Avisynth plugin folder

[Serenato]

I know I shouldn't make a new thread for a trivial question like this, but if I don't, I can't start encoding, too. My problem is the following: I have Win7 64-bit installed, and I downloaded the latest Avisynth from the official page. The plugins are to be copied to the Plugins folder inside of Avisynth folder, right? I don't have such a folder, so what is the reason?

Please, delete my thread if it's necessary. I'm still green after all.

Did you look in C:\Program Files\Avisynth 2.5\, or in C:\Program Files (x86)\Avisynth 2.5\ ?

I have Avisynth folder only in Program Files (x86).

If you have Win7 64 bit, your plugin folder should be C:\Program Files (x86)\AviSynth 2.5\plugins if you used the installer. If it's not there, you can try to create it manually or try reinstalling avisynth.

32 bit Avisynth on Win 7 x64 will have the plugins in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Avisynth 2.5\plugins\".

Okay, I reinstalled and there's a plugin folder, so my problem solved. Though I can't understand, how it forgot to install this folder last time, when I used the same settings. Anyway, thank you, everyone!

You shouldn't care about stuff like that because auto-loading is and forever will be, under the current model, evil and broken. It causes way more problems than for what it's worth.

Just counted them, I have 237 plugs in my auto load plug folder and have not had a prob for at least 6 months.

Depend on the plugins...
I remember strange cases with edeen, warpsharp, awarpsharp where :

Edeen produced funky results if warpsharp or awarpsharp was in the folder

Or

Avisynth didn't absolutely want to work if warpsharp was in the folder (like when an avsi is broken)
BUT work if the filter is used.


I dont really remember what version ( warpsharp, awarpsharp, awarpsharp2, mod...)
A real mess

Autoloading itself works just fine. Especially if you patch it a bit so it looks for dependences in the same folder - no need to put fftw3.dll etc in system folder.
But you need to be careful with what you autoload - no wonder that buggy plugin autoloaded will cause glitches everywhere.

Thank you for the suggestions. I've encountered a problem right away. I would like to use GradFunkMirror, so I typed it in the script and AvsP gave an error, that there's no such a fuction. I tried loading the plugin at the first line of the script, but it couldn't find it. Perhaps I'm missing something important. To the plugin folder I have copied gradfun2db.ll, GradFun2DBmod.v1.3. and GradFunkMirror.avs.

To the plugin folder I have copied ... GradFunkMirror.avs.
You need to rename it as GradFunkMirror.avsi for it to be loaded automatically from the plugins folder.

It's really working. Thank you a lot!
