[BUG] x265 1st pass encoding never starts
#11
The uhd option Hybrid does make some changes, problem is that I assumed that the '--uhd-bd' option would automatically enforce those options, which it does not.
I checked the x265 source code and it does add some changes, but all the cli options are checked and not automatically enforced.
-> send you a new dev version link via pm which should fix the issue, by Hybrid not hiding the option.

You think that why?

It's just when I read the debug text. It said the video should be 10 bits, 4:2:0, progressive, etc.. as if my video wasn't of this kind. I understand now it's only a generic text explaining all the rules to follow for the encoding to work.
It doesn't say "your file is not..." but "Your file should be..." without saying if my file is actually correct or not. I first misunderstood the text.

Actually yes, when checking the box 'uhd bd', some settings are "greyed", I mean it's not possible to change these settings, unless you uncheck the box again. But they are not changed by the fact of checking the box. At least, it seemed to me.

Ok I tried the new version you sent to me.
To go fast, I just encoded the video but I didn't check all the settings.
The encoding process failed again but there are so much informations, I really don't see what's happening.

Note that it's the first time I have to install VapourSynth. I wanted to avoid this but it seemed mandatory here.
I only installed VapourSynth R52, then "Hybrid and plugins".

Since the debug output doesn't hold any info the only thing I would say to test what happens if you call the encoding call in a terminal,..

I tried to refine the settings to be more accurate.
The encoding failed again.
You'll find the debug.

I stopped the encoding process when I saw, in the debug, it was already paused :
Setting m_startingJobs(2) to FALSE

I spent some time in the debug text to find the command line to put in the Terminal. It's impossible to me.. I can't find it.
I know you try to make me understand the main steps of the process with your answers, but I really don't know how to use Terminal, except by copy/paste...
Could you give me a clue to find the main command line?
I tried the part after "-> MainCall" but it was not a command.

Hi Selur,

I copied the code above in the terminal (I finally figured it out...).
I get : -bash: /Applications/_Mes_Applis_/Video/Conversion/Hybrid.app/Contents/MacOS/x265: Permission denied

I went to /Applications/_Mes_Applis_/Video/Conversion/Hybrid.app/Contents/MacOS/x265
I see the x265 file has a generic icon (icon of a basic document). And the same for MP4Box file.
Most of the other files have an "exec" icon, which is the basic icon on Mac for a Windows application or an Unix application.
It seems x265 and MP4Box are not considered by the Mac as applications but as documents.

But is this a problem for encoding to work? I don't know.
What do you think?

Thanks.

Permission denied, sounds like a rights issue.
What does:
ls -la /Applications/_Mes_Applis_/Video/Conversion/Hybrid.app/Contents/MacOS/x265
show?
sudo chmod 555 /Applications/_Mes_Applis_/Video/Conversion/Hybrid.app/Contents/MacOS/x265
should allow every user to execute the file. (replacing x265 with MP4Box etc. should fix this for other files too)

Terminal says:
-rwx------  1 root  admin  20658136 21 déc 17:42 /Applications/_Mes_Applis_/Video/Conversion/Hybrid.app/Contents/MacOS/x265


sudo chmod 555 /Applications/_Mes_Applis_/Video/Conversion/Hybrid.app/Contents/MacOS/x265

I did the sudo command, then asked again Terminal with the first line. It says :
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  admin  20658136 21 déc 17:42 /Applications/_Mes_Applis_/Video/Conversion/Hybrid.app/Contents/MacOS/x265

And in the Hybrid package (Contents/MacOS/), x265 has now the correct icon.
Of course, I did the same with MP4Box.

should allow every user to execute the file. (replacing x265 with MP4Box etc. should fix this for other files too)

I put the encode command line in the Terminal.
It started the encoding and created a .265 file ! It seems good.

Now I'll try with Hybrid itself.
I'll tell you the result.

Thanks again for your help!

Thumbs Up 
Hi Selur,

I confirm the new version of Hybrid you sent to me is encoding in x265. The process is ongoing but the result should be fine.
Thanks Smile
