AviSynth+ 0.1 (r2544, MT, i386) (0.1.0.0)

Exception 0xC000001D [STATUS_ILLEGAL_INSTRUCTION]
Module:   C:\Program Files\AviSynth\plugins\dither.dll
Address:  0x60457EA0

I suggest starting from scratch. Remove all plugins (make a backup, just in case) and add plugins as needed.

There is no such thing. AVS+ has been multi-threaded since r16xx.

OK, but whats difference in the '-MT' postfixed versions then ???

Latest release

r2544-MT
53b8d15

Avisynth+ r2544-MT

@pinterf pinterf released this 15 days ago · 2 commits to MT since this release
Avisynth+ r2544 (20171115)

20171115 r2544
Fixes

Expr: fix "scalef" for 10-16 bits

modification, additions

Expr optimization: eliminate ^1 +0 -0 *1 /1

Avisynth+ r2542 (20171114)
Fixes

Fix: RGB (full scale) conversion: 10-16 bits to 8 bits rounding issue; pic got darker in repeated 16<->8 bit conversion chain
Fix: ConvertToY: remove unnecessary clamp for Planar RGB 32 bit float
Fix: RGB ConvertToY when rec601, rec709 (limited range) matrix. Regression since r2266

EDIT: Arh, the one in red is not post fixed, perhaps pinterf adds -MT or not, depending upon mood
EDIT: Nah, my mistake, all are postfixed now in actual file name.
EDIT: Guess that I should not skim read.
EDIT: Think I'm finally gonna try avs+ (long-long time since done that), and in x64 I think.

Am I wrong or dither is one of the most used plugin and yet with old AVS 2.5 API?

@pinterf and @all

A refresh would be welcome. Last version is AFAIK 1.27.2 from 2015.

https://mega.nz/#!f4sHXYgQ!Hf-5Di0ym...dSe9Bn4CkPyRO4 I just made both win32 and x64 versions with AvisynthPluginInit3. If you know valid up-to-date mt modes for dither, I can add them internally.

I use external MT with AVS+ (if I've correctly understood your question).

PHP Code:

SetFilterMTMode("DEFAULT_MT_MODE", 2)
…
Prefetch(6) 


[DJATOM]

# Filters from Dither 1.25.0. Tested by Firesledge (not extensively though)
SetFilterMTMode ("DitherPost", MT_NICE_FILTER)
SetFilterMTMode ("SmoothGrad", MT_NICE_FILTER)
SetFilterMTMode ("Dither_box_filter16", MT_NICE_FILTER)
SetFilterMTMode ("Dither_bilateral16", MT_NICE_FILTER)
SetFilterMTMode ("Dither_limit_dif16", MT_NICE_FILTER)
SetFilterMTMode ("Dither_resize16", MT_NICE_FILTER)

SetFilterMTMode ("Dither_sub16", MT_NICE_FILTER)
SetFilterMTMode ("Dither_max_dif16", MT_NICE_FILTER)

It was in my MtModes.avsi, but Idk if that's up-to-date.

Never had problems with mode 2.

[DJATOM]

Mode 2 will eat more RAM, so it's better to stick with mode 1 if possible. Anyway new build (now with sources), with mt mode 1 declared internally: https://mega.nz/#!CtcRVLgZ!qzrTRjvu9...fWniOrbuG_lmjY

Thanks DJATOM for the new paint job!

@DJATOM
I gave a try to your latest build of dither and it gives me error.

Script:

PHP Code:

SetMemoryMax(8000)
SetFilterMTMode("DEFAULT_MT_MODE", 2)
LoadPlugin("D:\eseguibili\media\DGDecNV\x64\DGDecodeNV.dll")
DGSource("E:\in\2_00 Fuga di mezzanotte\fuga.dgi")
#CompTest(1)
SMDegrain (tr=6, thSAD=400, refinemotion=false, lsb=true, mode=0, contrasharp=false, PreFilter=4, truemotion=false, plane=4, chroma=true)
Prefetch(6) 


Gives me the error:

Same script works fine with standard dither.dll
