Linux AviSynth Switcher

[tcope]

The switcher is a wonderful idea, however it does not play well for those running wine on Linux..

To solve this I have written a bash script to complement the project.

VERSION='2.1 (03-10-2017)'

Version 2.1 is now avail.

Added feature to cascade list, allowing
cascade options to target "ALL32" and "ALL64".

The documentation of website has been
updated to reflect the new changes.
A complete changlog can be found
included with the zip file.

I have successfully tested it in both
32 and 64 bit wine prefixes.

Now both 32 and 64 bit AVS installs, will
correctly coexist in a single 64 bit wine
prefix.

Introducing a new cascade plugin loader.
Allows granular plugin loading with as many
different plugin directories as you like and
gives granularity for which plugins load for
each AVS version.

This allows centralized plugin management
outside of wine prefixes.

The AviSynth+ auto loader is also supported
and behaves as normal, along side of the
cascade loader.

The download, along with detailed information
can be found at......

Hopefully others will find this useful.
I welcome all feedback and look forward
to hearing of your experiences.

Cheers :)

Feel free to include it in your package.
Cheers :)
I'm not (yet) using Linux so I can't test it. I'll certainly include it if I get some feedback from other users.

Attachments usually take very long to get approved around here, you might consider posting it on dropbox or similar.

TY for the heads up.. No worries if they don't get to it any time soon.
It can be downloaded from here.

No mismatch, that's how it should be.


You can tell I dont spend much time with windows these days.
Leave it to microsoft to do some confusing nonsense like that.

TY for clarifying.

The script has been fixed and download links restored.
Hopefully others will find it useful also.
I welcome feedback

Cheers :)

Ah, I see.
VERSION=2.1 (03-10-2017): Added entry for libfftw3f-3.dll in system loadable dll list.
-current list-:
dllLIST="avisynth.dll devil.dll libfftw3f-3.dll"
What does libfftw have to do with the Avisynth core? That choice seems rather random. This DLL is used by some plugins, other plugins may have other dependencies.

The information on the website has
also been updated to reflect all the
changes.

Cheers :)

libfftw3f-3.dll is one i needed and is
added to the list to demonstrate how
to add items to the list, while having
items in the list but not having them
installed has no ill effects.

Done basically to call attention to the
concept for installing system dll's vs
plugin dll's.

[tcope]

i went into more details on the website on that topic

[tcope]

To clarify. it does not need to be installed.
Was done to highlight the concept.

[Groucho2004]

OK, just a couple of things:

libfftw3f-3.dll is not a plugin (as stated on your page), it's a support DLL.
Some plugins will try to load libfftw3f-3.dll but with a different name (fftw3.dll) so just having libfftw3f-3.dll in the system directory won't help.
I would probably use a separate variable for support libraries but that's of course your choice.

good catch.. Typo now corrected on website.

I would probably use a separate variable for support libraries

Originally considered that, but wasnt sure how many support
libraries are generally being used. At the moment I am only
needing the one. Seemed easier than adding multiple lines of
support code to add one system dll .

There may be others out there with a long list
of system dll's they use. You all have a better idea
of how many support libraries outside the core
are commonly being used.

Could deff split that off into its own var if needed.
