AvsP v2.0.2 (10/27/07)

[AlanHK]

2.0.1 -- cool, thanks.

And onto more niggles:

If I have hidden display of sliders, then press F5 to refresh the display (because when I change freezeframe parameters, it does not display correctly unless I do) the sliders come back.
When I hide sliders, I want them to stay hidden until I unhide them.

PS
I found a workaround: I can make the slider window zero width.... would still prefer it stay hidden when I ask.

My last AvsP translation!
Somebody may carry on...

The "Slider Panel" display problem is fixed but now it crashes each time I try to use "Insert File Name"

#AVISource("e:\1.vdr.avi")
ImageSource("Alaska.jpg")

2.0 worked fine

qwerpoi,
can you consider to decrease AvSp download size by removing standard components (putting them to separate archive)?

python25.dll, lib/wxwsm26uh.dll, etc

It is not important for rare updated programs, but your child is not rarely updated

Here is the Spanish translation for v2.0.1

Taking a look at the result I show in the dialog boxes: “Edit extension-based templates”, “Edit shortcuts” and “Program settings” that some text still in English although Spanish words are in the translation.py file (examples: "Program Settings" and "* Requires program restart for full effect").This doesn't hapends in the earlier version.

I've been using AvsP for a few days and love it. However, I think I've found a bug:

It appears that AvsP tries to parse lines that have been commented-out, and crashes if the commented-out line is invalid. In particular, I've crashed it badly by doing something like...

#Trim(14923,

... then cursoring away from the line for a moment, or otherwise doing something that induces AvsP to reparse the script and re-render the current video preview. It seems as though the big thing that kills it is having a commented-out line with otherwise-valid command and unclosed parentheses (possibly with incomplete or blatantly invalid values).

The same endless-loop behavior obviously occurs if the line ISN'T commented out while the rendering window is open & something triggers a refresh. If it's not too hard, a nice future enhancement might be adding a way to forcibly kill the preview, close the window, and return to editing mode. If you can figure out where the infinite loop is occurring, maybe you could add a boolean value somewhere that gets set to 'true' whenever the preview window gets shown, and gets checked periodically while parsing/rendering the preview so that if it's found to be false, all parsing & preview-rendering ceases, the preview window gets closed, and the program returns to text-editor mode. The actual value change could be triggered by a keypress (left-ctrl + backspace comes to mind as a good choice... think back ~20 years to RUNSTOP + Restore) ;-)

I'm getting a bug:

I can create new bookmarks, and clear all of them, but not toggle with ^B to delete one individually.

Whenever I try to delete an existing bookmark, using ^B, it fails with the error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "AvsP.pyo", line 5560, in OnMenuVideoBookmark
  File "AvsP.pyo", line 8248, in AddFrameBookmark
TypeError: DeleteFrameBookmark() got an unexpected keyword argument 'refresh'

Separately:
I'd like to have UP/DOWN jump 2 seconds, instead of one.
I can clear the "Forward one second" key (Down) and use it for "Forward x units". But the original setting was only active when video has focus, now it always advances the video, even when I'm editing the text window, so I can't move line to line with UP/DOWN. Ideally, we need a way to toggle this focus restriction.
Some checkboxes in the shortcut key selection : Always active / Video focus / Text focus.

Can't get v.2.01 to run. Log reports the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "run.py", line 1, in <module>
import os, sys
ImportError: No module named os

I'm not familiar with python, but I've installed it so I can make any change necessary to get up an running. Any suggestions?

[foxyshadis]

You need to install wxPython as well, if you run it from source. You can also set your system up to use the wx libraries included in avsp, but it's probably simpler just to install it all.

Thanks for the quick reply, foxyshadis.

Maybe I'm still not fulling understanding, but I downloaded wxPython 2.8 (python 2.5) and installed it from the unicode binary. I made it the new install the default wxPython library, but I'm still receiving the same AvsP error after reboot.

[check]

slo, are you trying to run the executable, or directly run the python source? Just open the .exe

I got the error (see my first post) when I ran the .exe. If I run the compiled python file Avsp.pyc (now that I have python installed) I can get AvsP to start. But the .exe still fails with the same error.

Problem resolved. I was using a new archive program called jZip. It is based on 7-zip, so I was checking it out. By default, it shows archives in a flat view (all files shown absent folder structure), but unbeknown to me, it extracts the files flat while in that view too and without warning!

So, probably needless to say, I didn't provide AvsP the expect file structure, so it couldn't find the necessary modules. My bad. Serves me right to switch from something that I know works (7-zip) for something I don't know much about (jZip). This isn't a slam on jZip, just a lesson learned.
(arrow points to me!)

Thanks to foxyshadis and check for the offered help.

Hello,

I have a little suggestion : give the possibility for the user to select and open several avs files at the same time with "File" --> "Open" ...

Thanks

PS : I know my English is not very good and I hope you will forgive me for that ...

[krisq]

Just a thought
How about letting to insert relative path in 'extension templates'? With '****' for example.

[foxyshadis]

It'd probably be simpler to just have a macro to replace the paths other computers use with its own. I'd think it was a good idea, but you're almost guaranteed to run into current working folder issues. Usually it's the script folder, or the folder of the program host, which already mucks things up enough, but sometimes it'll get changed to some crazy random folder and nothing will load. More than a few threads have been tracked down to that.

[krisq]

English is not my native so maybe I explain what I had in mind.

Instead of full path (***)

avisource ("c:\folder1\folder2\movie.avi")

I would like to have possibility to insert just a filename (****, or something)

avisource ("movie.avi")

I use drag'n'drop a lot and move my project files very often so this seems more natural for me.

[foxyshadis]

Ah, I found a way to reproduce the hanging:
copy this line in:
p2=ImageSource("D:\grafix\work\22269025xa2.png",end=0).converttoyuy2(matrix="PC.601").ConvertToRGB24(matrix="pc.709")
start typing the bold part:
p2=ImageSource("D:\grafix\work\22269025xa2.png",end=0).colormatrix(mode="converttoyuy2(matrix="PC.601").ConvertToRGB24(matrix="pc.709")
it should hang as soon as you type the open quote. It might have to do with my settings, with frequent calltips and wrap text on.

I can try hooking it into the debugger, though I'm still not that familiar with python debugging.

[qwerpoi]

Sorry for the lack of replies, I've been unbelievably busy recently. Hopefully my schedule will even out so I can get some decent development time in...

You're right, this shouldn't happen, I'll try and get it fixed.

Your last translation, seriously? Well, if that's true, hopefully there will be another person to take over the German translation - in any case, your timely updates will certainly be missed!

Hmm, seems strange, I'll take a look. Thanks for letting me know.

Interestingly enough, most of the time all I really need to update is the library.zip file located in the \lib directory. I'll consider doing future updates in this sort of fashion, I'm just worried that it will be too confusing for everybody.

Thanks for the translation update, I'll check out those translation issues (I think I know the cause).

Whew, thanks for patiently working out the issue! I'll definitely add this bit of info to my faq (which currently doesn't exist, I'm really behind...)

Sounds reasonable, I'll see what I can do.

Thanks for the detailed report with settings, I'll try and see what's going on.
