MeGUI 6.6.6.6 20260403 released

[Kurt.noise]

Hi,

I just released a fresh build (6666.1007) :



Introduced Exhale Audio encoder (https://gitlab.com/ecodis/exhale). An exec binary can be found here (https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=2001725#post2001725) and must be placed into tools/exhale subfolder. A decent A/V player using the latest LAV filters should decode properly such files.
Added BestAudio avisynth support (https://github.com/vapoursynth/bestsource/releases). The library must be put into tools/bestsource subfolder.
Simplified audio transcoding channel mask use.
Updated MediaInfo library to the latest release.


https://github.com/Kurtnoise-zeus/megui/releases/latest

In few days, I will create a dedicated branch in the download tools server since new tools are incoming in this fork.


Enjoy

I just installed the latest version, but when I launch it I received the error that I don't have enough memory.
I have 32 Gbyte RAm and the SSD has still 440 Gbyte free.

I receive the same error even after restarting the laptop.

Bye

P.S.
I run Windows 11 and I have a Ryzen 9 processor and an RTX 3080Ti graphic card

New error

See attachment

[tebasuna51]

I just installed the latest version...
Installed?
The last version MeGUI 6666.1007 is a .zip file without installer, where do you extract that zip file in your file system?
I recommend here C:\Portable\MeGUI\

Do you have AviSynth+ already installed?

[Devilman1]

I extracted the zip file here:

C:\Audio & Video App\Megui-X64-6666

And Avisynth+ is already installed

[Kurt.noise]

Any logfile ? Did you have .NET Framework 4.8 runtimes installed ?

[tebasuna51]

Yep, search any log in C:\Audio & Video App\Megui-X64-6666\logs folder.

I run MeGUI in Windows 10, I don't know if can be a problem related to Windows 11.

[Devilman1]

Here is the log.

Here is Devilman1 log [EDIT: 11KB], (Avisynth Usage allows up to 16KB in posts [Avs Devs forum allows 20KB]),

@Kurt, still we need Haali Splitter?
Well, this is used with HD Streams Extractor in order to extract video streams as mkv. Seemas eac3to still uses it to demux as mkv. If I remove this, I would need to remove mkv output...

@Kurt, making that test I found other problem:
The input file size is +4Gb ?

Hi Kurt.

how about adding x265
Encoder settings/Config/Enable 10-Bits Encoding/ tickbox (as in x264 config).

I think can enter something like "output-depth 10" [EDIT: or is it "output-depth=10"] in x265/Encoder settings/Config/Misc/Custom Command Line/
but nicer to have it flagged/ticked (and config saved) in main config window.

Tanks :)

EDIT: Looking forward to AV1 Video Encoder debut.

Looks like we get something here...;)

Hi,

A new fresh build has been released :

- Introduced svt-av1-psy Video Encoder (https://github.com/gianni-rosato/svt-av1-psy)
- Added FFV1 Video Encoder (https://ffmpeg.org/)
- Switched update development tools server to the fork one - mainly x64 binaries in there at this time.
- Added 10bits encoding setting for x265
- Fixed WAV_FORMAT_EXTENSIBLE for multichannel sources for FLAC transcodings.



Enjoy.

[tebasuna51]

Thanks Kurt, I'll test it.

[tebasuna51]

- Fixed WAV_FORMAT_EXTENSIBLE for multichannel sources for FLAC transcodings.

preserve the ChannelLayout correctly
And also using BeHappy work fine (with manual set of MaskChannel)

[tebasuna51]

- Switched update development tools server to the fork one - mainly x64 binaries in there at this time.


Now in Options->Extended we can select between:
- Use development update server
- Use custom update server

Use the second one (custom) because if you select the development when select Tools->Update you get very old server versions not recommended:

[tebasuna51]

- Introduced svt-av1-psy Video Encoder (https://github.com/gianni-rosato/svt-av1-psy)

We need download manualy the encoder and put it in:

...\MeGUI_66\tools\svtav1psy\SvtAv1EncApp.exe

Because it is not included in the Tools->Update

Even the message if you try encode to AV1 without the manual download:

Well ok...may I missed something. Will check.

Now in Options->Extended we can select between:
- Use development update server
- Use custom update server

Use the second one (custom) because if you select the development when select Tools->Update you get very old server versions not recommended:

Yes, thats why I recommend to install this new release into a new folder and update components afterwards.

I get this on my side using development server :
https://i.ibb.co/bWMfkgW/Sans-titre.png (https://ibb.co/FxLPFbx)

We need download manualy the encoder and put it in:

...\MeGUI_66\tools\svtav1psy\SvtAv1EncApp.exe

Because it is not included in the Tools->Update

Even the message if you try encode to AV1 without the manual download:
Its because you have downloaded the release from yesterday, right ? I've made a silent build this morning in order to prevent that.

I have this error and i don't know how to resolve:

https://thumbs4.imagebam.com/fa/db/6c/MEVGM9W_t.png (https://www.imagebam.com/view/MEVGM9W)

It happens both when trying to make the index file (with FFMSIndex or L-SMASH Works) and if I load an avs script (without filters of any kind).
I use Avisynth AviSynthPlus_3.7.3_20230715, windows 11 pro, AvsPmod_v2.7.7.8, VisualCppRedist_AIO_x86_x64.
I had no problems with the MeGui.x64-6666.1007 version. I only rip to x264.

Can anyone help me?
Thanks

[Kurt.noise]

LWlibavVideoSource() from lsmash-works can't be used to open avs scripts. Did you have both bborders.avsi & bbmodY.avsi in your plugins avisynth folder ? Did you really need that ? Also, retry with a short name.

Thanks for you help.


The procedure I use to make the index file to create the avi script is: Megui - Tools - File indexer - Inpunt file - FFMSIndex or L-Smash.
I removed bborders.avsi and bbmodY.avsi , which I was using anyway, the result is this (with the short name):
https://thumbs4.imagebam.com/d1/c5/3c/MEVGQHO_t.png (https://www.imagebam.com/view/MEVGQHO)

The same crash is created if, by recalling a previously created avs script, I try to launch the encode and the same window appears.
In my opinion there is a problem with the latest version of MeGUi. If I try to install the old ones it updates and I'm all over again.

[Kurt.noise]

How would I know ? :logfile:

Hi,

A new fresh build has been released :

- Introduced svt-av1-psy Video Encoder (https://github.com/gianni-rosato/svt-av1-psy)
- Added FFV1 Video Encoder (https://ffmpeg.org/)
- Switched update development tools server to the fork one - mainly x64 binaries in there at this time.
- Added 10bits encoding setting for x265
- Fixed WAV_FORMAT_EXTENSIBLE for multichannel sources for FLAC transcodings.



Enjoy.
Ooooo, lovely!

[kalehrl]

Does MeGUI autoload all plugins from \tools\avisynth_plugin?
I'm using the included avisynth+

[Kurt.noise]

Does MeGUI autoloads all plugins from \tools\avisynth_plugin?
I'm using the included avisynth+
normally, yes...except bestsource for Audio decoding.

[kalehrl]

When you switch from stable to development server and restart, you will get an update notification to downgrade tools.
Switching back to stable will not fix the issue.
So, once you change the server, you will always get annoying downgrade notification.

[Kurt.noise]

yes, I'm looking at it. Anyway, I think I will drop definitively the "stable" server from my fork for easier maintenance.

Does MeGUI pay any attention to the new eac3to ini file? It's just that for version 1405 I thought it might have changed what MeGUI was doing. I'm sure at some point the HD Streams Extractor section in the log still contained the warning but -keepDialnorm wasn't in the command line. I was probably confused....
I was trying to find out why eac3to no longer fixes audio gaps (https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=185750) so I changed MeGUI and eac3to versions a couple of times.

Thanks.

[Kurt.noise]

nope...

[tebasuna51]

Following are highlights from the log file created by MeGUI when using the HD Streams Extractor (MeGUI 6666.2308 and eac3to 3.352).
Maybe 3.52

Does MeGUI pay any attention to the new eac3to ini file?
Like Kurt say "nope..." and show warnings for "Unknown line...", but eac3to yes.

BTW check your eac3to.ini file like I say you in eac3to no longer fixes audio gaps (https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=185750)

Can you upload your sample file? to make test by command line (out of HDStreamsExtractor) to confirm the behaviour.

Or execute in command line, and put the log:

"C:\Program Files\MeGUI\tools\eac3to\eac3to.exe" "M:\NVME1\gap.mkv" 2:"M:\NVME2\gap_T2_Audio - English.aac"

[hello_hello]

Yes I made a boo boo as I meant version 3.52.

If only I'd read your post 10 minutes earlier.... I thought it'd be easy to make another sample until eac3to 3.36 decided to ignore the gap too. There must be a minimum size or duration before it's interested as the first couple of samples I made were only about 30 seconds long.

As you can see for these two, foobar2000 is able to pretend there's no gap and report different audio durations for each, but it's the same audio. I split the sample in half, delayed the audio in the second half by 1500ms, then put the two halves back together. If you extract the AAC from 1500ms.mkv without accounting for the gap, when you stick the AAC into a container again foobar2000 will display 01:16.800 as the duration instead of 01:18.300.

Naturally 1500ms.mkv will lose A/V sync about half way through.

I tried appending the delayed section to the end of the original MKV to see if maybe a longer duration would make a difference, but according to the log file eac3to 3.52 noticed the gaps but didn't fix them. I deleted the eac3to ini file first.

Kurt.noise: Thank you for your MeGUI 6666 work :) . A couple questions:

1) I was able to simply copy-paste my standard MeGUI's x264 and QAAC profiles to their corresponding folders in your version without issue, but copying-pasting my AviSynth profiles results in the error message "The file could not be loaded: 'PATH... .xml' It will be moved to the backup directory: 'PATH...' for each individual profile when I start MeGUI 6666. Any idea why?

2) All attempts to downmix audio results in MeGUI 6666 crashing, regardless of the "Preferred Decoder" selected.

Thanks for any help.

maybe you have some dlls path in your avisynth profiles that need to be changed. What do they look like ?

2) All attempts to downmix audio results in MeGUI 6666 crashing, regardless of the "Preferred Decoder" selected.
Any log would be great...

[LouieChuckyMerry]

It works fine in my standard MeGUI (2944 x64), but not Kurt.noise's MeGUI (6666.2308 x64). All relevant packages are enabled and updated, but it still crashes (with the same log).

[hello_hello]

Thanks for your patience.

1) No .dll paths in any of my presets. Here's a typical example:

SetFilterMTMode("DEFAULT_MT_MODE", MT_MULTI_INSTANCE)

Instead of doing that, try loading this file (as an avsi file it can be put in the auto-loading plugins folder if you have Avisynth+ installed to save having to import it in every script).

https://publishwith.me/ep/pad/view/ro.rDkwcdWn4k9/latest

SetFilterMTMode is ignored by plugins that register their MT mode automatically, so if you want to over-ride a particular mode for a plugin in your script, it's a good idea to use the "force" option. For example:

SetFilterMTMode("TEMmod", MT_MULTI_INSTANCE, force=true)

If you load the script I linked to though, you shouldn't have to worry about using SetFilterMTMode. You only need to add Prefetch() to the end of your scripts.

[jrissole]

I am experiencing a bug with AvisynthWrapper.dll v3000. I am not sure if the problem is with AvisynthWrapper or the way MeGUI is using it. The MeGUI video preview window locks the video file that the AVS script is using. If you close the window the file lock is released but if a new script is previewed without closing the window the lock on the old file is not released. When the preview window is closed only the lock on the last file will be released.

The problem occurs with both MeGUI 6666.2308 and standard MeGUI (2944 x64). It doesn't occur with AvisynthWrapper.dll v2847.

Just installed it to try, Audio encoding doesn't work - it crash.
Input format/decoder/encoder doesn't matter, everything just crash, same log as LouieChuckyMerry's.



3) Any suggestion for a custom server address so that the updater doesn't want to revert to original MeGUI?

Yeah, it wants to downgrade everything.

[VoodooFX]

Found the problem with crashes, "MeGUI libs" auto-update overwrites AvisynthWrapper.dll with outdated one.

Btw, versioning is confusing, "6666.2308" is greater than "6666.2604"...
