Dear selur,
Thank you very much for keeping this program updated.
I'm using latest Hybrid 2017.04.10.1 Linux QT 5.21 version, under Debian.
Pop-up text when pointing buttons appear as a black pop-up with no readable text inside.
I did not change system colour scheme lately, and this did not happen with previous versions.
Of course I'm a long time Hybrid user and I know the purpose of those buttons, it's just a question of fixing the GUI.

Best

I didn't change anything on my build system which is a Kubunutu 64bit 14.04 with Qt 5.2.1, so I doubt the it's the gui at fault.

My guess is Debian changed something in their Qt libraries (they did something similar in the past) or their color schema.
As a workaround you could:
a. disable the tool tips
b. enable the tooltip sidebar
(Config->View->Design)

Can't say more since the info that you use a Debian system in itself doesn't allow me to reproduce your environment inside a VM.

Sorry if the information was not enough.
Please tell me which further information you would need.
I don't want to make you lose your time since this seems just to be my problem.

I think I explained it bad. I perfectly see tooltips, so no need to disable tooltip and enable tooltip side bar.
What is shown wrong are the texts (i called them pop-up, probably wrong) when you point on buttons and not on text or checkboxes.

a. What Debian system do you use exactly? What version? What window manager? If you know where I can download an install image post a link to the site. I need enough information to install such a system inside a VM.
b. The text that appear once you point at something are the tool-tips. So now I'm even more confused now.
You can try whether it helps to deinstall and reinstall Hybrid.

My Debian system:
Kernel: 3.16.0-4-amd64 x86_64 (64 bit)
Desktop: KDE 4.14.2
Distro: SolydXK 8 solydxk

So it is based in Debian 8.

Related to tool-tips confusion I cannot explain it better: when you point with the mouse to text or checkboxes or slidedown menues there appears a tool-tip, in my system a yellow square with black text in it. When you point to a button appears a dark square that used to be white with black text in it, but as it is now black there cannot be read anything.

I will try to get a snapshot and send you to explain it better.

Color selection isn't done by my code at all.
Sounds like some theme setting in your distro.

Got your email an here's my reply:

Ah, now I see what you meant.
To reproduce this I downloaded latest debian iso, installed it inside a VM selected KDE as desktop manager installed Hybrid and I can reproduce the problem in the VM.

Seems like this is a problem with their kde color theme/configuration.

Starting 'Colors' I selected the 'Obisidian Coast' theme, applied it, started Hybrid and tool tips were readable.


=> not a bug in Hybrid, but a strange default color theme of debian.
Seeing that tooltips work fine with 'Obisidian Coast' this can be fixed by properly configuring the colors on your system.
Since I don't know you color preferences and Hybrid doesn't enforce any color theme, but uses the one of the desktop manger there is nothing for me to do.
Cu Selur

Ps.: posted this here so other which might have the same problem can see the solution. (adjusting the color theme of the desktop manager)

Thank you for your answer.
I will try to adjust system colour scheme, and see if it makes look bad other applications.

I've always had QAAC problems when installing Hybrid. I just installed it to Windows 7 64-bit, after installing Quicktime, and it happened again.

The rest of Hybrid is fine, but QAAC will cause a job to crash when it tries to encode the audio. What seems to be happening is Hybrid doesn't want to use the 64-bit QAAC.exe file. Or doesn't want to use the qaac.exe file that comes with Hybrid, if there is one. I'm not sure where Hybrid is getting its qaac.exe file from.

Downloading QAAC from the main QAAC page, the 64-bit exe is called qaac64.exe. Renaming it to qaac.exe and putting it in the Hybrid folder, the job in hybrid still crashes when starting the audio, so the problem isn't just a filename problem.

The fix I've always had to do is copy (what I assume is the) 32-bit version of qaac's exe file called qaac.exe to the hybrid folder. Then it all works fine. If Hybrid installs its own qaac.exe file, then whether it's 32-bit or 64-bit, the job always crashes at the start of audio encoding on 64-bit Windows.

It's done it to me for a long time, and just did it again on a desktop where the Hybrid install was fine with Windows 7 32-bit but now I added Windows 7 64-bit for dual-booting, and with a fresh Hybrid install the qaac audio crashed as usual until I downloaded a qaac package and used the 32-bit qaac.exe.

I don't recall seeing anyone else mention that problem, but it's been consistent for me on multiple computers. If anyone gets that problem, that's the fix.

Wild guess: you only installed the 32bit Version of the 'Apple Application Support'-package and not the64bit version thus, 64bit version of qaac will crash and 32bit version won't.
Tested here. For me both versions work if the appropriate 'Apple Application Support' is installed.

Probably, since I didn't specifically try to install either of those. I don't recall at the moment if Hybrid makes a specific note of that during install, (other than mentioning Quicktime), but if it does I guess I don't read it as it's intended. Even on forums when people ask about getting QAAC to work, the main thing I recall is, "Install Quicktime. It has the needed files." But there's more to it than that.

64bit 'Apple Application Support' should come with 64bit iTunes/Quicktime not the 32bit version.
-> best bet nowadays is probable downloading a 64bit version of iTunes, open the installer with 7zip, extract the AppleApplicationSuppot.msi and install that.
(Sadly there is no separate download for the application support,..)
App & Features under Windows 10 shows whether the 64bit and or the 32bit version is installed, I guess the same should be true for Win7.

Hybrid rev 2017.04.23.1

Based on the timing of this release, I assume it also includes:

Some people in the x265 thread are very excited over that.

Yes, the x265 version is like always up-to-date and since it's not anything that needs to be en-/disabled it's not mentioned in the changelog.

They started to include the cover, which got Hybrids internal ffmpeg<>mplayer<>mediaInfo id mapping confused since mplayer&mediainfo reported 1 Video stream and ffmpeg reported two.

To follow up on that, installing Quicktime player apparently doesn't auto-install the Apple Support Package file needed for QAAC to work with 64-bit Windows, but during the last update-install of Hybrid I installed iTunes and saw it auto-installing the support package during the install, and then as expected QAAC worked for 64-bit Windows 7/8.

I was wondering what happened with the now sparse log. Sometimes I'd forget what CFR or other settings I used on an encode, and I could go and see it in the log. Now the only useful thing in there for most people is the time the encoding took. I don't know if there's another hopefully easy way to see what settings were used on a prior encode.

In case the job is still inside the job-queue you could look at the encoding call by disabling the 'minimize job command lines' option.
