Grok for DcpOMatic CLI

Post by kristophm »

Hello,

I have obtained a GROK license for GPU encoding with DoM. My question is, if I'm using the CLI interface, where do I input the license information, and do I need to specify a flag to explicitly use grok?

Lastly, I've downloaded the package but it's unclear where I should be putting this such that DoM can find it and use it.

Hi @kristophm,

Is this is a headless instance ? For desktop system there is a GPU tab in preferences
where you can configure the add-on.

Cheers,
Aaron

Hi @boxerab,

If by headless you mean CLI only (no desktop GUI), yes correct.

So I run using https://dcpomatic.com/manual/html/ch15.html#idp34 and https://dcpomatic.com/manual/html/ch15s02.html. Those docs don't seem to have a flag to indicate GPU use or a Grok license key.

Please let me know if you need more info.
