AvsPmod 2.5.1

[Zarxrax]

See this thread for the latest updated version of AvsPmod:
https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=175823



AvsP (http://avisynth.org/qwerpoi/)was an awesome script editor for AviSynth, so it was sad to see that the project was apparently dead.

We have been continuing this project under the name AvsPmod, and there are now many new features and bug fixes, primarily thanks to the work of Angel_Su, vdcrim, and others.

I am personally not going to be working on this project much anymore, but I never did much anyways aside from bringing together other people's source code and compiling new builds.
vdcrim has created a git repository for the project here: http://avspmod.github.io/

As of version 2.4.2, function definitions can be imported from the wiki at https://github.com/AvsPmod/AvsPmod/wiki/Filter-database
This can be done via Options menu -> Avisynth function definition -> Import.

Download
Both the windows build and source code can be downloaded from the git repository:

You do something good then upload it to this crumy download site, I don't have time to waste.

EDIT: Thanks for taking the time in your PM to solve my problem !!!

[tin3tin]

Nice initiative. Would it be possible to upload it to this site?
www.avisynth.org/warpenterprises
AvsP is listed there, but no link.

One nifty feature someone asked some time ago, was the ability to hear the audio at the current frame, when moving frame by frame. I don't know how much python knowlege a thing like this would need?

Would be a very nice feature, but unfortunately its way out of my league. What I do to work around it is I set virtualdub as my external player, seek the the spot I need, and press the play button to hear the audio there.

I know some Python, but this is way out of my league :(

You might still be able to help out with some stuff if you like. I was quite surprised at how straightforward and readable the source code was, despite my not knowing python.

When I try to run the program it tells me that msvcp71.dll is missing. I'm on windows 7 64bit. While I have found some downloads with google, I'd like to have some "legitimate" download link that I can trust. I don't just want to download it from some random site.

Hmm, interesting. I guess I might need to include that DLL file next time.

Gavino: very nice macro! Thanks for pointing it out!

[nurbs]

Thanks.

By the way I'd be interested who had the idea to name the directory for 32bit DLLs on 64bit Windows "syswow64". Not very intuitive. :confused:

A pretty nasty bug has been found. You are unable to use the arrow keys or home/end etc to move around the text, because these keys always change focus to the video.
I didn't cause this bug, it already exists in the original source code.
I'll try to learn Python and fix it.

[tin3tin]

Here on Vista the functions of those keys changes correctly after what part of the interface has the focus. Meaning I can move the cursor around in the text, when the text has the focus and when the slider has to focus the keys work as expected on the preview video-image.

Really? That's odd, because it doesn't function correctly for me, and for at least one other person who reported it to me.

[Zarxrax]

I believe I have solved the problem by compiling with an old version of wxpython that was mentioned in the source code. I'll need to do some further testing and decide whether or not to just stick with that old version.

Are they defined in a config somewhere as being bound to functions that do editing on the video?

Just thinking out loud here.. (I haven't even used the program before) cause I wonder if its a simple routine to not allow those keys to reset the focus or something when eidting text, or if they need to not be bound as editing keys for video in the first place.

In either case, sounds like something someone should mention to the wxforms/wxpython people, if its a bug with the Win32 interface it should fall on them to fix it.

However I am interested in learning how it interfaces to load/display video in the first place.. Does it use Avisynth wrapper? Is that part well documented? I'm interested in it for a project of my own.. But if it doesn't pan out I may be able to contribute the fruits of that effort to AvsP in some form.. Mainly for dealing with Hybrid Anime content.

Also may want to consider porting it to Python 3.x branch now since its the most recent.. It may or may not be difficult depending on what syntax changes need to be made, but I'm betting there will be some advantages to that.. If I can find time to sit down and "get into" this project, maybe I will assess the possibility of moving it over.

[Gavino]

It uses the Avisynth library interface via a wrapper to the C functions - see source files avisynth.py and pyavs.py.

[XadoX]

Great News :thanks:

[osgZach]

Thanks Gavino, will look inside those.. it's all GPL'ed right? I remember some uproar-ish thread here about someone making an Avisynthwrapper or something like that, but wanting to charge money for it.

[mel2000]

I have AviSynth 2.57a installed. I get the following error when I launched v2.0.3 of AvsPmod.exe.

[Mon Mar 15 18:24:44 2010]

Any recommendations for a solution appreciated.

[Zarxrax]

@mel2000: I'll release a new build soon that is compiled differently. Let me know if that helps or not, after I release it. I think it might.

@others:
After AvsP 2.0.2 was released, qwerpoi released a bugfix patch, that fixed a few bugs which are mentioned here: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1059559#post1059559
I have been trying to look into these bugs to see if I could fix them as well, but, I can't actually reproduce any of the bugs (or even figure out the exact details of some of them). Does anyone have any information about them?

[XadoX]

Somehow the arrow keys are not working for me as they should.
While pressing up or down the programm always starts the preview windows und tries to skip through the video. But I want to move through the test file.

[Alex_ander]

While pressing up or down... But I want to move through the test file.
Why not left/right?

[XadoX]

If I am in text editing mode I want to use the arrow keys for navigation through the text file.
While in videopreview mode the arrow keys have to navigate through the video.

Did you not read the thread? It will be fixed soon :)

[Zarxrax]

Ok here is version 2.0.4

Changes:
- Fixed arrow keys not working in the text area
- Fixed icon not appearing in vista/7
- Fixed custom function definitions not being saved (bug existed in avsp 2.0.2) [this fix may introduce a new bug]
- Included MSVCP71.dll, which may be needed on some systems
- Added some additional default file extension templates
- Added some macros

Thanks Zarxrax. Unfortunately I got the same errors after installing 2.0.4. However, since 2.0.2 is working adequately, I'm still grateful.

[levi]

thx for taking this up, I love it too & will test it out

Hmmm, that's really odd that it doesn't work for you. What version of windows are you using? Are you launching it from the exe?

[XadoX]

Did you not read the thread? It will be fixed soon :)
In that case I think I have to say the truth: No :(
I am sorry.

[XadoX]

Better interaction between DGdecNV (in that case DGMultiSource) and AvsPmod.

While working with DGSource and the Cuvid-Server everything works fine. If I am using DGMultiSource instead AvsPmod often crashes.

Maybe its more a feature request for DGdecNV?

Sorry, I don't own a license to that software.
Can anyone else confirm that it doesn't work in AvsP?

[nautilus7]

Yes, I experience the *exact* same problem mentioned by XadoX. It only happens with DGmultiSource and only with the "previous frame" button at random times.

Seems like a strange problem. Does it happen in avsp 2.0.2? What about other apps like virtualdub?
What exactly happens when it crashes? Is there an error message?

[sjakke]

I'm not an avsp user. But I have to give you a thumbs up for taking initiative. And it's a good way to start learning some python:)

[mel2000]

Hmmm, that's really odd that it doesn't work for you. What version of windows are you using? Are you launching it from the exe?
I'm using Vista SP2 and launched AvsPmod from the exe (as administrator).

[shambles]

i always wished that i could switch to fullscreen and hide the gui with avsp. i guess such a feature is out of scope but i'm not a programmer so i don't have any idea how hard it would be to implement.

just thought i'd throw it out there :)

Do you mean you would like the video to be fullscreen?
I think there are 2 things that you can do to sort of accomplish this right now.

1) Options > Program Settings > Video 1 > "Seperate Video Preview Window"
Then restart avsp and rightclick the preview, and choose Zoom > Fill window.
This isn't true fullscreen, as it will leave the title bar and the navigation controls onscreen. I believe it also just resizes the video with one of avisynth's resizers, which might be fairly processor-intensive.

2) Use a macro to define a secondary application to preview the video in. You can then set a shortcut to launch that macro. As it happens, there is already an example macro that shows you how to launch "mplayer" in fullscreen mode.

Well, it seems the problem only happens in avsp 2.0.2. I can't crash your version (I'm on win 7 ultimate x64). If it happens again, I'll report back to you. Thanks!

Added Screenshot:

[Zarxrax]

It looks like that error message is coming from the DGMultiSource plugin, rather than from AvsP, so you might want to check with the author of that plugin and see what he says.

[Guest]

Other apps such as MEGUI, staxrip, etc., do not invoke this error. And since AvsP is written in Python (I believe) I will not be able to try to see what it is doing wrong.

Hii there.... I am using AvsPmod 2.04 on Win 7 Ultimate 32 Bit system and everything is fine :)

Can you add a shortcut key for "Save image as..." - Shift + anything or Ctrl + anything for example ??

Thanx for your great work and efforts during developing this wonderful tool..

Best Regards...
