AME crash introduced in 14.0.3 when using console es.executeScript

Using the following command caused AME to crash. 


"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder 2020\Adobe Media Encoder.exe" --console es.executeScript "D:\TEST\test.jsx"

Contents of script
var a = "b";

 

It seems this issue was introduced in 14.0.3 as the crash doesn't happen if i roll back to 14.0.1.

14.1 - Crash
14.0.4 - Crash
14.0.3 - Crash
14.0.1 - Works

 

I've confirmed this happens on two seperate machines.

Correct answer Bruce Bullis

So the question is... why if Extend Script Tookit is working do I need to use something like the command line way? The reason is because the Extend Script Toolkit or VSCode way do not allow for any form of automation. Thanks


ExtendScript Toolkit was <EOL> years ago, but the ExtendScript Debugger for Microsoft Visual Studio Code (the recommended ExtendScript development environment) works great. CEP panels in AME allow for ExtendScript-driven automation .

AME command line scripting is definitely NOT a recommended approach. 

 

The bug discussed in this thread, DVAME-4198877, was fixed as of AME 22.5.

Crash also with 14.4. 

 

Do you know how to execute a script by command line but with media encoder already ?

 

thanks

Just what you've already used:

 

"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder 2020\Adobe Media Encoder.exe" --console es.executeScript "C:\Users\username\Desktop\test.jsx"

It's not a crash for me, the script just doesn't run. 


es.executeScript produces the crash; es.executeFile launches AME but doesn't execute the script.

If you replace --executeScript (which expects a blob of ExtendScript to follow) with --executeFile (which expects a path to an ExtendScript file), the call works fine.
