Error message with AvsP

[carlmart]

It's quite recently that I started using Avisynth and AvsP with Windows 7 x64.

Apparently Avisynth is doing fine, even if I have used it for converting DTS to AC3 only, with AvsP.

Even if conversion seems to be fine, every time I load AvsP I get this error message:

"error parsing LoadPluginEx_LoadPlugin plugin parameters: unknown character"

The script I'm using is very simple:



nicdtssource("c:\file.dts")

#amplifydb(10)

soundout


Amplifydb is used eventually if I need to increase levels.

What's the reason for the error message? Is something wrong that I need to correct?

See this post.
Cured by switching to Avisynth 2.6a3, or workaround by removing certain .avsi files from your plugin folder.

OK, so I should replace my Avisynth 2.5.8 for this 2.6a3?

What about also updating AvsP to AvsPmod 2.2.0?

As far as this specific problem is concerned (which is a bug in Avisynth 2.58), switching to AvsPmod does not help, although you may find it more attractive anyway for its additional features.

The bug is fixed in Avisynth 2.6a3.
If you prefer to stay with 2.58, you can work around the bug by finding which .avsi file is causing the problem and removing it from your plugins folder. (Something that calls a function in GetSystemEnv during loading is often the reason.) If you still need it for a particular script, you can still Import it explicitly without the problem occurring.

Which is Avisynth version 2.6a3? Even in places where it should be downloable, when I try to I get version 2.58.

I mean I do not get a version called 2.6a3 or anything.

[Gavino]

AviSynth 2.6.0 Alpha3

Thanks. I thought the number of the file had been wrong.

Downloaded and installed now. Works fine. No more error message.

Is there anything AvsPmod does better than the original? Should I upgrade?
