*.aac was not created!

[kingcrimsonster]

Crashed encoding audio to AAC using neroaacenc.

This occured when *.mkv file contain audio in

Codec ID : A_AAC/MPEG2/LC

When *.mkv file contain audio in

Codec ID : A_AAC-2

(MPEG4 AAC)
encoding is finished without error, but in the "Job" tab I see line:

encoding audio to aac using ffmpeg

, when checked

enable to use NeroAACEnc instead of libav's aac encoder

Don't see any direct problem.
Does calling:

show any errors?
If not does calling:

show any errors?

Using:

ffmpeg -y -threads 8 -loglevel fatal -nostdin -i "E:\Temp\iId_3_aid_1_DELAY_-53ms_2021-01-10@20_48_29_7910_01.ac3" -ac 6 -ar 48000 -acodec pcm_s16le -f wav - | neroAacEnc  -q 0.75 -lc -ignorelength -if - -of "E:\Temp\iId_3_aid_1_DELAY_-53ms_2021-01-10@20_48_29_7910_02.aac"

works fine here, my guess is that it's a problem with the decoding of the source.

Ps.: Only real difference that is I see is that you are using the Windows/Temp-folder.

This line

encoding audio to aac using ffmpeg

is right?

[Selur]

Okay, it's a problem with ffmpeg decoding the extracted audio.
Hybrid used:

"C:\Program Files\Hybrid\64bit\ffmpeg.exe" -y -threads 12 -i "H:\!_gotovo\no\Jessie J Ariana Grande [iHeartRadio Jingle Ball 2014 (N).mkv" -map 0:1 -vn -sn -acodec copy -map_metadata -1 -metadata encoding_tool="Hybrid 2020.12.13.1" "C:\Windows\Temp\iId_5_aid_0_DELAY_-53ms_2021-01-10@23_06_59_6010_01.aac"

to extract the audio.
And I don't see any error in the debug output for that:

Problem is, if ffmpeg can't decode the extracted audio I can't do anything about it.

This line

is right?

If ffmpeg is used: yes.
Doesn't appear in the debug output.

Now checked

enable to use NeroAACEnc

[Selur]

No clue what you are trying to tell me with that.
That debug output doesn't show any errors and reencoding seems to have worked fine using:

"C:\Program Files\Hybrid\64bit\ffmpeg.exe" -y -threads 12 -loglevel fatal -nostdin -i "C:\Windows\Temp\iId_5_aid_0_DELAY_-53ms_2021-01-10@23_06_59_6010_01.aac" -ac 6 -ar 48000 -acodec pcm_s16le -f wav -  | "C:\Program Files (x86)\NeroAACCodec\win32\neroAacEnc.exe"  -q 0.75 -lc -ignorelength -if - -of "C:\Windows\Temp\iId_5_aid_0_2021-01-10@23_06_59_6010_02.aac"

Since you used another input file this time ("H:\!-Clips\80-90\Yello & Stina Nordenstam - To The Sea 1997 (N).mkv") it looks like the issue is with your previous input file ("H:\!_gotovo\no\Jessie J Ariana Grande [iHeartRadio Jingle Ball 2014 (N).mkv").
So this isn't a bug in Hybrid but from the looks of it a broken source.
You can try whether remuxing with mkvtoolnix can fix the source, but atm. it doesn't seem like there's anything I can do to help.

Cu Selur

[kingcrimsonster]

Again using another source "Talk Talk - Such A Shame 1984) (N) (1)" remuxed with last version mkvtoolnix.
Again seening line

encoding audio to aac using ffmpeg

[Selur]

according to the debug output neroaacenc is used but fails again.
No clue why you see 'encoding audio to aac using ffmpeg', might be a bug in the minimizing call, you can check the used calls when disabling 'Minimize job command lines'.
Since the encoding still doesn't work even after mkvtoolnix remuxing I can't help with that file.
To me that file simply seems to be broken or not supported by libav thus Hybrid can't handle it.

If you share your 'autosavedJobs.xml' form your settings folder which contains a job where the 'encoding audio to aac using ffmpeg-glitch happens I can look at it today after work.

Cu Selur

[Selur]

Okay, I see the cause of the glitch.
Due to your settings Hybrid:
1. encodes the audio (ffmpeg -> neroAACEnc)
2. cuts the audio (using ffmpeg)
and the cutting step is wrongly shown as 'encoding audio to aac using ffmpeg', while it should show 'cutting audio using ffmpeg'.
-> small glitch, not related to the encoding/decoding problem, will fix later.
