I got it working just how I want it but, I'm having trouble, I think from not knowing MS cmd to well..

When I ran a few tests I copied a few mkvs to directory "F:\test" and it worked.

Now that I'm confident on what I'm doing, I want to run it on all my movies. I pointed audioconvert to "F:\HD MOVIES\HD Movies" but it tells me its an invalid directory.

Is it the spaces between "HD Movies" that makes it an invalid directory?

Can you post the actual command you are using? In the CMD window you have to have the " " around the directory path. I can't tell if your are doing that from your post or not. Here is an example of how I use it.

SAGEAudioConvert.exe -inplace -kbps=640 -priority=normal -language=all defAc3Lang=en -force "D:\\Movies\Movie with spaces in it (2009)"

You can also get the command in place in the CMD window without the directory at the end. Browse with Windows explorer and drag it over to your CMD window and it will include the quotes around the directory.

aaaaaaaaaaah whoops.. I didn't put the quotations in there. Got it now. Thank you hugenbdd!

When I was testing it worked with the following:
sageaudioconvert -force -defAc3Lang=en F:\test

but when I tried:
sageaudioconvert -force -defAc3Lang=en F:\HD MOVIES\HD Movies
it did not work.

So don't forget to put the quotes around the directory... got it

I just updated to the latest beta to get rid of the experation notice. When I run the command below on a bluray ripped move, it starts playing in vlc media player. I don't think this is normal..??

SAGEAudioConvert.exe -inplace -kbps=640 -priority=normal -language=all defAc3Lang=en -force

Bump, I'd like to set this up with SJQ.

I am also receiving the error that was reported several posts back and hasn't been responded too.

I'm running SageTV7, latest beta, with the latest versions of SJQ and SJQc on Windows 7.

SageAudioConvert.exe runs great from a command prompt, but when I try to schedule it to run under SJQ I receive the following client error:

Hi

The error occur because sjq capture the console output and I am doing the same to report back the progress % of externals programs. If I add a new switch like -noprogress it will fix the problem.

Do you have any others request before I recompile it?

Mike

I really like your tool. I used it the other day and it worked great.

I had both the DTS and AC3 tracks embedded. When I went to play it on my HD200 it defaulted to the DTS track and I had to push the audio button on the remote. Is there a way to make the AC3 track default or remove the DTS track with your tool?

[ohpleaseno]

That would fix the only problem that I have with it. Thanks!

I will check that out soon. Right now I am going to solve the other bug

I made something different. Can you try that one SageAudioConvert0.1.16. Just replace the .exe with this one.

Thanks

I would, but going to the link above gives me this...

You still have version 0.1.15. Look at the 3rd row. You should have 0.1.16.
Have you replace the .exe? The modifiy date should be today around 7:32pm.

Mike

[ohpleaseno]

Yeah, it's updated and says 7:32. That's why I said it was still reporting 0.1.15

What it is reporting from the command line? Just launch SageAudioConvert.exe without parameters.

[ohpleaseno]

0.1.16, but I'm realizing that SJQ is acting up like a mofo, so let me sort this out before I get too much farther.

[ohpleaseno]

I won't get into the type of "operator error" that caused me to not get this right, but after sitting down and actually thinking for a minute, everything works perfectly. Queued up, processed and finished with NO problem.

Thanks!
