Handbrake start button greyed out

English Applications
#1

Hi,

I’m using openSUSE 11.3 with Gnome.
I have installed Handbrake 0.9.4-1 from packman. After I installed it, I can choose the source, but Start, Pause and Add to Queue button are all grayed out. I googled this and found someone else asking the same question but no answer.

The same with 11.3 kde 4.4.
The version packaged for 11.3 (at packman) only became available 9 hours ago. Try upgrading

Hi,

I tried to find a repository which have Handbrake some days ago (I checked it also after your comment today). But also in the Packman repository I can’t find this software :.
Where/how did you find Handbrake?

Best wishes

Michael

Hi,

thanks for the answer.
Now, I got the reason why Handbrake is not in the repository: there is only a 64bit version for 11.3. I’am using 32 bit. I will install the version for 11.2.

Hi
Well you could just download the latest src rpm and rebuild that?

I was able to fix this issue with the Handbrake Package ( handbrake-gtk-0.9.4-1.pm.4.3.x86_64.rpm ) by instalilng the unstable one located here.

PackMan :: Package details for handbrake-unstable

handbrake-unstable-gtk-0.9.4+3398-0.pm.1.6.x86_64.rpm

Did not work for me. Looks like a package for 11.2, and install failed. But, the rpm for Fedora I downloaded their website (https://build.handbrake.fr/) seems like working. I haven’t tried it now the start button is active and I see the thumbnail of the source. I downloaded HandBrake-svn3452-Fedora_GUI_x86_64.rpm.

Sorry. A lot of typos. :slight_smile:

Well, I see I’m not alone having this issue with Handbrake. I’ll wait for an update, whishing it will work better…

#11

Please upgrade to version 0.9.4+r3473 which I’ve built and uploaded this morning.

I’ve discussed with upstream and they prefer that version to be packaged, also because it fixes a number of things that were broken in GTK2 2.19 (and 11.3 uses 2.20).

If there are still issues with that version, please let me know (although that will need discussing it with the authors, e.g. on their IRC channel (#handbrake on irc.freenode.net)).

Hi Pascal
Have downloaded the new version and this is working (just waiting for a
transcode to finish). Many thanks for fixing :slight_smile:

You’re welcome.
Sorry for the delay on the 32bit build, it required some patches.
