StaxRip 2.0 Support Thread

[Revan654]

You had just stated in previous post that the indexer *was* changed, and it is obvious that it has. Even the index files it creates are different from the indexer included in the 1.9 package.

From the 1.9 distro (\Apps\Plugins\Both\FFMS2\):

Edit: Note that moving "ffmsindex.exe" from the 2.0 package to 1.9 causes 1.9 to have the same problem. There is either a problem with that version of "ffmsindex.exe" or a problem with how that version interacts with StaxRip.

I don't think you completely read what I said. Second this isn't a StaxRip issue but an issue with ffmsindex, The commands are being passed just fine.

Hi Revan, I add a few additional AVS scripts such as FillBorders, BalanceBorders etc. into StaxRip Filter Profiles so they're there as selectable options in the menus.

I'm looking to migrate over to Vapoursynth but I can't seem to make any sense out of how the scripting works on a basic level. I've got FillBorders up and running in VS using clip = core.fb.FillBorders() through trial and error.

But, for example, would you know how I can get VS script bbmod2 (https://pastebin.com/YMBnDLE4) working in StaxRip please?

I've got as far as saving the script as a .py file in C:\Program Files\VapourSynth\plugins64 anyway :)

Thanks! :thanks:

Found another little glitch...

The Problem: When running an Xvid compressibility check, the recorded time stats in the log are erroneous due to the start time not being set properly. It gives an output like this:

Start: 12:00:00 AM
End: 11:46:17 AM
Duration: 17690435:46:17

53 %

The Fix: Move the initial Xvid compressibility check log messages to the "proc" routine. The start time is set when the proc.header is logged. When a new proc structure is created, it has its own LogBuilder structure, which would require the header to logged within that context.

Another minor side glitch: The log file should probably be saved at the end of the routine so that the log gets flushed. As it stands, the compressibility percentage value does not make it into the log until something else is logged or the project closed.

Thanks! :thanks:

All Scripts need to be saved to the Staxrip/Apps/Plugins/VS/Scripts.

Then you just need to use the import command to use them.

It will usually always be clip = scriptname.function(source, syntax)

bbmod2(c, cTop = None, cBottom = None, cLeft = None, cRight = None, thresh = 128, blur = 999)

It should be something like this:

import Scriptname
clip = Scriptname.bbmod2(clip, options....)

My suggestion is learn a bit of Python that way VS will be very easy to understand or have Staxrip build a script and use that as a reference point.

Thanks Revan.

But I've copied the script file into the Staxrip/Apps/Plugins/VS/Scripts folder and still can't get it to work unfortunately.

Both the scriptname and function is bbmod2, but clip = bbmod2.bbmod2(c, cTop = None, cBottom = None, cLeft = None, cRight = None, thresh = 128, blur = 999) still throws up the following error :-

Python exception: name 'bbmod2' is not defined

That's because you didn't define your source & you didn't import the Script.

import ScriptName
clip = bbmod2.bbmod2(c, cTop = None, cBottom = None, cLeft = None, cRight = None, thresh = 128, blur = 999)

c should be replaced with clip

ScriptName should be replaced with the name of the script.

Your likely the only person who actually still uses XviD, XviD code hasn't been updated since 2016-.
I assumed that the Xvid code would not be a high priority. That is why I spent the time to investigate the issues and provided solutions to the problems found.

Instead of keep posting source code, just submit a merge on github. If it passes it could then possible be added to the Code if it passes Testing.
Hopefully, there will not be a need to post more code, but if I spot more glitches, I will check out the github merge process.

XviD is considered Legacy, I've been considering just to drop it Completely and let it remain in FFmpeg.

That looks like old Code, It's all based on how you make a connection with github. That message looks to be from sourceForge connection when StaxRip used 7zip portable.

Things keep changing and it's hard to keep up with them. I never really bothered with the API. I should look into one day.

It will not download any releases from the Pipeline (https://ci.appveyor.com/project/Revan654/staxrip/build/artifacts) you have to do that manually. I don't think appveyor has an API, The site uses unique keys. You would need to do a bunch of web scrapping to get the key Which Requires cookiedata + another Key to create the key, then use that key to obtain the dl page.

My other Program does it for another site, Code is another 300+ lines and Usage of RestAPI. I really don't want to add more files to required files for StaxRip to run.

[gonca]

My needs are simple
I want to load a Vaporsynth/Avisynth script and use the encoder of my choice. Then I would mux to MKV (video only)
Is there a way to use StaxRip with only x265 and Mkvmerge (no AvsMeter, BDSup2Sub, etc)

Its not a big deal, I can update it manually, thanks.

P.S. Where do I get all the updated 3rd party apps used by StaxRip?

Everythingis still WIP. I was half asleep when I wrote it. Elseif Statement just needs to be added.

**Edit**

Re-Wrote it with different form of Try and removed the need to know the OS.

[Natty]

There definitely is a problem with the "ffmsindex.exe" included in the 2.0 package. The problem apparently does not occur when the indexing time is short, but when indexing takes more than 3-4 minutes, the indexer will actually index the file *twice*, causing StaxRip to hang while it does the second pass. The problem disappears if you replace the FFMS2 files in the 2.0 package with those from the 1.9 package.

you are right. it lags and even fails sometimes. :)

Your using Old Build which has Been tweaked in the Pipeline builds and make sure QS is Enabled.

On Skylake if your using GPU like Nvidia. QS would not enable unless you tweak the setting in your Bios. Not sure if intel/ Motherboards have changed this Since Skylake release.

[Revan654]

you are right. it lags and even fails sometimes. :)

ffindex does use LAVF demuxer, Without that or some other demuxer ffindex will struggle. It's why I try to compile a static version of ffindex with some resource already contained inside.

I guess i'm the only one with ffindex working correctly.


When using MP4 L-Smash Should be used, Other Formats DG or ffms should be used.

------

honestly, I would upgrade to DGDecNV and pay the tiny amount of money. Since it's well worth the price.

Only common format that it does not support are Apple formats(Not yet atlease Based on Dec Release) & VP9(Using Webm).

Works perfectly fine at my end. Nothing has been altered with preview window.

[Natty]

is it possible to get option to view bitrate used in preview window? :)

[videoh]

[Revan654]

is it possible to get option to view bitrate used in preview window? :)

In it's current State, No. It doesn't use MediaInfo or anything like that for displaying those values. It uses Windows resources when building the data.

Not sure of all functions and sub functions of avifil32.dll. Plus can't really find any docs for it, When you try google it you get nothing but How to fix missing dll problems.

[MrScientist]

Thank you for the info. The Pipeline build works.

Just FYI, there were no BIOS settings on either my Kaby Lake or Coffee Lake motherboards to turn on QSV. It's on automatically.

Work with x264 ... !!

[vanden]

Well finally I found the problem : it is the x265 version provided by staxrip (2.9 + 34) that does not work at home.
Replace with version 3.0_Au + 7 it works.

I still have some questions my source file is 420 10bit HDR :

1. In the AVS file I have: format = "YUV420P8" and in the encoding log I have :
avs2pipemod [info]: writing 2843 frames of 24000/1001 fps, 3840x1600,
sar 0: 0, YUV-420-planar-8bit progressive video.
y4m [info]: 3840x1600 fps 24000/1001 i420p8 unknown frame count
raw [info]: output file: NUL

Normally it should not be 10 bit ?

2. in the encoding log I also :
x265 [warning]: NAL HRD parameters require VBV parameters, ignored

What do these parameters correspond to ?

3. Is it better to use LSMASHSource.dll or ffms2.dll ?

Are there any other parameters to modify to encode in HDR ?

[sneaker_ger]

1. Your AviSynth script seems to convert to 8 bit.
2. --vbv-maxrate and --vbv-bufsize
3. ffms2 is a bit simpler because it supports native high-bitdepth formats. (i.e. it might solve question/problem 1)

[vanden]

OK, thanks

I redid a test with ffms2 but in the encoding log I always 8bit :

can it be necessary to specify 10 bit in the file avs ?
My AVS :
LoadCPlugin("C:\Program Files\Staxrip.2.x64\Apps\Plugins\both\ffms2\ffms2.dll")
FFVideoSource("F:\Lucy_temp\Test-001.mkv", colorspace = "YV12", \
cachefile = "F:\Lucy_temp\Test-001.ffindex")
What are the value for --vbv-maxrate and --vbv-bufsize on Bluray UHD ?

[sneaker_ger]

Try to remove "colorspace" parameter:
LoadCPlugin("C:\Program Files\Staxrip.2.x64\Apps\Plugins\both\ffms2\ffms2.dll")
FFVideoSource("F:\Lucy_temp\Test-001.mkv", cachefile = "F:\Lucy_temp\Test-001.ffindex")

Guys,

Is there a guideline in coverting UHD hdr(mkv) to Blueray(mkv)?

[vanden]

Just resize in 1920x1080, do a tone mapping (+Add/Color/HDRCore/Tone Mapping).
Choose between DGReinhard and DGHable.
Encode in x264.

OK, thanks

If not defined it uses the default value which is 0.

--blu-ray-compat to x265, enforcing profile, level and tier limits as well as GOP structure limitations defined by the Blu-Ray Disc Association.

If I recall Flag is mainly for Legacy devices, It does nothing for newer hardware that has HDR / UHD support.

Many of the auto Switches are set to 8 Bit, I should remove them, Since allot are creating more problems then they solve.

[Revan654]

1. Your AviSynth script seems to convert to 8 bit.
2. --vbv-maxrate and --vbv-bufsize
3. ffms2 is a bit simpler because it supports native high-bitdepth formats. (i.e. it might solve question/problem 1)

3. Kind of, It's support some. I could never get some P010 source to load correctly. Same goes with other 10Bit+ Formats.

Yes, All Flags & data required have been posted a few pages back. You need to met all of them for certain functions to work(x265).

StaxRip switched to 3.0 awhile ago.

FYI, I have no idea if x265 flag HRD Concat is correctly marked or not. the cli list it as ---hrd-concat and the doc has it as the normal two dash flag --hrd-concat. I assume it an oversight in the cli

If it's MP4 LSMASHSource(LWLibavVideoSource should be used since it has a larger range of support) Just be careful with ffms2 it has a history of reporting incorrect metadata since it doesn't read certain mediaFiles correctly.

Anyone Here who codes or using VS 2019 RC build? Notice any type freezing where you can't type anyone without re-clicking the screen?

Raven,

There are times the default source doesn't work. I have to explicitly put "LWLibavVideoSource". I was wondering why does it create a "*.lwi" file in the source directory instead in the designated temp folder?

Technically ffms2 should work the best with most formats. It's why it's listed as default. it's just best guess based on what has worked in the past. Of course with newer formats being released it's hard to judge now of days.

I really wish some more sourcefilters would get released to expand source filter choices.

DG Index works the best with most common formats(minus webm (Since there VP9 or VP8) and Apple encoded mp4 files. videoh has apple supported files planned for releases sometime in the future. The tool is Well worth the small fee if you got hardware that supports it.

.lwi is created where ever the source is (This is hard coded inside the dll), I can't do anything about that Since it's not directly tied to StaxRip.

If you call ffms2 without indexing it will create a similar type file. Technically I could tell StaxRip to delete the file Once encoding is complete. However It could screw things up with the encoding process if you try to encode it again.

With the Thumbnailer, I have it set to auto delete the index file once done.

VS 2019 Visual Basic Setting: This feature is not available yet(Where C# version is). I guess MS really wants to kill of VB and WinForms based on whats being updated in dotnet 4.8.

[Natty]

latest ffms2 has so many bugs so you may try to use older version. this is a new trend.

StaxRip doesn't use the base ffms2(It's Included if Needed). It uses ffms2 C-plugin.

StaxRip is the best tool,
congratulations

@Revan654
Thanks for your work on StaxRip. Is there any ETA on an updated version?

There always a newer Beta release in the pipeline.
