VSRepoGUI - A simple plugin manager for VapourSynth

[ChaosKing]

I made a simple gui for VSRepo (https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=175590).


Python.exe needs to be in PATH! You need .net 4.5.2 I think.

Download here (https://github.com/theChaosCoder/VSRepoGUI/releases)
Source (https://github.com/theChaosCoder/VSRepoGUI)

Some feedback and feature requests would be nice.

Todo:
- fix bugs :P
- console output or better progressbar
- check if 7z is callable.

For a portable mode you need to create a "vsrepogui.json" text file in the same folder as the exe with the following contents:
(relative paths are now also supported)
{
"Bin":"D:\\PortableApps\\VapourSynth\\vsrepo\\abc d\\vsrepo.py",
"win32": {
"Binaries":"abc d\\p32",
"Scripts":"..\\scripts"
},
"win64": {
"Binaries":"D:\\PortableApps\\VapourSynth\\vsrepo\\abc d\\p64",
"Scripts":"D:\\PortableApps\\VapourSynth\\vsrepo\\abc d\\scripts"
}
}

The UI design looks quite good but it don't start here, it only shows up in task manager for 2-3 seconds.

[Myrsloik]

Doesn't start for me either.

[ChaosKing]

Try this -> Target .net 4.5.2: https://www.dropbox.com/s/h15qzjpdc0ii95w/VSRepoGUI_45.zip?dl=1

EDIT
hmm I tried it on a different pc and it also didn't start. There should be a message if vsrepo etc is not found. I'm investigating.

EDIT2
It seems that it happens while reading the VS regkey. Will update it tomorrow.

[ChaosKing]

OK please test again.
Would be better to add 4 Tabs (= 4 lists) for "installed, not installed, unknown version and update available" plugins instead of one big list?

[stax76]

The problem persists.

[lansing]

It still crashing on startup

[ChaosKing]

And no messagebox is shown? I only tested it on win10 64bit.

I had no try catch before.

RegistryKey localKey;
if (Environment.Is64BitOperatingSystem)
localKey = RegistryKey.OpenBaseKey(RegistryHive.LocalMachine, RegistryView.Registry64);
else
localKey = RegistryKey.OpenBaseKey(RegistryHive.LocalMachine, RegistryView.Registry32);

string reg_value = null;
try
{
reg_value = (string)localKey.OpenSubKey("SOFTWARE\\VapourSynth").GetValue("Path");
} catch
{

MessageBox.Show("Can not find your VapourSynth installation.");
System.Environment.Exit(1);
}

Could you run this build https://www.dropbox.com/s/o0wj9l9tkokfiuy/VSRepoGUI_msg.zip?dl=1
It shows A, B, C etc
What is the last letter you're seeing?

[stax76]

it shows:

A0
A
B
C

that is all that shows, still no main windows, use a trace listener maybe.

https://docs.microsoft.com/de-de/dotnet/framework/debug-trace-profile/how-to-create-and-initialize-trace-listeners

[ChaosKing]

It crashes after the first python call. It would indicate that python.exe is not in your Environment Variables thus it can't start the process.

I added a python check now. Redownload from 1st post.

You can call the gui now with a parameter .\VSRepoGUI.exe C:\Python37\python.exe

[stax76]

I did not have python in PATH probably because the official installer has disabled it by default, but the official installer installs the global py launcher by default.

I've reinstalled Python with PATH option enabled and rebooted but your app still don't start, it shows a console window for a few milliseconds.

python-3.7.3-amd64-webinstall.exe is what I installed.

[ChaosKing]

What OS are you using, win10 64bit?) Are you using the latest (installed) vapoursynth version? Typing python -V in powershell or cmd works?

I don't really see what I'm missing right now. I tested it on a another pc and everything is working fine. Maybe the debug build will provide more usefull information https://www.dropbox.com/s/qy398voe4d3qn1r/VSRepoGUI_debug.zip?dl=1

[stax76]

The Easiest way to find out is uploading the source code.

Use HKLM Software\Vapoursynth\PythonPath for automatic detection. That will always point to the base path of the python the vs module was installed to.

Thx will add it.

I found the problem! F**g quotes were missing, and I always used a custom install path (with no spaces in it) :o Redownload please.


/!\ YOU NEED also 7zip installed or 7z.exe in PATH for vsrepo.py to work correctly. Otherwise only a handfull plugins will work/install.

I will upload the source code later, after some cleaning :P

[StainlessS]

I found the problem! F**g quotes were missing

No idea if relevant or of use but maybe see here for when Path contains a double quote (I have seen this ghastly practice in real paths/filenames):- https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1871275#post1871275
Is an avisynth solution but easily converted.

Small script function to enclose a string in double quotes (if you dont know what you might want it for, then you probably dont need it).
If the string itself contains double quotes then encapsulates in set of tripple double quotes, otherwise a single pair of double quotes.

EnQuot() for RT_Stats, EnQuot2() for avs v2.60 only (req FillStr v2,.60)


BlankClip(Width=320,height=64,color=-$FF000000)

S=""""We "have' a' " QU"ote or ' two"""

#S=""

Function EnQuot(string S) { Q=RT_StrPad("", S.RT_FindStr(Chr(34))==0 ? 1 : 3 ,Chr(34)) Return Q+S+Q } # Req RT_Stats v1.43+
Function EnQuot2(string S) { Q=FillStr(S.FindStr(Chr(34))==0 ? 1 : 3 ,Chr(34)) Return Q+S+Q } # Requires Avs v2.60 for FillStr

S=S.Enquot # RT
#S=S.Enquot2 # Avs v2.6

Result without EnQuot.

[lansing]

It's working good, found some bugs,
- the search function doesn't work with the "hide installed" filtering
- the "current installed version" of the local filters is missing in the display
- the text from the "paths" dialog box need to be copyable
- the "win64" filtering option is pretty much obsolete now as vs and vseditor both moves away from 32 bit

I would also like the font size to be a little bigger.

[stax76]

@ChaosKing

It starts but out of screen bounds: https://postimg.cc/K1zTCBn9

I would also like the font size to be a little bigger.

Parsing the current installed version from vsrepos output is only reliable as long as there are no spaces within the version text. (Currently it seems what there are no spaces, but I encountered this in "AVSRepo") So I left it out for now.

Win64 - What if you have VS32bit and 64bit installed? But yes, the win64 checkbox is more relevant for AVSRepo.

Paths was more a button for me to test stuff. The PLUGINS and SCRIPTS buttons should be enough. I will remove it.


@ChaosKing

It starts but out of screen bounds: https://postimg.cc/K1zTCBn9

Height is set to 800 and minHeight to 600px. I will lower the minHeight.
What is your screen resolution?

[stax76]

4k 288 dpi

[ChaosKing]

Just a small Update, now with a Local Version column.

@stax76 Are other apps also this big? WPF should be dpi aware. What is your scaling value in windows, 200%?
I have "3K" -> 1440p @ 100%. With scaling @ 150% it is very big, but looks ok and stays within the screen.

[stax76]

like I said 288 DPI (96 DPI equals 100% zoom so my zoom is 300%)

[ChaosKing]

ok and is alpha2 also out of screen bounds?

[stax76]

Well, I downloaded the link from first post saying it's a2 but title bar says a1 so probably chrome browser cache issue, use dl filenames including version like VSRepoGUIvA2.zip

[stax76]

Downloaded with another browser, still out of screen bounds.

[ChaosKing]

Downloaded with another browser, still out of screen bounds.

I forgot to change the version string :D
But you can resize it smaller?

[stax76]

But you can resize it smaller?

It starts with title bar out of screen, I press shift+win+up to make title bar show, I know shortcuts and tricks not every DAU knows...

[gonca]

4K display and it shows up fine, and I am only one of those DAU types (DUMB ASS USER) and I also know some "shortcuts and workarounds".

[stax76]

you are young and use less than 288DPI/300% zoom

edit:

dau: Dümmster Anzunehmender User

[gonca]

At 57 years of age with a blind right eye I am young and see well? Yeah, yeah!

[stax76]

I'm sorry then, born 76 and never had the best eyesight.

[gonca]

Don't worry about it, let's forget about it

[ChaosKing]

Alpha3
- Removed some duplicate calls, should start faster now
- Use PythonPath if available in vs registry
- Win64 toggle is fully working now
- Added a "portable mode"
- auto update definitions on start
EDIT: And fixed search
EDIT2: And source code is up

For portable mode you need to create a "vsrepogui.json" text file in the same folder as the exe with the following contents:

{
"Bin":"D:\\PortableApps\\VapourSynth\\vsrepo\\abc d\\vsrepo.py",
"win32": {
"Binaries":"D:\\PortableApps\\VapourSynth\\vsrepo\\abc d\\p32",
"Scripts":"D:\\PortableApps\\VapourSynth\\vsrepo\\abc d\\scripts",
},
"win64": {
"Binaries":"D:\\PortableApps\\VapourSynth\\vsrepo\\abc d\\p64",
"Scripts":"D:\\PortableApps\\VapourSynth\\vsrepo\\abc d\\scripts",
}
}

[ChaosKing]

Alpha4
- Added Tabs
- It is now possible to use relative paths in vsrepogui.json
- Fixed high dpi issue (@stax76 please test)

libfftw3-3.dll and libfftw3f-3.dll not vs plugin? False alarm? Or maybe put them into a different category because they're required by other filters.

[ChaosKing]

Yes they are not VS plugins, You can't load them via LoadPlugin() but it doesn't mean they can't be dependencies of other plugins and that's why it is under "Notice" and not Error. Should I add some additional infos? Suggestions?

That notice make me think that those plugins be things like just completely wrong files or they may had got put into the folder by accident and they're safe to delete.

[ChaosKing]

How about like this?

[lansing]

i tried putting an avs dll in the plugin folder and the diagnostic test is also putting it in the same category as the fftw files. Maybe adding a logic to separate the dependencies file to any other random files?

[ChaosKing]

I can't check if it is a real dependency. Only that it is not a VS plugin.

[Myrsloik]

I can't check if it is a real dependency. Only what it is not a VS plugin.

If you're really insane you could parse the package json and see which files belong to a plugin and simply exclude them. I don't recommend that you do this.

[ChaosKing]

Hmm this would at least work for files that are in that package. The file is parsed and read anyway :P

[ChaosKing]

Better? Comparison is at filename level, maybe I will add hash compare someday so what w2xc-abc.dll would be also recognized.

[lansing]

Maybe also list non DLL files, like avsmeter does?

I don't know about that, because the VMAF filter has a model folder that has like 90 files inside, that's going to be a long list.

The diagnostic test is use to check when something goes wrong, and I don't think those files are going to matter.

[ChaosKing]

I worked a bit on the dependency stuff.
Question: I know that for example that "MSVCP140.dll" is a "Visual C++ Redistributable" Runtime dll, but can I know from which Runtime it is? from 2015, 2017? Or replaces the 2017 dll the 2015 version?

2019 replaces both 2017 and 2015.

[Dreamject]

It does not work with portable versions. Imo it should detect vs like
If vapoursynth library in current folder, then apply updates to currentdir. Portable/usual mode has different folder strucrure

[ChaosKing]

It supports portable version currently only via a "vsrepogui.json" file. (You can set relative paths, but still need python in path)

[Dreamject]

Okay... But what's wrong with autodetection in %cd%

[ChaosKing]

Nothing wrong with it. I needed a custom path for Scripts, so I quickly implement it via a file. This way it's more universal and easier to test around for me. I will add autodetect maybe in the future.

Okay, cool.

Some real feedback, I'm pretty new to VS and this was really helpful when trying to find dependencies without having to go look on github (didn't try the normal VSRepo).

Some things that were a bit strange to me in the UI:

1. The height of each row is not fixed so it looks pretty ugly when scrolling with the text jumping around. Would probably look better to have all of them the same (maximum I guess) height.

2. The namespaces are links (or at least blue and underlined) but don't really do anything when clicked on.

3. There's a description when you click on a row but I would prefer if this was visible by default, that way you don't need to click on everything to see what it is.

Anyway these are nitpicky suggestions, I didn't have any real problems when using it.

[ChaosKing]

1. Ok will change it
2. Yeah I forgot about it. I wanted to link them to the vsrepo json files on github, but I'm open for other suggestions.
3. I will look into it. It seems if you click on any row and then mark everything with STRG+A you can open every hidden row.

[ChaosKing]

New release (see first page)
- Should start faster now (async plugin read on start)
- Should detect all possible VS installations now (for all and per user)
- Add some additional diagnostic information
- All rows have the same height now (better scrolling experience)
- Namespace links now opens its meta package on github

Hi, ChaosKing
I suggest you use it with caution.
I specifically contacted the platform, they said that this is a user-uploaded image, they can not guarantee copyright issues. Just like this, https://www.netclipart.com/isee/ibiJJw_pusheen-cat-clipart-birthday-pusheen-birthday/, it is possible to complain directly.

I recently switched to Windows 10, and now when I click on any url links inside the gui, nothing happen. Only links that point to my local folders work.

[ChaosKing]

I only tested it on win10... and you're definitely using the latest version?
The local ones are calling explorere.exe, the web links are starting a Process with the url. The rest should be handled by the OS.
What default browser is set in windows?

Thank you for this nice GUI.
Updates and installations just fail without any error. Does it store a log or something somewhere about these fails?

[ChaosKing]

Log and better error checking is on my todo (there is hidden console log, but you can't make it visible currently)
Try to update with vsrepo via console and see what it shows you.

In powershell/cmd: vsrepo upgrade-all
or vsrepo install yourpackage

[leon]

I just did "vsrepo upgrade packagename" and it worked, successfully updated the package that is.
Installing works too. But they don't work in the GUI.

Hmm that is what vsrepogui also does. Do you have multiple python versions installed?
What happens if you click on the "Diagnose Problems" tab?

[leon]

No, just one (3.8.2). It's installed in the Program Files, but I don't think that could be the problem because it used to work just fine a few weeks ago.
I don't see any problems.

Checked Plugins: 57, Notices: 13, Errors: 0

It's not really important, but there are some cosmetic bugs, like when I open the GUI the first time the update buttons are buried under the right margin and also characters in the Diagnose Problems tab are not shown properly and are instead replaced by a generic rectangle.

P.S. I'm on Win7 x64 SP1.

[leon]

@ChaosKing
Any update?

With VapourSynth also installed for mpv64 through SVP, this uses the SVP path.

[ChaosKing]

With VapourSynth also installed for mpv64 through SVP, this uses the SVP path.

So does SVP change the registry path of VS then?
And by defauft vsrepo uses the APPDATA folder... so I don't see how SVP could change that.

[Alexkral]

I can't see that here.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1r8WqWwRcGYXb9y4kXKQwqPHq2UUIixiH/view?usp=sharing

Anyway it seems that with VirtualDub2 I need to load the plugins manually.

[ChaosKing]

Attachments Approval can take a long time here, better upload it somewhere else.

[ChaosKing]

It looks like you have R51 installed, but the "SVP version R50" is used/loaded. I don't know where you can change the appdata path in VS, maybe it is a patched version by svp?

VSRepoGui just uses what "vsrepo paths" returns.

[leon]

See if this build shows any usefull err message https://www.dropbox.com/s/1b3l2bld6c9el90/VSRepoGUI_test.zip?dl=1

Nothing. The paths list is gone after I click update.

[ChaosKing]

I will install Win7 in a VM and see if I can trigger the same error.

@leon Is python installed globally or is it a per user installation?

[leon]

Globally i.e. inside Program Files.
Python 3.8.2.

[ChaosKing]

Good and bad news.
I finally got my win7 up and running.

For some reason it can not download anything. Error is always
Failed to download ZNEDI3 r2, skipping installation and moving on
Nothing done

When I run the exact same string manually in cmd it works :-/

Will take some time to figure out what is wrong here exactly...

[stax76]

If Python and VapourSynth are not in PATH then the app silently dies before any UI or error is shown, the average user will not be able to find out what's going on and just assume the app is broken, so it can be considered to be a bug.


For Each key In {Registry.CurrentUser, Registry.LocalMachine}
dllPath = key.GetString("Software\VapourSynth", "VapourSynthDLL")

If File.Exists(dllPath) Then
Return dllPath
End If
Next

[ChaosKing]

This was indeed a bug. Check new release.

[stax76]

Thanks for the support, it's working great now. Is it possible to decide if installed or portable vapoursynth should be used? Sorry, I'm just starting to explore new ways.

Regarding staxrip, using plugin auto loading instead of manual loading via LoadPlugin is a supported scenario since the last beta, maybe needs more testing and work.

For me and possible future staxrip maintainers it's difficult to update all the plugins (and all other tools as well) manually, there need to be some automation and collaboration features to make this effortless.

The app is somehow large due to the UI and json library.

[ChaosKing]

portable mode can only be used with a vsrepogui.json config file. With the following contents (Example is for AVSRepoGUI, but you get the idea. Or look at the example @ page 1.

{
"Bin":"avsrepo-64.exe",
"win32": {
"Binaries":"D:\\AvisynthRepository\\AVSPLUS_x86\\plugins",
"Scripts":"D:\\AvisynthRepository\\SCRIPTS",
},
"win64": {
"Binaries":"D:\\AvisynthRepository\\AVSPLUS_x64\\plugins",
"Scripts":"D:\\AvisynthRepository\\SCRIPTS",
}
}

Maybe I will add a gui option for that in the future.

Idk how to make the app smaller :(

[stax76]

Maybe use things like ConvertFrom-Json (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.utility/convertfrom-json?view=powershell-5.1), I use powershell all the time because I love working with it and hate using large external libraries, there is sample code in mpv.net, staxrip and mediainfo.net. I remember you know powershell.

[stax76]

It's maybe not interesting for many devs since it works on Win7 only when PowerShell 5.1 is installed, it's accessing the PowerShell API directly in-process not using the powershell executable.

https://github.com/stax76/mpv.net/blob/master/mpv.net/Misc/Commands.cs#L336

https://github.com/stax76/mpv.net/blob/master/Manual.md#powershell

[ChaosKing]

I will have a look, but I don't want to add a ps dependency.

There is a way however with .net core to compile it to true native code (with a c++ compiler). This sounds more interesting to me.

[stax76]

There is an AOT feature but it might not be available soon, at least not for popular platforms and project types.

The new platform has json support built-in but there will be a distribution issue for years (until it becomes part of Windows) unless your users don't mind downloading/installing a HUGE package.

There will probably be support for three shaking to get a smaller package but I don't think this will be available any time soon.

It's going to be good old .NET Framework 4.8 for few more years I'm afraid, people hate downloading/installing HUGE packages, I have some experience with this. :(

Installed Visual Studio in Win7. It works now but only if I start it through Visual Studio otherwise it does not work. :confused: This is very weird... I don't even know how to debug this...

[Myrsloik]

Installed Visual Studio in Win7. It works now but only if I start it through Visual Studio otherwise it does not work. :confused: This is very weird... I don't even know how to debug this...

1. Printf debugging
2. I bet it's related to the working directory somehow

[ChaosKing]

It looks more like vsrepo has "no internet" like it's blocked for some reason. On the other hand it downloads vspackges.json on start just fine :/

working dir seems unlikely since all vsrepo-commands are working except the ones where a download is involved.


Startet debug build through visualstuido, it calls this command and everything works: [These are the process args]
"C:\Users\bob\Desktop\VSRepoGUI\VSRepoGUI\bin\Debug\vsrepo.py" -p -b "C:\Users\bob\Desktop\VSRepoGUI\VSRepoGUI\bin\Debug\vapoursynth64\plugins" -s "C:\Users\bob\Desktop\VSRepoGUI\VSRepoGUI\bin\Debug\..\Scripts" -t win64 upgrade neo_fft3d


Now I start the same exe again but this time directly (without vstudio) and the very same command is called, BUT vsrepo says it failed, it can not download the package.
"C:\Users\bob\Desktop\VSRepoGUI\VSRepoGUI\bin\Debug\vsrepo.py" -p -b "C:\Users\bob\Desktop\VSRepoGUI\VSRepoGUI\bin\Debug\vapoursynth64\plugins" -s "C:\Users\bob\Desktop\VSRepoGUI\VSRepoGUI\bin\Debug\..\Scripts" -t win64 upgrade neo_fft3d
Uninstall works as expected. (also Installed)
"C:\Users\bob\Desktop\VSRepoGUI\VSRepoGUI\bin\Debug\vsrepo.py" -p -b "C:\Users\bob\Desktop\VSRepoGUI\VSRepoGUI\bin\Debug\vapoursynth64\plugins" -s "C:\Users\bob\Desktop\VSRepoGUI\VSRepoGUI\bin\Debug\..\Scripts" -t win64 uninstall neo_fft3d

[ChaosKing]

I think I found the problem. When I remove the tqdm python module it WORKS!
Now the question is why it makes a difference since it works within visual studio too :/

[Myrsloik]

It's probably something like the difference between stdout/stderr being initialized or not. GUI applications don't need it but Visual Studio probably attaches them anyway so you can see output in the debugger.

[ChaosKing]

I also suspected something with stderr and turns out Win7 / tdqm are happy if I just add a RedirectStandardError = true. Thx for your help.

Ah, handediting vsrepogui.json to my portable path gives at least an assertion window "vsrepogui.json is invalid",
then after confirming the abovementioned crash report window pops up. Continuing.

[ChaosKing]

I will check later in my VM. How does your vsrepogui.json look like?
Avsrepogui.exe is in the same folder as the python.exe?

EDIT
Can you run "python vsrepo.py update" in console without problems?

[Emulgator]

Many thanks for looking into it ! Yes, vsrepogui is in the same folder as python.exe.
Just downloaded your Fatpack, it throws the same error, BTW.
Fatpack vsrepogui.json:
{
"Bin":"vsrepo.py",
"win32": {
"Binaries":"vapoursynth32\\plugins",
"Scripts":"..\\Scripts"
},
"win64": {
"Binaries":"vapoursynth64\\plugins",
"Scripts":"..\\Scripts"
}
}
My 32-bit standalone .json
(ATM I have no thorough understanding what "binaries" would address: the location of plugins or the VapourSynth.dll
and where this is an example of relative vs. absolute paths...
{
"Bin":"C:\\_PROG\\! Video Tools\\! VapourSynth32-Portable-R52\\vsrepo.py",
"win32": {
"Binaries":"abc d\\p32",
"Scripts":"..\\scripts"
},
"win64": {
"Binaries":"C:\_PROG_64\! Video Tools 64\! VapourSynth64-Portable-R52\\vsrepo\\abc d\\p64",
"Scripts":"C:\_PROG_64\! Video Tools 64\! VapourSynth64-Portable-R52\\vsrepo\\abc d\\scripts"
}
}

[ChaosKing]

Binaries = plugin path in this context (it overrides the vsrepo parameters: you can check with "vsrepo.py paths)


the \ char needs to be escaped. A valid version should look like this.
{
"Bin":"C:\\_PROG\\! Video Tools\\! VapourSynth32-Portable-R52\\vsrepo.py",
"win32":{
"Binaries":"abc d\\p32",
"Scripts":"..\\scripts"
},
"win64":{
"Binaries":"C:\\_PROG_64\\! Video Tools 64\\! VapourSynth64-Portable-R52\\vsrepo\\abc d\\p64",
"Scripts":"C:\\_PROG_64\\! Video Tools 64\\! VapourSynth64-Portable-R52\\vsrepo\\abc d\\scripts"
}
}

I tried the latest portable fatpack and it works in my test VM. It downloaded vspackages3.json in my root folder for some reason and I get the message "Could not read/download vspckages.json". I moved it to Vapoursynh64 folder and it started without problems.
I think I need a bat file which changes the directory first to avoid this problem.

"Clr20r3" error on google suggest that it could be a problem with the .net installation.

Btw. what is U in Win7U64SP1? Ultimate?

[lansing]

For some reason my vsrepogui couldn't open, I have both Python 3.8 and 3.9 installed with 3.9 being the default, while my vseditor is able to run without problem.

[ChaosKing]

See if the new version fixes it for you https://github.com/theChaosCoder/VSRepoGUI/releases/tag/v0.9.6

[lansing]

Nope it still doesn't open, it worked if I uninstalled Python 3.9

[ChaosKing]

I see the problem now.
vsrepo can't detect vapoursynth

.\python.exe .\vsrepo.py update
Could not detect vapoursynth
vsrepogui just assumes when python is found, vsrepo works correctly :D

=> But it should work in portable mode (not tested yet)

EDIT
portable mode works. Tested with python3.9 embed version.

Does anybody have the detailsharpen plugin for StaxRip VapourSynth? I am just wondering how to import the plugin as well. Thanks.

[ChaosKing]

You can find a vs version here https://github.com/Selur/VapoursynthScriptsInHybrid/blob/master/G41Fun.py#L2885

Scipts are imported like this: import G41Fun as gf

and then can be used like this: clip = gg.DetailSharpen(clip)

You need to place G41Fun.py inside your python site-packages folder C:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python38\site-packages

For Staxrip specific help ask in the Staxrip thread.

Thanks for your help but I cannot see the python directory or folder and besides I do not know what to do with the script. I think I will ask in the Staxrip thread.

[lansing]

The program couldn't open with the new R59?

[ChaosKing]

It is most likely a vsrepo.py problem. Try running vsrepo.py in CMD first and see if it works. I had the same problem, not sure how I fixed it. I think I reinstalled python and/or R59.

[Emulgator]

Many thanks, ChaosKing !
Finally got it to work nicely.
It is end of 2022 and I can return to learning VapourSynth on a Win10Pro64 system.

Here comes the correct vsrepogui.json for my 2 portable installations.

{
"Bin":"C:\\_PROG\\! Video Tools\\! VapourSynth32-Portable-R61\\vsrepo.py",
"win32":{
"Binaries":"C:\\_PROG\\! Video Tools\\! VapourSynth32-Portable-R61\\vapoursynth32\\plugins",
"Scripts":"C:\\_PROG\\! Video Tools\\! VapourSynth32-Portable-R61\\vapoursynth32\\scripts"
},
"win64":{
"Binaries":"C:\\_PROG_64\\! Video Tools 64\\! VapourSynth64-Portable-R61\\vapoursynth64\\plugins",
"Scripts":"C:\\_PROG_64\\! Video Tools 64\\! VapourSynth64-Portable-R61\\vapoursynth64\\scripts"
}
}

Worth mentioning for newbies like me:
Having the VSRepoGUI "Search (x) Win64" ticked
searches the local 64bit installation and downloads the 64bit plugins and scripts into the 64bit installation.
Having the VSRepoGUI "Search ( ) Win64" unticked
searches the local 32bit installation and downloads the 32bit plugins and scripts into the 32bit installation.

P.S. Eek... 102 64bit plugins fell into the 32-bit installation, only 2 were correct 32bit.
On reload the situation improved: almost 100 correct. Ok, later..

Maybe the view was not updated correctly. I never touch the checkbox since I only user 64bit :D (half of the plugins are only available for 64bit anyway!)


I could replace the checkbox with a dropdown [Auto, Win64, Win32 ] to avoid confusion 🤔

[Ironclad]

Installing havsfunc and muvsfunc did not install several dependencies. Havsfunc was installed without vsutil installing. Several muvsfunc plugins also did not install including: AWarpSharp2, Bilateral, CAS, CTMF, descale, TCanny, and likely many others. All are listed separately in Vsrepogui. VSrepogui was placed in the the pedeps bin directory with listpedeps.exe. Diagnose Problems did not recognize the missing dependencies.

[lansing]

For some reason installing new plugin is fine, but updating plugin does nothing. The plugin did not get update.

[ChaosKing]

Works for me...

Have you tried manually updating it via vsrepo cli? What does it say?

[lansing]

Need a new update on this tool for R74

[ChaosKing]

Not sure if I will update it anymore. It is still not decided how the future of vsrepo will look like.
I think I will create a new corss plattform gui once the vsrepo / pip transition is done. There is also https://github.com/frankie1024/VSRepo_Gui (not tested by me)

Trying it now. It was looking for the file vspackages3.json but failed, don't know where that file came from now. It's not in the python vsrepo folder.

[ChaosKing]

try a manual vsrepo update first
