I’m trying to get a post process script to turn the audio to aac because that’s reasonably quick and saves me transcoding.
For the life of me I can’t see how to fix this.
If I run the script manually on the final destination file it works fine, however inside plex it just always errors with:
Unable to find a suitable output format
Script:
#!/bin/bash
sleep 2
NOW=$(date +"%m%d%Y")
LOG=/mnt/disk4/DVR/log.log
BASEPATH=$(dirname "$1")
BASEFILE=$(basename "$1")
check_errs()
{
# Function. Parameter 1 is the return code
# Para. 2 is text to display on failure.
if [ "${1}" -ne "0" ]; then
echo "ERROR # ${1} : ${2}" >> "$LOG"
# as a bonus, make our script exit with the right error code.
exit ${1}
fi
}
echo "Starting $NOW" >> "$LOG"
echo "File: $1" >> "$LOG"
echo "Dest: $BASEPATH/$BASEFILE.tmp.ts" >> "$LOG"
/usr/bin/ffmpeg -loglevel debug -i "$1" -c:v copy -c:a aac "$BASEPATH/$BASEFILE.tmp.ts" >> "$LOG" 2>&1
