Help with plugins

[turbines]

I have never used any filters or plugins before and decided that Seesaw might be a good place start. I can't seem to get it to work and always receive error relating to various lines in the avs script when I load it into MEgui. I am not certain that I even have all the required files required in the plugins folder. Would someone please have a look at plugin directory list below and spot what I might be missing? I would also really appreciate any links anyone can provide that will show me the correct way to incorporate a plugin into a pre-existing script. I am running Win7 with Q6700 CPU. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

[fantasmanegro]

i guess we need to know the error message first to help you ;D

please post the error message and the script you are using.

[neuron2]

There is an obvious syntax error on the ColorMatrix() call. Look at the documentation.

ColorMatrix(hints=true, this line is incomplete, remove the Comma (,) at the end of line and put closing parenthesis ()), it should be like ColorMatrix(hints=true)

[turbines]

Thanks! That fixed that first error but now I get another say it can't load the seesaw plugin in line5

[fantasmanegro]

first, put all loadplugins at top then call them, and check the seesaw readme because maybe it needs RemoveGrain 1.x and MaskTools2 filters

[turbines]

I went back and reviewed the readme and checked the prerequisites again but still getting SS errors when I try to open the scripts. I am sure I must be missing something in the SS and related filter documentation. How do I determine if it needs the Masktools2 or Removegrain 1.X. Also is it necessary to run the filters that are designated SE SE2 SE3 etc designed for specific CPU attributes?

I am getting a failed to load SeeSaw error even when no parameters are specified in the call Seesaw () so I am assuming the problem is within the plugins folder. The plugins I have were downloaded were from the Dooms9 site after I installed Avsynth and I guess it might be possible that there are conflicts there even if I have the other Seesaw requirement met. I see in the those additional dll files that are required for Seesaw that those dll packages also contain folders full of other files. I don't see any installation instructions in the documentation. I assumed all that needed to be done was to move only the appropriate dll file to the Avsynth plugins folder ie: Masktools.dll, repair.dll, removegrain.dll.

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\MeGUI\tools\dgindex\DGDecode.dll")
DGDecode_mpeg2source("D:\PROJECT FOLDERS\MEGUI\Fargo\Title_1.d2v", info=3)
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\MeGUI\tools\avisynth_plugin\ColorMatrix.dll")

[fantasmanegro]

can you post the ss error?

The Seesaw avs file isn't a plugin; you need to use Import() instead of LoadPlugin().

[turbines]

Yes! Thank you all very much for the straightening me out.
