Hazel and Handbrake CLI Script Problem

I've spent most of the morning trying to troubleshoot this without much, well no, progress.

I am attempting to take a transport video file (.ts) and encode it with Handbrake CLI. I have had success in the Terminal widow, but when I put a script in Hazel I have gotten the same error.

My script is set up this way:

If all of the following are met:
Name Contains 720p
Extension is ts

Do the following to the matched file or folder
Run shell script (embedded script)

I know that Hazel is finding the file fine, but the script seems to be an issue. When I searched the forum I found and modified for my system the below script.

filename=$(basename "$1")
filename=${filename%.*}
converting_directory=“Boot HD/Users/chrismielke/Documents/EyeTV Archive/”
output_directory="/Boot HD/Users/chrismielke/Documents/EyeTV Archive/“
converting_filenameHD="$converting_directory$filename (HD).m4v"

/applications/HandBrakeCLI -i "$1" -o "$converting_filenameHD” -f mp4 -4 --decomb -w 1920 -l 1080 --loose-anamorphic --modulus 2 -e x264 -q 20 -r 30 --pfr -a 1 -E faac -6 dpl2 -R Auto -B 160 -D 0 --gain 0 --audio-fallback ffac3 --x264-profile=high --h264-level=4.0

When I run the above I get the following from the Hazel log.

Any thoughts on what the issue is?

Try turning on debug mode as indicated in the sticky article near the top of the forum. Also, check to see if your script requires any environment variables to be set as that's a common source of errors. Running scripts in Hazel is a different context than doing it in Terminal and you can't assume the environment will be the same.

Thanks, I was able to turn on debug mode, however for me the error log wasn't much help.

It appears that I have it working now. I guess I will eat some crow and say that the DeBug mode did help.

Since it appeared that things were already open I rebooted and after the reboot things started working fine.

It appears the process might have been stuck from before? I'd keep an eye on it. If it happens again, select the process in Activity Monitor and do "Sample Process" on it and send it in.
