VapourSynth Installer, Applications, & Plugins for macOS (Intel)

[Selur]

Thanks!

[asarian]

Looks like R53 installer is fairly broken. :( Whenever I try and start a script, I get

"Python exception: No attribute with the name avs exists. Did you mistype a plugin namespace?"

I do nothing special, just core.avs.LoadPlugin ("C:/Program Files (x86)/dgdecnv/x64 Binaries/DGDecodeNV.dll")

All PATH setting look okay, like C:\Users\name\AppData\Local\Programs\VapourSynth\core\plugins

What is going wrong here?!

[videoh]

Don't know what the problem is for you with avs compat mode but you can use native Vapoursynth mode for DGSource():

...
core.std.LoadPlugin'D:/Don/Programming/C++/DGDecNV/DGDecodeNV/x64/release/DGDecodeNV.dll')
video = core.dgdecodenv.DGSource('Harry Potter.dgi',show=True)
...

If you must have AVS compat mode, then please post your full script and hopefully Vapoursynth gurus will help. This is working for me after R53 install:

import vapoursynth as vs
core = vs.get_core()
core.avs.LoadPlugin('D:/Don/Programming/C++/DGDecNV/DGDecodeNV/x64/release/DGDecodeNV.dll')
video = core.avs.DGSource('Harry Potter.dgi',show=True)
video.set_output()

Okay, that works. :) Thx. Not sure why the avs route doesn't work any more, but this will do.

The video starts encoding, but still getting "Core plugin autoloading failed. Installation is broken?"

What could be causing this? I used the official R53 installer. These are the values in PATH:

C:\Users\name\AppData\Local\Programs\VapourSynth\core
C:\Users\name\AppData\Local\Programs\VapourSynth\vsrepo

And those are corresponding with values in Registry.


EDIT: And the py promp output:

>>> from vapoursynth import core
>>> print(core.version())
Core plugin autoloading failed. Installation is broken?

Vapoursynth guys will have to help with that. Did you try emptying your autoload dir? Something in there may be problematic.

[asarian]

Finally got it working again. Not sure the installer (VS itself?) has hardcoded paths, but after uninstall everything, and putting things back to C:/Program Files/VapourSynth/, as it should (instead of the rather weird AppData/Local), all is good again.

@asaria: How about discussing Windows issues in the Windows thread and not the MacOS thread?

Then how about making the topic title less ambiguous? To me, topic just reads as 'VapourSynth Installer, Applications, AND plugins for macOS,' aka 'All things installer related.' Especially since there's no comparable sticky for Windows install issues.

Perhaps you can look at the FRC source code and tell me what needs to be changed to make it compatible with MacOS or Linux?

Those kind of things should be better documented to help plugin developers write re-usable code, structured the right way from the start.

[Selur]

@MysterX: first start would be a build script that's not VisualStudio based. ;)
I think a GNUmakefile, a meson.build or a CMake configure file are the usual suspects.

That one is just a script, it should work just fine no matter what platform.

[Selur]

No, the release consists of a script and a library. :)

[l33tmeatwad]

No, the release consists of a script and a library. :)
Ah, I missed that, yeah it needs some kind of compatible build system or xcode project file setup for it to build.

C++20 has been a valid option since clang10, you should update your compiler.

[l33tmeatwad]

Added to my to-do list right behind updating dependancies.
Added this, was crashing on my Sierra VM but was working on actual hardware with macOS 10.15.

[feisty2]

Odd, mine is fully up to date...in fact I actually updated it right before trying.

https://godbolt.org/z/Md71rK8dx
as you can see, C++20 has been there since 10.0.0
I heard that apple ships crippled clang with their IDE, not exactly sure if that's true

That said, it needed to be -std=c++2a, but the implementation of semaphore appears to be not what macOS likes as well, so this particular plugin may need some work to be fully compatible with macOS.

[Selur]

Struggling with this on Ubuntu 20.04 too (https://github.com/HomeOfVapourSynthEvolution/VapourSynth-RIFE-ncnn-Vulkan/issues/4),..
building didn't work with clang++-10, clang++-11, but did work with gc++-11 (what a pain, but happy it worked; thx to IFeelBloated)
-> my guess is, that building it for MacOS might also require gcc++-11.

[Selur]

Please update https://vsdb.top/vapoursynth/mac/ it at least is missing TIVTC :(

[ChaosKing]

The mediafire sync script is not working anymore ( they changed something again )
Only TIVTC was missing.

[Selur]

Okay, thanks for the info. :)

DegrainMedian also was missing long long time ago https://www.mediafire.com/folder/wvdlnjapm1vvw#1buuzhtdhu066

[ChaosKing]

It was never listed because I filter by extensions to generate the list. It's the only one file with a .tgz extension. *fixed*

[shph]

l33tmeatwad, can you check libdecross.dylib and libdpid.dylib somehow? Seems there is a conflict between them. When both are installed and i click to libdecross.dylib or to libdpid.dylib - Finder relaunches. As i remember same problem was noticed due conflict somewhere in names.

If i remove libdpid.dylib - there is no more Finder crash when i click to libdecross.dylib

[l33tmeatwad]

Installer for R54 is up, only the core files are updated, not dependencies.

[Selur]

Nice thanks!
Also I found another filter: https://github.com/AmusementClub/VapourSynth-EEDI2CUDA :)

Hi! I'm not entirely sure how to install vsutil in a way VSEdit will recognize. If I install through my system's pip it ends up somewhere VSEdit still doesn't see. Any tips?

Sorry, I need to add some documentation to the first post. The installer is bottled framework with it's own copy of python. To access the VapourSynth specific python3 or pip3 in terminal you can use the commands vspython3 or vspip3.

[Selur]

@kedautinh12: you are aware that thos require pytorch (5GB+) and installing them like mentioned in the git pages is probably the best way.

Just noticed that, once the dependancies are installed they can be easily installed with the vspip3 command:
vspip3 install --upgrade vsffdnet
vspip3 install --upgrade vsdpir
vspip3 install --upgrade vsrife

Edit: Just know the dependancies may need to be installed in a similar fashion.

[Selur]

btw. does Placebo work on MacOS?
I copied

"libvs_placebo.dylib" to "/Library/Frameworks/VapourSynth.framework/lib/vapoursynth"
"libplacebo.72.dylib" to "/Library/Frameworks/VapourSynth.framework/lib/"

and called
sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine /Library/Frameworks/VapourSynth.framework/*
but I still get:

Might be that I can't use it in my MacOS Vm due to lack of gpu support, but it would be nice to know whether somone tested the filter. :)

Only works on 10.15+ with Vulkan installed and does not work in a VM.

[Selur]

Okay, but it does work :) Thanks!

[l33tmeatwad]

Okay, but it does work :) Thanks!
I haven't done extensive tests, but it loads and previews.

[l33tmeatwad]

I apologize in advance for the delay, but I'm in the middle of another project so I'll get around to R55 as soon as I can.

[l33tmeatwad]

Working on this currently, the R55+ updates break VapourSynth Editor, so if only VapourSynth Editor 2 is updated it can change the dynamics of how far back is supported overall since it does not support macOS 10.12. I will need to get the latest version of VapourSynth Editor 2 compiled before I really push anything out as everything currently pre-compiled does not support previewing of scripts, which kind of defeats the purpose of this thread and the installer.

[l33tmeatwad]

Okay, sorry for the delay but the R55 & R56 installers are live. They both include Python 3.9, instead of 3.8 like the previous version, so make sure to backup your Scripts folder (aka sites-packages) to avoid losing scripts that you have added. In addition to those I have also added VapourSynth Editor r19 mod 1, which will be required for these new versions. Another note, the version of Image Reader/Writer is from R54 due to the fact that the API4 version would not autoload, I'll be looking into that and hopefully try to figure out why.

[Selur]

Are those API4 or API3 builds?

[l33tmeatwad]

Good question, vspipe lists both? I didn't see any way to specify so I assume it doesn't matter for VapourSynth itself since I saw it supported both types of plugins and I don't really know how to compile the plugins for API4 yet so they are all whatever the default is.
