rush [Question] How to run commends that include flags.

Prerequisites

[x] make sure you're are using the latest version by rush -V
[x] read the usage (rush -h) and examples
Running windows 64-bit version in commend prompt

Describe your issue

[x] describe the problem
[x] provide a reproducible example

I want to run a commend but rush keep detecting the flag in the commend. The commend being: ffmpeg-normalize -sn -cn -t -16 -lrt 50 -tp -1.5 --keep-lra-above-loudness-range-target -vn -e="-c:a libmp3lame -ar 44100 -b:a 32k -abr 2 -ac 1 -q 0" -c:a mp3 -ext mp3 -of "C:\Users\someone\Desktop\FFBatch\normalized"

I tried this which gave me error of unknown shorthand flag: 's' in -sn

dir /b | rush -q -j6 'ffmpeg-normalize -sn -cn -t -16 -lrt 50 -tp -1.5 --keep-lra-above-loudness-range-target -vn -e="-c:a libmp3lame -ar 44100 -b:a 32k -abr 2 -ac 1 -q 0" -c:a mp3 -ext mp3 -of "C:\Users\kevan\Desktop\FFBatch\normalized" {}'

Then I tried this which didn't work:

dir /b | rush -j6 'ffmpeg-normalize \-sn \-cn \-t \-16 \-lrt 50 \-tp \-1.5 \-\-keep\-lra\-above\-loudness\-range\-target \-vn \-e="\-c:a libmp3lame \-ar 44100 \-b:a 32k \-abr 2 \-ac 1 \-q 0" \-c:a mp3 \-ext mp3 \-of "C:\Users\kevan\Desktop\FFBatch\normalized" {}'

I also tried add -q or -Q or using / instead of \ but didn't reach a working commend.

Am I missing something?

does cmd accept single quote? try

rush "xxx -x \"yyy\" "

Thanks! I got it to work with:

dir /B | rush -j=6 "ffmpeg-normalize -sn -cn -t -16 -lrt 50 -tp -1.5 --keep-lra-above-loudness-range-target -vn -e \"-c:a libmp3lame -ar 44100 -b:a 32k -abr 2 -ac 1 -q 0\" -c:a mp3 -ext mp3 -of \"C:\Users\kevan\Desktop\FFBatch\normalized\" \"{}\""

Nvm I found a new issue. Running the cmd with --dry-run I see weird outputs where the last {}\" is placed in the wrong place.

Looks good to me (in Linux):

What happened if you remove --dry-run?

The last " seems to be placed base on the command prompt scale/word wrap. If I resize after the output the " moves not sure why it replaced the 1 for most but one of the output has the 1 still.

Oct 21 '24 04:10 someonenameguy

I don't now. How about use the default cmd of Windows?

I just installed the latest ffmpeg (from here), python 3.13.0 and install https://github.com/slhck/ffmpeg-normalize with pip, in a Windows 10 VM.

I downloaded an ogg file from here and save it into C:\Users\shenwei\Desktop\test.

I used the command below (-abr 2 is not used as it reported that 2 should be a boolean value), and it worked.

cd C:\Users\shenwei\Desktop\test

dir /b 
file_example_OOG_1MG.ogg

dir /b | rush  "ffmpeg-normalize -sn -cn -t -16 -lrt 50 -tp -1.5 --keep-lra-above-loudness-range-target -vn -e \"-c:a libmp3lame -ar 44100 -b:a 32k -ac 1 -q 0\" -c:a mp3 -ext mp3 -of \"C:\Users\shenwei\Desktop\test\" \"{}\""

dir /b

I used the command below (-abr 2 is not used as it reported that 2 should be a boolean value), and it worked. That was typo on my side I mean to set -ac to 2 not -abr to 2.

I updated ffmpeg to N7.1 and ffmpeg-normalize from 1.28.2 to 1.29.0 Also I ran chcp 65001 before hand.

I'm trying this command for now if there no error will close this issue.

dir /b | rush -j6  "ffmpeg-normalize -v -sn -cn -t -16 -lrt 12 -tp -1.5 --keep-lra-above-loudness-range-target -vn -e \"-c:a libmp3lame -ar 44100 -b:a 32k -ac 2 -q 0\" -c:a mp3 -ext mp3 -of \"C:\Users\kevan\Desktop\Music\Song\normalized\" \"{}\""

Hmm still have issues with some files. If I do a echo test this happens:

Add -q for files with special characters

  -q, --escape                    escape special symbols like $ which you can customize by flag
                                  -Q/--escape-symbols

  -Q, --escape-symbols string     symbols to escape (default "$#&`")

That still cause issues as the program will see the \& as new dir/loc.

I copied the previous test file and renamed them to 4 cases (with Chinese characters, symbols &, (, ), [, ], *, '), running commands below worked (without -q).

cd Desktop\test
chcp 65001

dir /b

dir /b | rush -j5  "ffmpeg-normalize -v -sn -cn -vn --keep-lra-above-loudness-range-target -c:a libopus -e=\"-b:a 200k -vbr 1 -compression_level 10 -frame_duration 60 -map_metadata 0 -map_metadata 0:s:0 -id3v2_version 3\" -ext ogg -of \"C:\Users\shenwei\Desktop\test\" \"{}\""

Thank you for the help. I guess the cmd is just a bit weird.
