Hi Renojim
could you provide a sample of the command you use? I have an elaborate bat file, for 90% of the files it's great - the other 10% cause me some grief 🙂
Thanks

How complicated do you want to get? The basic command is:
HandBrakeCLI -i video.avi -o video.m4v -O -r 29.97
I usually add to that the size of the input file. It's a quick and dirty way to roughly preserve the quality.
HandBrakeCLI -i video.avi -o video.m4v -O -r 29.97 -S [size of video.avi in MB, rounded up]
Now if you really want to get complicated...
I use 4NT (or Take Command) from JP Software to replace the Windows command line interpreter - highly recommended. The free TCCLE is all you need. I created an alias to encode files:hb=D:\Apps\Multimedia\HandBrake\HandBrakeCLI.exe -i "%@filename[%1]" -o "%2%@name[%1].m4v" -O -r 29.97 -S %@int[1+%@eval[%@filesize[%1]/1000000]] %3
You have to put that line in a file, like 'alias.lst', and then load it with: alias /r alias.lst
This way to encode a file I can just type:
hb video.avi d:\Videos\
To encode all the files in a directory, I can do this:
for %a in (*.avi *.mov) hb %a d:\Videos\
Hope this helps!

Could you download and try this video and see what happens? The "206 Partial Content" message tells me that you have the proper server, so it could be a problem with your video encodes.

This is the same issue I have been reporting!!! In my case it seems to have started (stopped working) with release 1517 of the Roku firmware.
As you know - my videos were playing fine (well some of the rotation issues on iPhone videos you knew about) and once 1517 got pushed to my roku's I get the status bar about 5 to 10 percent and then back to the folder... I did not change anything on the server side..

Hmm... I know you said you haven't changed anything on the server side, but have you tried stopping and restarting it? What you've described sounds like the problem that was addressed a while back. Do you get the "206 Partial Content" messages on the server? Are you running the private channel version, or one of the earlier versions?
I'm not sure what to try since I don't have build 1517. Is there anyone else that has that build that can verify whether there's a problem with videos?

Funny, I looked back over the page a couple of pages back and apparently I had build 1517 at one point. That box has since updated to 1521. However, canaws and I both had everything working with 1517.
The "206 Partial Content" messages won't appear in the log file; they'd show up in the server window itself. Check to see if you're getting those messages, or just "200 Ok" messages.

Thanks JT - I am going to try one of the videos with just framerate of 29.97 and see if it works fine after a reboot. If it doesn't I will try to upload a copy somewhere for debugging. My router is a Linksys E2000 and both the server and Roku are connected to it, so not sure if it would be a router issue. Photos and Music plays fine, so hoping that it is not a Windows Vista firewall issue either.
