AutoIt Error with D2SRoba Plugin

[Fugdefino]

When I run the latest version of the D2SRoba Plugin, I keep getting the following error at the CD Prediction Stage:

Line 0:

$g_target_mpv_br=$g_Video_BR[$t_NumCD's]
$g_target_mpv_br=$g_Video_BR[^ERROR

Error: Array Variable has incorrect number of subscripts or subscript dimension range exceeded.


Any idea what the problem is?

I think I have an idea, but I need to see your log. When in trouble, it is almost always a good idea to post your log. In this case, I suggest you to pay a visit to the D2Sroba FAQ and read Q1 in the "Part III – Typical problems & How to get help".

Ok, here's my log:

The error doesn't occur if set the maximum avg offset to the default of 300.

[r6d2]

The error you mention used to appear some time ago when using the range modes and high variances of Q. This does not seem to be the case.

I guess only Tylo can tell why the subscript does not exist. Anyway, Range mode may still be a little unstable. If you increase the offset nothing bad will happen, so I suggest you use that until he looks at this (or use auto mode instead).

[tylo]

It's a combo of using '?' mode with such a long movie. I know why it worked with offset 300. I'll fix it. Thanks for reporting.

[Fugdefino]

Ok, I've just had a similar error with a much smaller input file. Once again, setting max avg offset to 300 fixed the problem. Here's my log:
