Cannot get script to remux HEVC video file

See original GitHub issue

Hi there,

I have a video file (ffprobe info can be found here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/26007478/) that I’m trying to remux using manual.py. The problem is that it’s trying to convert it to h264, which kills the CPU. Here’s my autoProcess.ini:

[MP4]
ffmpeg = /usr/bin/ffmpeg
ffprobe = /usr/bin/ffprobe
threads = auto
output_directory = 
copy_to = 
move_to = 
output_extension = mp4
output_format = mp4
delete_original = True
relocate_moov = True
video-codec = h264,x264,hevc,h265,x265,HEVC,mpeg4,MPEG-4,MPEG-H,h.265,h.264
video-bitrate = 18000
video-crf = 
video-max-width = 
h264-max-level = 
use-qsv-decoder-with-encoder = True
ios-audio = True
ios-first-track-only = False
ios-audio-filter = 
max-audio-channels = 
use-hevc-qsv-decoder = 
audio-codec = ac3
audio-language = eng
audio-default-language = eng
audio-channel-bitrate = 256
audio-filter = 
subtitle-codec = mov_text
subtitle-language = eng
subtitle-default-language = eng
subtitle-encoding = 
fullpathguess = True
convert-mp4 = True
tagfile = True
tag-language = en
download-artwork = Poster
download-subs = True
embed-subs = True
sub-providers = addic7ed,podnapisi,thesubdb,opensubtitles
permissions = 0777
post-process = False
pix-fmt = 
aac_adtstoasc = False
postopts = 
preopts =

And here’s what I get when I run the script:
