Handbrake no longer encoding x265
Description:
After the 1.7.1 upgrade, any matroska x265 encode job fails almost immediately. The only logs I've been able to pull read:
[09:04:02] encx265: x265_param_default_preset failed. Preset (slow) Tune ((null))
[09:04:02] Failure to initialise thread 'H.265/HEVC encoder (libx265)'
The issue has also been reported upstream, but they think it is a packaging issue: https://github.com/HandBrake/HandBrake/issues/5580
Downgrading back to 1.6.X fixes the issue. x265 is installed.
Steps to reproduce:
- Open handbrake
- load video file to encode
- Select preset->Official->Matroska->H.265 MKV 1080p30 (or any x265 preset)
- Click start. Encode will fail after the subtitle scan
