#[SOLVED] need support with bash script.

So I made this bash script with gemini which is supposed to convert all images in the specified folder to avif and all videos to a matroshka file using avi encoding. However, when I run it, it just doesn't give me any output / logs in the terminal whatsoever and it's done after 0 secs. And the destination folder is empty of course.

# 
#!/bin/bash

# Set the source and destination directories
source_dir="/home/bl4ze/Downloads/immich"
dest_dir="/home/bl4ze/Downloads/immich2"

# Find all files in the source directory
find "$source_dir" -type f -print0 | while read -rd '\0' file; do
    echo "Processing file: $file"

    # Check if the file is an image or video
    if [[ "$file" =~ \.(jpg|jpeg|png|webp|gif|bmp|tiff|mp4|mov|avi|mkv|flv|mpeg|mpg)$ ]]; then
        # Convert the file to AVIF or Matroshka based on its type
        if [[ "$file" =~ \.(jpg|jpeg|png|webp|gif|bmp|tiff)$ ]]; then
            echo "Converting image: $file"
            convert_image "$file"
        else
            echo "Converting video: $file"
            convert_video "$file"
        fi
    fi
done

# Function to convert images to AVIF
convert_image() {
    file="$1"
    new_file="${dest_dir}/${file}"

    # Check if the file is an image
    if [[ -f "$file" ]] && [[ -r "$file" ]] && [[ -x "$file" ]] && [[ "$file" =~ \.(jpg|jpeg|png|webp|gif|bmp|tiff)$ ]]; then
        echo "Converting image to AVIF: $file"
        magick convert "$file" -set EXIF:* c -define formats:write_exif=true -quality 100 -colorspace sRGB "$new_file.avif"

        echo "Moving original file to $new_file.avif"
        mv "$file" "$new_file.avif"
    fi
}

# Function to convert videos to Matroshka
convert_video() {
    file="$1"
    new_file="${dest_dir}/${file}"

    # Check if the file is a video
    if [[ -f "$file" ]] && [[ -r "$file" ]] && [[ -x "$file" ]] && [[ "$file" =~ \.(mp4|mov|avi|mkv|flv|mpeg|mpg)$ ]]; then
        echo "Converting video to Matroshka: $file"
        ffmpeg -i "$file" -c:v libx264 -crf 23 -c:a aac -b:a 128k -movflags faststart -metadata title="My Video Title" -metadata artist="John Doe" "$new_file.mkv"

        echo "Moving original file to $new_file.mkv"
        mv "$file" "$new_file.mkv"
    fi
}

also, i recommend distotube's playlist of bash scripting, haven't watched it, but i think it's good. it's also not that long.

#

i always think about learning bash scripting but i'm tooooo lazy

i mostly search the internet how the f do i do this in bash, and do that lol

#

plus, most of my scripts are written in python

#

i actually use bash to automate long commands, so don't really need that much bash experience for now

I like to mix python and bash for things
