link will help you with the paths that are passed to the script.

Humm. Got a hectic week this week but I'll look into it this weekend.

Does it work if you use the iPhone 4 preset?

HANDBRAKE_PRESET = "iPhone 4"

I'm currently facing the same problem -- below are Sabnzbd log entries (replaced private directories by ***):

@agr85: For the import to itunes one, can you open AppleScript Editor, select "Event Log" in the bottom, select "Events" and "Replies", paste in the below code, replace FILENAME with what you removed from below (the three stars in the line that goes "error : checking iTunes : ERROR 1: 32:140: execution error: iTunes got an error: Can’t get every " and then click run and tell me what the "Event Log" window shows.

Code: Select all

tell application "iTunes"
	get (count of (tracks of playlist "Library" whose description is "FILENAME"))
end tell

It should look something like:

Code: Select all

tell application "iTunes"
	get (count of (tracks of playlist "Library" whose description is "Grey's Anatomy - 08x21 - Moment of Truth"))
end tell

As for the other one, shoot me an email at the bottom of this page: https://sites.google.com/site/imthenach ... ing-script. It looks either there is a problem accessing the source file, or there is a problem running handbrake. I'm going to need a copy of your entire config section.

This is what shows up in the Event Log: (result is partially in Dutch, meaning 'iTunes got an error, <filename> could not be retrieved')

Code: Select all

tell application "iTunes"
	count every track of playlist "Library" whose description = "rihanna_ft_drake-whats_my_name-x264-2010-fray"
		--> error number -1728
Resultaat:
error "iTunes kreeg een fout: every track of playlist \"Library\" whose description = \"rihanna_ft_drake-whats_my_name-x264-2010-fray\" kan niet worden opgevraagd. " number -1728 from every track of playlist "Library" whose description = "rihanna_ft_drake-whats_my_name-x264-2010-fray"

I had this problem too... The issue is that when you edit the file with TextEdit, the file gets extended attributes added, one of which is com.apple.quarantine. You can tell if it has extended attributes with the ls command if it has the @ symbol:

You can fix it by removing the extended attributes with the following command:

Code: Select all

xattr -c handbrake.py

FYI, this attribute is what is set to give you that dialog after you open a file from the internet where you have to confirm that you want to run it. Since this is being called from within the SAB process, it can't present you with that dialog, and you get the OS error from Python...
