Handbrake Watcher is a command line tool that monitors a folder and all of its subfolders for media files with a designated extension (default .mkv) and transcodes them using the HandbrakeCLI command-line tool into a different codec (default mp4 with the 'High Profile').
Windows
> npm install -g handbrake-watcher
Mac/Linux
$ sudo npm install -g handbrake-watcher
Open a terminal window and navigate to the directory you wish to watch. Then run:
$ handbrake-watcher
This will start the daemon, which will scan the entire directory and subdirectories every 5 minutes. When it is finished converting a file, it will delete the original.
You can customize the operation of the watcher by placing a
config file named 'handbrake.properties' in the directory that
is being watched. Properties may also be overridden on the command line using -Dpropname=propvalue The following configuration options are
supported:
source.extension- The 'source' extension of files to look for. Default is mkv. Multiple extensions can be separated by spaces.destination.extension- The extension used for converted files. Default is mp4. E.g. This would convert a file named myvideo.mkv into a file named myvideo.mp4 in the same directory.handbrakecli- The path to the HandbrakeCLI binary. If you have this binary in your path already, then the handbrake-watcher will use that one by default.handbrake.flags- The flags to use for the handbrake conversion. Only provide flags that don't require a value. E.g. --all-audio. Separate flags by spaces. For a full list of HandbrakeCLI flags, see the HandBrakeCLI documentationhandbrake.options.<optionname>- Specify a particular handbrake command line option with value. E.g. handbrake.options.preset=High Profile is akin to providing the command-line flag --preset='High Profile' to HandbrakeCLI.delete_original- Whether to delete the original file upon successful conversion. Values:true|false. Default:true
