Hi, One way to test if this script does what you want would be to temporarily change this line: > ffmpeg -i "$filename" $opts "$destDir"/"$baseName"."$destExt" by adding 'echo' to the front of it, thus: echo ffmpeg -i "$filename" $opts "$destDir"/"$baseName"."$destExt" And then run the script and visually confirm the commands it echoes are what you want it to run. Another useful test is to paste the entire script into the site https://www.shellcheck.net/ and read whatever advice it provides. Most shell scripting guides contain bad advice. This is a good one: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashGuide http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashFAQ _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
