New versions of free software used in the GUI's

[Selur]

Yes, but the hydrogen one is a 64bit version. :)

[LigH]

Should M-AB-S support it too, in your opinion? Maybe add a FR.

[Selur]

Yes.
There already is one: https://github.com/m-ab-s/media-autobuild_suite/issues/2929

MKVToolNix v.95.0 (https://mkvtoolnix.download/windows/releases/95.0/)

https://mkvtoolnix.download/doc/NEWS.md

[hello_hello]

Barough,

I seem to have come across a problem with your build of Sox 14.4.2 (2025-08-26) and at least the version prior to that. I don't understand it, but I have SoX conversion presets configured in foobar2000 that run perfectly well when foobar2000 is running in Wine on Linux, but when it's running on Windows the SoX presets always result in a code 2 error. I don't think it's an oddity with my setup (I only run Windows 11 in VirtualBox for testing and not much else), as I shared my presets and your build of SoX with someone at VideoHelp and they informed me SoX was producing a code 2 error on Windows 7.

At first I assumed it must be a foobar2000 oddity so I reported the problem in the foobar2000 forum, but after a bit of experimenting it appears foobar2000 isn't the cause as sox_ng works using the same conversion presets on Windows (after renaming sox_ng.exe to sox.exe). Someone in the thread suggested it might be a piping issue as they'd experienced a similar problem with a build they downloaded from rarewares in the past. Whatever the problem is though, I don't understand why it works in Wine but not on Windows.

Here's the foobar2000 thread if you care to have a look.
https://hydrogenaudio.org/index.php/topic,128439.0.html

Cheers.

[Barough]

Sorry, i cant help ya. I just share what media-autobuild_suite outputs.
The only thing is use SoX for is Spectograms.

[LigH]

DOS Error 2 means: A file cannot be found.

If it is a DLL file SoX needs to load to run, Dependencies / Dependency Walker may help to discover it.

[hello_hello]

Sorry, i cant help ya. I just share what media-autobuild_suite outputs.

That's okay.
This post is simply for informational purposes.

LigH,
I don't know what to make of the Dependancy Walker log. Does VirtualBox change any Windows system files?

Dependency Walker - sox and sox_ng text files.zip (https://files.videohelp.com/u/210984/Dependency%20Walker%20-%20sox%20and%20sox_ng%20text%20files.zip)

Someone at hydrogenaudio suggested a command line to simulate what foobar2000 would be doing and check for error messages. I ran it for sox_ng and the audio was processed successfully. The upshot for sox was:

sox.exe FAIL formats: can't open input `-': invalid chunk ID found
[aost#0:0/pcm_f32le @ 000001a71b647f80] Error submitting a packet to the muxer: Broken pipe
Last message repeated 1 times

[out#0/wav @ 000001a71b64e980] Error closing file: Broken pipe

I guess I'm destined to go to my grave without understanding why the pipe isn't broken when I'm using Wine on Linux.... :(

[LigH]

Trying to open an input file named "-" probably means to operate with stdin/stdout pipes. Might be that sox_ng does not support that (only supports files from a file system) or works in a different way in such a case.

[hello_hello]

LigH,
It's the other way around. The piped input works fine for sox_ng (renamed as sox.exe), but for the sox build from this thread the error message I quoted is produced.

Slipstream for eac3to build v.3.53:

* Fixed a regression in disk STN parsing.
* Fixed a bug that allowed eac3to to overwrite a source file.

[seagate]

eac3to v.3.54 (14.10.2025) (https://www.rationalqm.us/eac3to/)

* eac3to v.3.54 is fixed and available again. The fix for accepting streams without AUD NALUs was bad and was removed.

Repack – Visual C++ redistributable runtimes v.0.103.0 – by abbodi1406 (https://gitlab.com/stdout12/vcredist/-/releases/v0.103.0/)

[Columbo]

eac3to build 3.55:

* Accept DTS-MA streams without a core. The UI display is still wrong
for now and needs to be fixed, but the streams can be opened and processed.

* In the UI and in the demuxed filenames when using -demux, iso639 names are now used. For example, instead of English we now have [eng]. This change allows for mkvtoolnix to autodetect the language(s) from the filename(s). The author of UsEac3to will release a new compatible version that will also allow for mkvtoolnix language detection from UsEac3to-generated filenames.
