Inspired by many sites and posts, I've put together a basic Linux Bash Script that will convert Video files after SABNZBD downloads. This script will run HandBrakeCLI and convert all videos downloaded to a format compatible with the Apple TV 2.

I included some code to copy the converted video over to my NAS, so you can use this as well or simply comment out that code.

I am no scripting expert, so I'm sure there are improvements that can be made. Feel free to post any improvements you can think of!

Enjoy!

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

#Config Variables

#Let's get the variables from sabNZBD

function convert
{
        file="$1"
        newfile="$NAME".$Extension

        echo "CONVERT: Source File: $file"
        echo "CONVERT: Destination File: $newfile"      

        # Let's check that the Destination Dir is there:

        if [ -d "$Destination" ] 
        then
                #Convert
                echo "Starting Conversion..."
                $HandBrakeCLI --input "$file" --output "$Destination/$newfile" --preset="$Present"
                
                if [ $? -eq "1" ]
                then
                        echo "ERROR: Conversion Failed...  Terminating"

Great script for ATV2's not running XBMC, or if you download 1080p content or 720p larger than 8gb.
