Hi, Is there somewhere more details on syntax if using DCPomatic thru CLI? I've tried ">dcpomatic --help" and ">dcpomatic_cli --help" but there is not much to drink and I'm really thirsty... Thanks, Fred

I recently tried to use the GUI server on a 2 core machine and noticed the CPU load was not at 100%. I tried to use -t 4 with the GUI server, but it didn't work - it's only an option on the CLI version. Carl, would the GUI encode server and batchconverter take over the thread setting from the full GUI version preferences? - Carsten

Yes, at the moment the GUI server and batch converter will read the DCP-o-matic config file and use the setting from that. If no such file exists, they will try to guess the best number of threads to use by asking the operating system how many cores are available. Best regards Carl

Hi Fred Here on Linux, I see: $ dcpomatic_cli --help Syntax: dcpomatic_cli [OPTION] <FILM> -v, --version show DCP-o-matic version -h, --help show this help -d, --deps list DCP-o-matic dependency details and quit -f, --flags show flags passed to C++ compiler on build -n, --no-progress do not print progress to stdout -r, --no-remote do not use any remote servers -j, --json <port> run a JSON server on the specified port -k, --keep-going keep running even when the job is complete <FILM> is the film directory. Are you using Windows? Cheers Carl On Wed, 2 Jul 2014, fred.bobigny(a)laposte.net wrote:

I'm on Ubuntu and I get the same display which don't help me to know how to pass options to dcpomatic. i.e. how to create a DCP from a .mov file with all the options that can be defined in the usual interface. In fact, I'm looking for something like VLC CLI which is even more powerfull than the common interface ;) May be batch converter would be more relevant to process thru CLI on a headless server? Thanks for your help, Fred

Hi Fred, The idea with dcpomatic_cli is that you would load your .mov file into the GUI DCP-o-matic, set things up and save the metadata.xml file, then you could use dcpomatic_cli to encode the DCP (perhaps on another machine). I think dcpomatic_create is more what you want, but it isn't very fully developed. You can do something like dcpomatic_create -o my_film_dir -c FTR -n "My Great Movie" --container-ratio 185 --content-ratio 185 dcpomatic_cli my_film_dir The first line creates the "film" directory and metadata.xml, the second line does the transcode. If you need any more options in dcpomatic_create, let me know. Cheers Carl On Wed, 2 Jul 2014, fred.bobigny(a)laposte.net wrote:
