mp3 converting error about hrconvert2

[zelon88]

I started working on this tonight. Look for an update in the coming days.

You've been waiting for an ill minute for this. Sorry about that!

The Problem

I think the problem is the way we're handling calls to ffmpeg. Ffmpeg is a scalpel, and we're using it like a hammer. To be honest, it's kinda a mess. We can make it better.

The Solution

We need to build ffmpeg from scratch at install time with "nonfree" and "GPL" muxers & demuxers included.

The past 2 nights I've been working on hammering out an automated build process for ffmpeg v6.1.1 with "non-free" & "GPL" muxers & demuxers included. This makes the installation bigger, more time consuming, & more complicated to install. But it will be worth it. I'm currently looking at a list of about 350 audio + video + subtitle formats that we can potentially support.

Next Steps

The time consuming part for me right now is organizing all the new formats we can support. We need it organized into...

• Input Formats - Audio, Video, Subtitles
• Output Formats - Audio, Video, Subtitles

Sadly this is a very manual process. Once that is done.....

• Associate file extensions with each muxer / demuxer.
• Separate supported formats into 2 arrays, input & output.
• Modify the logic of HRConvert2 so that it shows all files (input + output) in scratch space, but only shows output files in the extension dropdown selection box.
• Modify the Installation Instructions to include the ffmpeg v6.1.1 build process.
• Incorporate the ffmpeg v6.1.1 build process into the Dockerfile, then export a new Docker image.
• Create a script (Upgrade_existing_ffmpeg_to_v6.1.1.sh) for existing server operators to upgrade ffmpeg to the new "mega-ffmpeg".

So the fix is going to be huge.

Current Status

I'm working on sorting the input formats that the new ffmpeg supports into Video, Audio, Subtitle and Irrelevant formats. I'm discarding formats that are super-duper irrelevant or aren't exportable. If anyone wants to help with that, they can start on sorting the list of output formats...........
