So, determining the version of that avisynth.dll can only happen on the script level unless MP_Pipeline exports a function for that purpose.

It will take non-trivial effort to (cleanly) implement this function, so I think I won't work on it just for displaying the version..

I'm not sure avsmeter could or should do anything about it, really up to you.

If you want, you can put avs dll with avsmeter in the same folder

this method work in any thing load avs script, like x264

That statement is not true. If you load avisynth.dll like this:

Code:

LoadLibrary("z:\\whateverpath\\avisynth.dll")

it will load that specific DLL.

However, most applications will load avisynth.dll without specifying a path and in that case the search order would be:

The directory from which the application loaded.
The current directory.
The System32/SysWoW64 directory.
The Windows directory.
The directories that are listed in the PATH environment variable.

### dll: doesn't seem to work with modified Avisynth for MT.dll

It gives

Unable to create slave process. Unable to load ... avisynth.dll, code=126

Any help or it's hopeless to try?

Code 126 is ERROR_MOD_NOT_FOUND, maybe try using full path to the DLL? If it doesn't work either, can you post your full script here for me to check?

aldix · 22nd December 2014, 02:27

Oops, sorry for the delayed reply. Recalled about this just now

I did use the full path. It wasn't a "system path," though, just from a folder from desktop. But that shouldn't matter, right?

All the other avisynth versions work fine.

Relevant script snip (retracted):

Code:

loadplugin("C:\...\MP_Pipeline.dll")
MP_Pipeline("""

### platform: win32


loadplugin("C:\....\ffms2.dll")   
ffvideosource("C:\...\video.mkv").ConvertToYV12()

Does your dll path contain non-ASCII character? This may be a problem.

If this is not the case, can you upload the problematic version of avisynth.dll and another one that worked correctly to somewhere and send me the link? I suspect it is due to a dependency problem.

aldix · 25th December 2014, 19:02

Hiya and merry X-mas

Could the case be that dll path contains spaces? I.e. if a path is \user\bla bla bla\else, it might choke?

If that's not it, sure, I'll post them somewhere. Just let me know.

I hope I won't forget about this thread again, sorry about this...

Merry Christmas (late) and Happy New Year (early).

In theory space shouldn't matter, but to be certain can you also try a path without space?

aldix · 27th December 2014, 02:59

Happy rest of the running year to you too

Sadly, there's no difference. There is still the error code = 126

Avisynth.dll for MT.dll (they're packed together, as per here: http://xhmikosr.1f0.de/_old/avisynth/plugins/ - the original doom9 link in the relevant thread is defunct, but it's the modded 2.5.something version which still supports MT.dll)
http://s000.tinyupload.com/?file_id=...18413725137164

As for other DLLs that worked, here's 2.6 MT:
http://s000.tinyupload.com/?file_id=...19082695553005

I'll be very intrigued as to what you'll be able to figure out

Thanks!

SAPikachu · 27th December 2014, 03:25

This DLL loaded on my system (although I have to rename my plugins folder first, seems there are some plugins that break in this version.). This is likely a VC runtime problem, try installing this: http://thehotfixshare.net/board/inde...showfile=10061

aldix · 28th December 2014, 01:38

Thanks for the suggestion.

However, both in trying to install the upgrade and the thing itself (I presume), i.e. Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/downl...on.aspx?id=703),
it fails with a message of the program required being not installed.

I'm on a Windows Server 2008 (I *think*). Might that be the problem to begin with?

SAPikachu · 28th December 2014, 02:17

OK, then maybe we need to do a manual installation. You can download the 2 core DLL from https://www.dropbox.com/sh/fxxttnvcr...3UxvxwmSa?dl=0 (copied from my system), copy them to C:\Windows\SysWOW64 and try the script again?

aldix · 29th December 2014, 07:06

Sorry to say, but exact same problem remains, Error 126

Well, I am out of guess now.. Maybe we have to use (one of) the last hand, can you use Process Monitor to capture a log during loading of the script and send me the log? Hope the log can reveal the cause for us..

Groucho2004 · 29th December 2014, 11:37

If I understand this correctly, an explicitly loaded avisynth.dll will still use the plugins from the directory that is referenced in the registry, right?

If so, I suggest the following:
- Rename the avisynth.dll in SysWOW64 to avisynth.dl (for example)
- Copy the 2.5.7 DLL to SysWOW64

- Run this tool
1. File -> Save info
2. Tools -> Plugin Info -> Save plugin info report
3. Post both logs and any error messages you might get.

Hi,

At first I would like to thank you for this great tool

I'm not sure if I did really understand how it works
so here's my scripte before mp-pipeline

PHP Code:


			
MPEG2Source("C:\Users\bassiouny\Desktop\bleach disk1\VIDEO_TS\VIDEO_TS.d2v").ThreadRequest()

trim(14580,55640)#=41060

trim(2699,0)

import(AviSynthPluginsDir + "AnimeIVTC 2 mod.avs")

AnimeIVTC(mode=1, omode=1, credconv="mocomp", nnedi3pel=true, e1=36123, i1=38361)  

vid=last

op=Import("C:\Users\bassiouny\Desktop\op.avs")



op+vid





GradFun3(thr=0.28) #or any debandning filter

import("C:\Users\bassiouny\Desktop\fansubs\AvsPmod\plugins\DeHaloH.avsi")

DeHaloHmod(radius=4)

vmToon()

mcDAA3()



Crop(2, 0, -2, -0) #not imporatant

spline36resize(720,480)

And in order to increase the encoding speed I'm using Mp-pipeline like this:

PHP Code:


			
MP_Pipeline("""



### platform: win64

SetMemoryMax(2548)

setMTmode(2)

MPEG2Source("C:\Users\bassiouny\Desktop\bleach disk1\VIDEO_TS\VIDEO_TS.d2v").ThreadRequest()

""")

and here's the op.avs that I called in my script

PHP Code:


			
MPEG2Source("C:\Users\bassiouny\Desktop\bleach disk1\VIDEO_TS\VIDEO_TS.d2v").ThreadRequest()

trim(14580,55640)



trim(0,2698)

import(AviSynthPluginsDir + "AnimeIVTC 2 mod.avs")

AnimeIVTC(4, omode=1)

does my script contain mistakes? can someone suggest some improvements or tips ?

And thanks in advance

P.S: I'm using a 32 GB of ram, quad core processor, 64bit avisynth and the 64 bit X264 encoder

Dogway · 12th January 2015, 11:03

I just came to say thanks for this plugin. The other day I was encoding while I had to do some Photoshop work, it looks like I got out of RAM (got 8Gb though) and quite surprisingly MP_Pipeline paused the encoding and warned that I had to free up some memory. It really shows some professionalism, the only thing I miss for this is better documentation, I always feel like dealing with some kind of voodoo magic when setting it up.

Again thank you.

P.S: I'm using a 32 GB of ram, quad core processor, 64bit avisynth and the 64 bit X264 encoder

Here are some tips:
1. You may try setting memory limit of all block to around 2.5G, especially the one with AnimeIVTC, since that's a quite complex filter.
2. Use ### prefetch in each block. 32, 16 is a good start, but you may want to tweak the values for better performance.
3. Not quite sure how setmtmode/ThreadRequest/SoraThread work in MPP but I think I will remove them and use more blocks and prefetch instead, since that will be more stable, and maybe even faster.
