v1.21.0 always uses 64 bit encoder and requires AviSynth+ MT x64 (and 64 bit plugins!). Encoding on 32bit AviSynth is no longer possible. If you really need 32bit then I can only advise you to forget about newer version and stay with 1.20.0

I uninstalled AviSynth and installed the batch file for AVISynth+ in your script. I created new encoding jobs as the release notes specify, but still I meet this error, and the encoding servers close the connection.

What do you get here?

This is with the latest version & latest update....

I know I've had this happen before, and pretty sure I was given a "fix", but that was a long time ago

Anyone have any idea's ???

When you get that message ,open \Chunks\getinfo.avs in MPC-HC (x64) and show me what error message pops-up. Also show me content of that file.

The bottom line of the server status window reads:

	
	
V1.8.1.0 | AviSynth+ 0.1 (r2508, MT, x86_64)

Can these two versions coexist?

I am getting a similar error after the last upgrade. I removed AVISynth 2.6 and reinstalled it. Same error. It doesn't always error. I can process a video fine one time and then the next I get this error.

Hi Atak,

Have captured both error messages, as requested...

Not sure what you mean by "Also show me content of that file" ?

Hopefully this link will work, haven't used Mediafire for a long time.

Just upload \Chunks\getinfo.avs to mediafire

OK, but I think I may have deleted it, but I'm sure I'd be able to replicate it....I'll let you know.

Having said that, I successfully encoded several movies today, without issue (using the very latest update)...maybe this file that is giving me the issues is put together wrong, it's a simple Youtube clip, after all, with Opus audio.

[Atak_Snajpera]

The error message says "Syntax Error" in specific line and column. I'm basically curious what went wrong.

The issue:

https://imgur.com/a/2tbUF

LoadPlugin("C:\RipBot264v1.21.0\Tools\AviSynth plugins\hqdn3d\hqdn3d.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\RipBot264v1.21.0\Tools\AviSynth plugins\flash3kyuu_deband\flash3kyuu_deband.dll")
video=hqdn3d(video,2,0,0,0).f3kdb

I get the issue after removing the f3kdb as well.
I don't get the issue while using MDegrain, which is why I think it has something to do with both HQDN3D and F3KDB.

I don't see this issue with MDegrain, but I do if I use MDegrain and F3KDB

I tried updating to the flash3kyuu_deband.dll 2.0 but that was a whole different set of problems and couldn't get the test video to start.

I'm using both r2506MT 64bit and r2508MT 64bit (separate computers).
Both computers are on RipBot 1.21.0, and both Win7

I can confirm that a more recent update has fixed this issue. Side note, might be good to start updating RipBots version number when updates are pushed so that people can report more accurately which version of "1.21.0" they are on.

That's actually a really good suggestion, it would make it a lot easier.

About the only way to tell what build you're on, is to go into settings and check what build date the core is.

I have a question about updater.exe. is it OK to urn it sandalone (just by double-click?) I run just the encodingserver on a number of machines and never run RipBot264.exe on those... will it just update EncodingServer or will it try to update everything?

Done

https://www.mediafire.com/file/hmp31...57/getinfo.avs

However, I installed the very latest update, and it worked fine....
so whatever was causing the problem, you've fixed it, already

As long as you stop the encoding servers on that machine first it is fine, but once done you'll have to run it again for it to install.
I'd just recommend opening the full ripbot at that point though.

Since the most recent update when I'm adding a job I noticed the format changed on the color spaces and when I'm using MDegrain2 I'm getting the error:

MSuper: Clip must be YUV or YUY2
(C:\Temp\RipBot264temp\Job1\job1_preview.avs, line 34)

Line 34:

super=MSuper(video,pel=2)

Remove MDegrain2 and it works, or if I change:
...mkv.ffindex",colorspace="YV12").ConvertToRGB.Crop(1,0,-1,0)
to ...mkv.ffindex").ConvertToRGB.Crop(1,0,-1,0).ConvertToYV12(matrix="rec709")
it doesn't give me that error in the preview.

but either way I'm getting this error with most new jobs:

Exception EFOpenError in module EncodingClient.exe at 000241AE.
Cannot open file "C:\Temp\RipBot264temp\job1\info.txt". The system cannot find the file specified.

I checked and I don't see that info.txt file in the job1 folder.

Update: I've only tried with 2 different video types. 1 of the videos having issues with the msuper I'd have previously encoded with the same settings.
The only video type I'm not currently having issues with is x264 10bit, and only 8bit ones seem to be an issue right now. I can send test clips if needed, but the 10bit one I've already sent you.

Update, Update: It might only be with a specific batch of files. Not sure what is special about them but I'll post media info:

My thinking was, at boot, run updater.exe, wait 20 seconds, run encodingserver. this is on dedicated headless "servers" that only runs when awakened by the client, then shuts down until the next time it's needed...
