<<Back to software description

Changes for v1.25.0 - v1.25.1

  • Changed: Native BDSup2Sub is now used by RipBot264 for subtitle manipulation instead of JAVA version (Java environment is no longer required by RipBot264!)
  • Fixed: KNLMeansCL [Adaptive] not working with 10bit sources
  • Fixed: EnhanceFineDetails script not working with 10bit sources
  • Fixed: Bitrate/size not calculated correctly if user added custom audio profile in Audio.txt
  • Fixed: Preview not working due to misconfiguration of mpc player
  • Fixed: Missing multi-channel audio profiles in 3rd audio tab



Changes for v1.24.0 - v1.25.0

  • Added: EncodingClient combines chunks with output file on fly as soon as they are encoded in correct order
  • Added: Option in EncodingClient to suspend jobless server
  • Added: Option in EncodingClient to shutdown server at IDLE state
  • Added: Audio profiles in ProfileAudio.txt
  • Added: Variable priority mode to EncodingServer.

  • Added: /restart-if-no-progress switch also activates extra process (SuperviseProcess.exe) in order to detect any hangs directly in EncodingServer.exe.
  • (logs are stored in %TEMP%\SuperviseProcessLog.txt and %TEMP%\EncodingServerLog.txt)
  • Added: Auto reconnect option in EncodingClient.exe
  • Changed: /knlmeanscl-opencl-device to /knlmeanscl-opencl-device-id and /x264-opencl-device to /x264-opencl-device-id
