Resolution for "help - ?" key in Batch Render Menu
(Rather than continuing old discussions over different emails, starting a new thread of moderation). GIT checkin of the "help" key addition to the BatchRender menu is complete with 10 language translations for the Quick Start by RafaMar. I had to do a lot of testing today to try to make sure there are no hangs, but I could have missed something so hopefully there are no problems. Some notes follow: 1) Most likely only new or occasional users will need to take advantage of the help so there is no impact to the majority of people. Especially since with the fast computers these days, Batch Render is considered to be more of an advanced feature. 2) The majority of people using the help key will already have a browser up in another window. But* if no browser is already up*: a) the following message: ###!!! [Parent][RunMessage] Error: Channel closing: too late to send/recv, messages will be lost may come up in a terminal window as an informational message as you "browse" around, but should have no effect on Cinelerra. b) the following message: [Child 8939, MediaDecoderStateMachine #2] WARNING: Decoder=7f2eba25cc00 Decode error: NS_ERROR_DOM_MEDIA_*FATAL*_ERR (0x806e0005): file /builddir/build/BUILD/firefox-81.0.2/dom/media/MediaDecoderStateMachine.cpp, line 3470 may come up in a terminal window as an informational message as you "browse" around, but should have no effect on Cinelerra. I tracked this down in my situation to YouTube videos using newer plugins that I did not have hooked up to my browser which would not play and instead just said "Something went wrong". So basically, error messages that were probably there all along but you just did not see, might now be visible. To clear up and get no more of these messages, you can quit out of Cinelerra and then take the browser down and bring it back up as you normally would -- at least this is what worked for me. -------------------------------------- Note to *Andrea*: if you have a chance to confirm the above, that would be highly appreciated. Note to *Walter*: there really is the possibility of a hang in Cinelerra where the user could lose work so xdg-open instead of the environment variable had to be used. This was true of firefox which is the only browser I tested. All of the Shell Commands continue to use CIN_BROWSER and I could not get any hang with the same usage there. Most likely you will not need to use the Batch Render help key anyway. ------------------------------------- I am moving back to test "multiple backups" as provided by Andras and Andrew. Then hopefully the library upgrade as Andrew wrote about a few days ago.
Note to Andrea: if you have a chance to confirm the above, that would be highly appreciated. From my tests the warning appears only if you open the browser (I use Firefox) with the "?" button. The message appears when you close the browser. If Firefox is already open then the message does not appear, when I use the "?" button.

Ok perfect, if you need me to try something, let me know. I use archlinux and FabioLolix PKGBUILD in aur. cinelerra-gg-git. note; so far I am learning about this video editing topic. and studying some programming, c / c ++ -- - | Walter Casanova | - - | Gnu / Linux - SysAdmin | -
