BeHappy - AviSynth based audio transcoding tool (UPD 19-07-2006)

[jones1913]

...
https://www.mediafire.com/file/1m4hbkv2pypdh6n/behappy-0.3.1.zip/file
I just noticed that mediafire flagged my upload as "virus".
So I dropped the zip file to virustotal, and some encoders are detected as virus or trojan or whatnot (by max 4 search engines out of 69).
See here:
https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/9bb833c94d3bec4494f46009444a369f80a2f3c497aeb2b8687c00ece24c0499/relations

To compare I have also tested with encoders from Mulders site:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/muldersoft/files/Opus%20Tools/
and the results are even more crazy:
https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/dcedc57fed63d8f96d65b6dffc8f96d94b854dfc0d062a84c0d5329b767e46d9/relations

I am very confident that Mulders compiles contain no viruses and these are all false flags.
So I guess it is the same with the encoders in my upload. They are mostly from rarewares.org .
I think everyone must decide if they trust downloaded programs.

If someone has suggestions for alternative download sources than rarewares.org ...

[LigH]

I am not surprised that some Antivirus engines report false alarms for assembler optimized SSE builds of encoders, as provided by RareWares.

[john33]

I am confident that anything from Rarewares will be a false positive. I am afraid that virustotal is in many cases more of a hindrance than a help, their algorithms are not as smart as they would have people believe.

The Upmix DSP's can't work with Avs+ and SoxFilter.dll, maybe in the future (https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1984463#post1984463)...

Until that the Avs+ users can work with the commented soxfilter usage in d_UpMix.ext:

front = a#.soxfilter("filter 20-20000")
back = a#.soxfilter("filter 100-7000")
lfe = cc.Amplify(0.0)#ConvertToMono(a).soxfilter("lowpass 120","vol -0.5")
The filters are, for me, unnecesaries and the lfe is much better empty.

I can't see the new sources in https://github.com/jones1913/BeHappy

BTW I proppose a change:
Line 338 in old Encoder.cs:
int[] defmask = {0, 4, 3, 7, 51, 55, 63, 319, 1599, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0};

Num Mask Mask

--- ---- ---------------------------- --------------------------- ---- ------
1 4 FC FC 4 mono
2 3 FL FR FL FR 3 stereo
3 7 FL FR FC FL FR LFE 11 2.1
4 51 FL FR BL BR (quadro) FL FR FC BC 263 4.0 (first surround)
5 55 FL FR FC BL BR FL FR FC SL SR 1543 5.0
6 63 FL FR FC LFE BL BR FL FR FC LFE SL SR 1551 5.1
7 319 FL FR FC LFE BL BR BC FL FR FC LFE BC SL SR 1807 6.1
8 1599 FL FR FC LFE BL BR SL SR FL FR FC LFE BL BR SL SR 1599 7.1

Then must be:
int[] defmask = {0, 4, 3, 11, 263, 1543, 1551, 1807, 1599, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0};

Now the defaults are the same than ffmpeg, and with the pair SL/SR for surround, instead BL/BR like can see here (https://mediaarea.net/AudioChannelLayout)

Question: decoders like BestAudioSource or FFAudioSource export a runtime variable with the current dwChannelMask.
How can BeHappy read it to assign the correct maskchannel without need put it manually?

[jones1913]

I can't see the new sources in https://github.com/jones1913/BeHappy
It's up now.

Good question. I guess this has to be wired up in Avisynthwrapper.dll .
To start small: how would I retrieve this variable in an ordinary script?

[tebasuna51]

It's up now.
Thanks.

I don't know, I ask also in Avisynth usage thread (https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1984600#post1984600)

Had a look into av_get_default_channel_layout which iterates over channel_layout_map[] and returns the first entry with matching channel count, I see it differently.

Based on this:
https://ffmpeg.org/doxygen/trunk/channel__layout_8c_source.html
and
https://ffmpeg.org/doxygen/trunk/channel__layout_8h_source.html

The default five and six-channel setting is 5.0 BACK and 5.1 BACK, so they shouldn't be changed.
Changing the 3 and 4-channel defaults to 2.1 and 4.0 is O.K.

Changing the 3 and 4-channel defaults to 2.1 and 4.0 is O.K.
And 6.1 (7 channels) must be changed also.

Well, and ffmpeg must change 5.0 BACK and 5.1 BACK defaults.

In old times SL/SR (Side) was at 90º and BL/BR at 135º (Back like cuadro) and the AC3/DTS sources 5.1 with Surround channels (Ls/Rs) at 120º was decoded to BL/BR (120º near 135º than 90º)

But now the preference seems assign 110º (https://mediaarea.net/AudioChannelLayout) to Side (SL/SR) and Surround (Ls/Rs)

And ffmpeg is coherent with that:
DTS 5.0 decoded like 5.0(side)
DTS 5.1 decoded like 5.1(side)
AC3 5.0 decoded like 5.0(side)
AC3 5.1 decoded like 5.1(side)
...
What source must be decoded to BL/BR pair?

Then they at ffmpeg project know it well, just keep the above mentioned old defaults for compatibility reasons?

[tebasuna51]

Then they at ffmpeg project know it well, just keep the above mentioned old defaults for compatibility reasons?

I don't think so, but no problem for me (I am one of the last defender of decode Ls/Rs to BL/BR, but with eac3to I changed my mind and recommend the pair SL/SR).

BTW the BeHappy defaults was created by me, and I recommend actualize them because all sources 5.0/5.1 are decoded to SL/SR, and encoders accept better the SL/SR pair to create 5.0/5.1 files.

All AVR's 5.1 play SL/SR or BL/BR with the Ls/Rs speakers without problems.

The Upmix DSP's can't work with Avs+ and SoxFilter.dll, maybe in the future (https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1984463#post1984463)...

The filters are, for me, unnecesaries and the lfe is much better empty.
Soxfilter seems to work now with latest avs+ test version, should we still use your fix?

And 2 more questions:
- Audiolimiter.dll (for Down Mix) is 32bit only, so we must disable it in 64bit BeHappy build or is there an alternative?
- Do we still need BassAudioSource and NicAudioSource? Have they any use case that is not covered from our ffmpeg based filters?

[tebasuna51]

Soxfilter seems to work now with latest avs+ test version, should we still use your fix?

It is a test version, we can wait until we know how use it to include the maskchannel. BTW can be a user decision because:

- front = a#.soxfilter("filter 20-20000")

Who need that filter? For what a limit here? The encoders have filters to limit the banwidth based in bitrate requested.

- back = a#.soxfilter("filter 100-7000")

To save bitrate? Maybe this can have some sense.

- lfe = cc.Amplify(0.0)#ConvertToMono(a).soxfilter("lowpass 120","vol -0.5")

Never. Please don't mistake the LowFrequencyEfects channel with the subwoffer in an AVR.
The AVR, and also simple audio equipment 2.1, extract the low frequencies from ALL channels and send them to the subwoofer.
Create a unexistent LFE only can produce problems with differences in phase or cut frequencies betwen that filter and the AVR's filters configured more accurate with the speakers attached to them.
Please leave the lfe empty, or use a 5.0, when upmix 2.0 to 5.1

- Audiolimiter.dll (for Down Mix) is 32bit only, so we must disable it in 64bit BeHappy build or is there an alternative?

There are an alternative using the compand sox filter.
See the ffmpeg downmix (https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=181726), and in MeGui 64 thread (https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1916468#post1916468)

I will test it.

- Do we still need BassAudioSource and NicAudioSource? Have they any use case that is not covered from our ffmpeg based filters?
NicAudioSource is not necesary anymore after the other decoders support the drc=0.

BassAudioSource have some special decoders, for instance .mid, not supported in standard audio decoders. Maybe it is not used frequently but it is a option.

[tebasuna51]

WARNING: the sintax in last L-SMASH-Works-r1156.0.0.0 have a important change:

the recommended parameter for LWLibavAudioSource/LSMASHAudioSource(..., drc_scale=0,...) not work now, must be:
(..., ff_options = "drc_scale=0", ...)

Then if you use that new version (32 or 64 bits) you must change the s_L-SmashAudio.ext with the attached one.

There are also a upgraded SoxFilter 2.1 (https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1994527#post1994527) with some changes over the previous 1.0. If you use it I recommend upgrade also d_UpMix.ext and d_DownMix.ext with the attached, now work for 32 and 64 bits and not need AudioLimiter.dll:

[tebasuna51]

I still sometimes use BeHappy under Linux (per Wine) but it had some gui issues.
So I decided to make a recompile with a more recent toolkit and update some things.

Changelog:

- update to .net 4.8
- enabled AMD64 build
- added avisynth dlls for portable mode
- newer avisynthwrapper builds (borrowed from megui)
- replaced TimeStretchPlugin() function with TimeStretch()
- encoder updates (x64 builds if available)
- extension updates (thanks to contributors)
- add BestAudioSource extension
- added hi-dpi support, use nicer font
- gui tweaks (for better compability with linux/wine)


Notes:
- .net 4.8 is required, should work on win7 und later
- I have only tested with windows server 2019 evaluation in a virtual machine, but it should all work with recent win10 and 11
- if portable mode is not desired delete avisynth.dll and devil.dll from program folder
- in portable mode every source and dsp extension must specify the required plugin.dll
in <LoadAvsPlugin> tag, since there is no autoloading from a system-wide avisynth folder
- I have not tested dsp in x64 mode except timestretch, please test if required avs plugin dlls are in place
- preview button wont work in portable mode, does anyone use that anyway?
- on Linux it runs fine with the wine-mono package installed, installing .net 4.8 is not required

https://www.mediafire.com/file/1m4hbkv2pypdh6n/behappy-0.3.1.zip/file

@jones1913 if you are still interested in BeHappy development please consider update it to AviSynth+ 3.7.3 with the ChannelMask than now all audio decoders support.

Only need 64 bit versions now, you can read:
https://github.com/AviSynth/AviSynthPlus/blob/master/avs_core/include/avisynth.h

and the comments to MeGUI 6666 (https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=185399)

[siella]

Avisynth+ doesnt support 'TimeStretchPlugin' command. It should be updated.

[tebasuna51]

The last version v0.3.1.32760 is already updated and use the TimeStretch() command (need float samples) instead TimeStretchPlugin()

[siella]

I coudnt find new release. Can you give me link?
btw i updated ssrc ext. It needs Shibatch.dll

[tebasuna51]

Like you can see in my previous post the link by jones1913 don't work anymore.

I have a BeHappy64 v0.3.1.37671 (64 bits test version) and a BeHappy32 v0.3.0.37671 (last 32 bits version I know)

Shibatch.dll is included with each avisynth+ install and not need a specific load, include it in the ssrc.ext is not necesary for me. Maybe if avisynth is not installed correctly...

[siella]

i am using behappy mostly with avisynth.dll for portable. i dont install avisynth everytime if i use only behappy another computer.
Thank you for the files

[tebasuna51]

Of course is a option, then you need maintain all dll's involved manually.

[Kurt.noise]

I can provide a recent build using channel mask information if needed :-)

[tebasuna51]

Ok for me, but I don't know if there are many people using BeHappy now.

[SquallMX]

I can provide a recent build using channel mask information if needed :-)

Please. Do it.

[tebasuna51]

@Kurt, if you make a new version please put a switch to use the installed Avisynth+ or one local (portable) like MeGUI do.

One for users like siella and other for users like me (control the versions and plugins installed with a tool like Groucho AVS Installer (https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1720988#post1720988))
When use installed version BeHappy don't need load local plugins.
Users can also load special plugins like siella do with d_SSRC.ext

[Kurt.noise]

Why ? I dont see the point...just rename or delete plugins/plugins64 subfolder if you dont need to use local libraries.

[tebasuna51]

Why ? I dont see the point...just rename or delete plugins/plugins64 subfolder if you dont need to use local libraries.
You are right, the script created is like this:

#Source Plugin request: lsmashsource.dll
#"lsmashsource.dll" not found in "C:\Portable\BeHappy\plugins64"

########################################
# [Source: LWLibavAudioSource - Apply DRC scale 0; Stream Index:-1]
########################################
LWLibavAudioSource(...
But work without problems or other error messages.

I don't need update at all the plugins folder.

With MeGUI don't work like this, always need the required plugins in MeGUI subfolders even using the installed AviSynth.

[Kurt.noise]

Here are some fresh builds.

- x64 : https://www.mediafire.com/file/35u8xg2bhaobcyx/BeHappy-3.2.29142_x64.7z/file
- x86 : https://www.mediafire.com/file/xj13mnx0lofzt3u/BeHappy-3.2.19142_x86.7z/file

Hoping that I didnt missed something...

[Kurt.noise]

With MeGUI don't work like this, always need the required plugins in MeGUI subfolders even using the installed AviSynth.
That depends on how you use it.

[tebasuna51]

Many thanks Kurt, I make some tests without problems but there are many to do.

I test only the 64 bits version and by the moments I found some troubles with:

d_DownMix.ext: the AudioLimiter.dll don't have 64 bits version use SoxFilter instead.
d_UpMix.ext: The SoxFilter 'filter' was replaced with 'sinc'
e_Flac.ext: not use 'UseRawPCM' the channelmask can't be send to flac with raw pcm
e_QAAC.ext: not use a qaac subfolder, it is not needed at all
and other minor changes.

I upload the full subfolder 'extensions' than can be used in both versions (64 and 32 bits)

EDIT: new version in next post

[LigH]

the AudioLimiter.dll don't have 64 bits version use SoxFilter instead.

That was my personal reason to create AudioBoost (https://github.com/LigH-de/AudioBoost/) as replacement...

[tebasuna51]

Yep, it is easy create a new d_DownMix.ext and use it with BeHappy.

Edit: redownload extensions.7z for QAAC ALAC encoder

[tebasuna51]

I'm use AviSynth+ 3.7.3 (r4193 (https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=2014723#post2014723), master, x86_64) installed, then I moved all unneded files in BeHappy folder and I 7zip the new versions, to keep in attached files, to avoid mediafire timeout.

Kurt, the file BeHappy.exe.config is needed?. It is not present in old BeHappy versions.

The BeHappy.State file is created/modified with BeHappy to store ini values like window position, dsp order, etc. No problem (like LICENSE.txt).

AviSynth.dll and DevIL.dll are the local version not needed for me like all plugins in plugins subfolder (better empty fo me and AviSynth+ users)

The extensions folder is already uploaded, only we need encoders, remember https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1981982#post1981982 to locate the last versions of ffmpeg, qaac, FDK-AAC, exhale, opus, flac, oggenc2, etc

EDIT: new versions in next posts

[Kurt.noise]

Kurt, the file BeHappy.exe.config is needed?. It is not present in old BeHappy versions.
I dont think its required.

Thanks by the way to have updated extensions package. Yes, I hadn't tested everything.

[tebasuna51]

Like don't exist 64 bits BassAudio.dll (and all other bass_xxx.dll) the s_BassAudio.ext must be removed from the 64 bits extensions folder.

Making test about ChannelMask:

- WavSource, NicAudio and DirectShowSource can't output ChannelMask. Please don't use it and don't use WavSource like default for wav files.

- Use always BestAudioSource, FF, LSMASH or LWLibav. BeHappy output the correct value with these decoders and encoders try to convert it (only FLAC preserve the correct ChannelMask always).

- The BeHappy button ChMask cheked is ignored always, after a down or upmix a default value is used, for instance if I load this avs:

# Downmix to quadro
a=BSAudioSource("D:\Test\AudioD\Samples\wavs\8w341.wav")

flr = GetChannel(a, 1, 2)
fcc = GetChannel(a, 3, 3)
lrc = MixAudio(flr, fcc, 0.65, 0.35)
blr = GetChannel(a, 5, 6)
slr = GetChannel(a, 7, 8)
qlr = MixAudio(blr, slr, 0.5, 0.5)

MergeChannels(lrc, qlr)

AviSinth+ is not so smart to know the correct ChannelMask 51 (FL FR BL BR) quadro, and output the default for 4 channels 263 (FL FR FC BC)
Please when the ChMask is checked and filled with '51' put and end of generated script this (without check, the user can put a wrong value to test):

SetChannelMask("51")

Using it in my script I encode it to flac or ac3 correctly.

- It is possible use a encoder folder defined in BeHappy.state other than the default?
I use "C:\Portable\0" to put all audio/video/util .exe and now Foobar2000 and Useac3to share that folder.
I have it in the system %PATH% and can use ffmpeg, etc. from any folder.

Well, that would need to parse first the avs script...Because, users might add it already. So, we should not to add it twice.

[tebasuna51]

Many thanks Kurt, I'll test it asap.

[tebasuna51]

The encoder folder work fine but not preserved between sesions.

I test all encoders and only MusePack dont work at all because don't support WAVE_FORMAT_EXTENSIBLE header.
It is a old encoder and despite have multichannel support we can't know the channels present.
I moved the extension to the 'deprecated' folder to avoid the use.
[EDIT] If anybody want use the MusePack encoder (mpcenc.exe SV8 (https://www.musepack.net/index.php?pg=win)) can use a workaround with eac3to:
eac3to SOURCE stdout.wav -simple | mpcenc --standard - OUTPUT.mpc
Where SOURCE is a format supported by eac3to or a WAV/FLAC obtained from BeHappy

[END EDIT]

Like I say before only flac preserve the correct channel configuration, other encoders can't preserve all configs and some ones show a error about 'not supported' or assign the default for the number of channels.
But BeHappy seems work fine (remember use decoders Best, Lsmash or ffms, never Wavsource, DirectShow or NicAudio without channelmask)

The extensions folder is not updated in the release, with some problems (https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=2015258#post2015258).
Please replace it with the attached:
[EDIT] New thread BeHappy+ (https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=186267)

Please use this old and big thread to talk only about old BeHappy if necesary
