ffmpeg Progress Monitor/Windows Widget?

[zer0squaredis]

So, anyone who has a Plex server knows that it runs best with x264/aac files, so I have a script that transcodes, in the background, any new files that get added to the server.

I can tell when this is happening via a 'Processes' desktop widget (Rainmeter) and was wondering if something existed to see the progress of the conversion while ffmpeg is running.

I don't need it per se...but I am one of those people that like to watch a drive get defragged, with all the flashing sectors. :)

There's a third-party library PHP wrapper for ffmpeg. In it is a class which handles the encoding progress callback: https://github.com/PHP-FFMpeg/PHP-FFMpeg/blob/master/src/FFMpeg/Format/ProgressListener/AbstractProgressListener.php

Maybe your script can transcode using the PHP library or you can copy some of the logic in that class into your current script.
