MeGUI 6.6.6.6 20260403 released

[tebasuna51]

...
EDIT: Dont know if I may have caused a problem, I removed the entire AutoUpdate.xml section for <iUpgradeable xsi:type="ProgramFile"> for NeroAAC which I installed myself into tools/neroaac folder,
(as it kept trying to download it from rarefiles site)

It's not a problem in my opinion.

About the Update system I have some not important sugesstions:
18965

1) Seems when a software is not used go to Disable status.
Please remain it like Enabled until the user mark it like Disabled (never needed) or when the version installed is the last know (abandoned like the NeroAacEnc, AVI-Mux-GUI, BeSplit, Haali, PgcDemux, VobSub and now tsMuxer, maybe also OggEnc replaced by Opus)

2) I have a problem with MediaInfo:
Local version/date: 24.06/2024
Server version/date: 18.05/2018
Update available ???

3) The Qaac encoder need QuickTime installed or a folder QTfiles64 with the dll's needed (CoreAudioToolbox.dll, etc.). If that folder can't be installed with MeGUI maybe is better use the same procedure than NeroAacEnc and FDK-AAC and ask for the qaac.exe location here:

Sorry, I dont understand what you're trying to say...I dont think its disabled by default.

Local version/date: 24.06/2024

Looks like you have an old update.xml settings somewhere...or did you use the stable server ?

Anyway, I think I should drop this package from the update. Because it should always been there.

Well, ok. Good idea.

[tebasuna51]

Sorry, I dont understand what you're trying to say...I dont think its disabled by default.

If a package is not used when there are new versions I need Enable it manually to download new version.
But I say it is not important.

Looks like you have an old update.xml settings somewhere...

-Use development update server

[Kurt.noise]

Any news on the display problem with 4k resolution and Windows zoom >100%?
I think this has been fixed. Let me know if you need a fresh build.

Also there is an annoying bug in the file indexer mask. If you want to enqueue more than one indexing job, the output path is not updated. Which means any indexing output file will be written to the output path of the first job.

Right now you have to close the file indexer an reopen it to make sure every index job you create will use the correct path for file output.
I'll check it out

Also on two of my systems DGIndexNV is gone in the file indexer for selection. DGIndexNV IS enabled in the settings however.

I already copied the entire Megui directory from a system where DGIndexNV is shown and working just fine. But no use. So I was wondering if MeGUI stores settings somewhere in the Registry or personal folders which I've missed? Really have no idea how to make this work again.
Did you use a RDP connection in order to use File Indexer ? Which kind of input files you got that ?

[LeXXuz]

That'd be great. I will check it out in a couple of days when I'm back at the machine. Right now I'm limited to 1440p over RDP since my screen here doesn't support any higher resolution. :)


Did you use a RDP connection in order to use File Indexer ? Which kind of input files you got that ?

Aw, yes. After using RealVNC for many years, I switched back to RD because of recent license changes with RealVNC and seeing they made a lot of positive changes to RD since last time I've used it.
Finally being able to run CUDA and OpenCL code via a RDP session was the final straw that made me switch back. I can index files over RD with DG's own GUI just fine but in MeGUI DGindexNV is gone. Therefore I never expected it could be the RDP session. :o

In addition, over RD I can load a .dgi file in AVS script creator just fine. It's just the file indexer mask not showing DGIndexNV anymore.

Not sure why but its because there is a restriction (https://github.com/Kurtnoise-zeus/megui/blob/bbc596846f475f29c367f975da2263611fcb7da5/core/details/MeGUISettings.cs#L1578) in the code.

Probably because that was the case many years ago. You could not access GPU hardware on a RDP session. It was completely replaced by a virtual adapter from MS. That's what made me use 3rd party software like VNC to be able to still use GPU for indexing. Thankfully that has changed.

Here is a screenshot from the remote system. As you can see the GPUs are now still accessible PLUS the adapter Windows uses for the RDP session.

[nechto]

BTW, I found one case, but not sure it need to be resolved, due to very rare case.
If you add a lot of tasks one by one (using File, Open) - sometimes megui freezes(absolutely, stall). Seems it is happening when you are pushing Quiee in between of processes or while LSmash is working ...

Solution in this case - to try to close main window(using choose of windows in Task Bar and pushing "X" there). In this case process will continue (while main process will reject to close due other processes and also continue to work)

[Kurt.noise]

define *a lot*

[nechto]

Sorry, for me doom9 was not avalable for 2 weeks.

a lot for me = 10-20 avi's to recode. 1 by 1. not using "to recode folder", but really open 1st, choose parameters abd Queue, 2nd, parameters and queue, 3rd+parameters and queue. On 10-15th it is starting to freeze a little bit + sometime it is completely freezing/stopping. Until I try to close main window - it is reject to close, but total program start continue to work.

[Kurt.noise]

Suddenly, Megui Adaptive Muxer stopped working, and I've done everything, tried other versions, and it still doesn't work. Any solution to this, please?

[zezinho]

Hi, I live in Brazil, and my English is very poor. I'll try to explain. If you search old forums, you'll see complaints about this issue. When you run "AVS Script preview" to see the script's output, the forum is at https://sourceforge.net/projects/megui/. I tried to find the complaint and couldn't. Maybe you'll have an easier time checking it out.

[Kurt.noise]

Post some screenshots if it's too complicated to describe your issue...

@Kurt.noise:

I've noticed the avs preview window can be zoomed >100%, which is great! :thanks:

But then the picture is not fully shown anymore and has sidebars because the window frame is too small and can't be enlarged. Maybe that's what zezinho meant?

Go to post's lower left corner. Press exclamation mark button. Report own/interesting post for approval. Simple as that ;-)

[zezinho]

If we look at versions prior to this one, we'll see that my comment makes sense. When you place the original image of the script to be edited, the scroll bar in the lower right corner disappears, both vertically and horizontally. As I mentioned earlier, there was a MeGUI update with this same behavior. Having used MeGUI for a long time to edit and render my videos, I notice the differences.

[zezinho]

This screenshot refers to version "MeGUI-x64-6.6.6.6_20250210". Note the dark arrow I added. The scroll bar is missing in its original size. In the screenshot of the current version, "MeGUI-x64-6.6.6.6_20250716". Note that the scroll bar appears in its original size. In my opinion, it shouldn't appear when you activate the "AVS Script preview". Perhaps the way I'm explaining it isn't enough to understand my reasoning. I'm just highlighting the differences between the two versions. This is due to the time I've been using MeGUI.

I have a problem with special characters in file names again.

The whole indexing and avs creation process with DGIndex works just fine.
But as soon as I try to enqueue these files, MeGUI gives an error that the file can't be found. The very same file it just worked with through the whole indexing/avs creation process.

The usual suspects in german: ä ö ü ß.


In addition I have a request for a dark mode. But I don't know how hard and extensive this would be to implement. :o

Maybe it's related to this (https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=181351&page=169). What is your avs file ?

Well, its not that hard. I've already did something on my local tree but honestly, its ugly coz several part of megui components use old winforms.

[LeXXuz]

Could be. I don't know anymore. These problems with unicode filenames got so frustrating and tiresome over the years. Not blaming anyone in particular but it's very sad that we all still have to cope withe these problems in 2025. I have had older versions of avs+ and MeGUI that worked fine with unicode filenames, now the problem is back. I can rename those files to work properly, of course. But in all honesty I really wish these probleme would be gone for good.

M'kay. Can't judge anything I haven't seen yet. I often work late in a darker room so the dark mode usually is much easier on the eyes. Especially when judging video previews the darker windows are much better as they don't outshine dark scenes in video content. :)

[zezinho]

Unfortunately, with each MeGUI update, a different type of issue appears. So far, my request has not been granted.:sly:

[Kurt.noise]

Which request ?

If you dont like it, don't use it. Period.

[zezinho]

If you can't fix the error from the recent update, then don't update anymore!

[Kurt.noise]

I said, I will fix it.

but you're talking about a "request". Its different for me. A request means usually a new feature.

"my English is very poor" is not really a good enough excuse for your posts, Kurt is good enough to give his time and hard-won talent, and dont need
anybody giving him 'ear-ache' for his efforts.

I suggest that you read this post.
General conduct - or how to accept a gift properly :- https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=52597
in particular,
And then, even if you made it here the guy on the other side doesn't owe you anything. Did you pay for a service to be rendered? No. Did you ever do anything for the people you're expecting help from? Most likely no. Imagine asking strangers in the street for a quarter. They don't have to give you one, it's their own choice. Even if in a similar situation you would give a quarter to the next guy if you had one, that still doesn't mean that the time you need that quarter somebody is going to have to give it to you. But, chances are just a bit higher if you're generous, that somebody will eventually be generous with you. Back to the forum, if you contribute towards other people's solutions and helping developers identify and solve problems it's more likely that you'll be treated with the same courtesy if you have a problem and present your case in a proper fashion.

[zezinho]

My goal is not to criticize anyone's work.
MeGUI is a free tool, and as a longtime user, I reserve the right to object to updates that don't meet standards.
My intention is simply to provide information about what isn't working properly.
If this isn't relevant, please disregard it.
My responses are based on what I receive.
My thoughts.

[LeXXuz]

MeGUI is a free tool, and as a longtime user, I reserve the right to object to updates that don't meet standards.

I also disagree with you on that. And in my opinion you have NO right whatsoever regarding a free tool. Like Kurt said; don't like it? Don't use it!

I've been using MeGUI since it was developed and went through many ups and downs with that tool over the many years.

And after this long time it still has it's problems and flaws that can be annoying at times.

But I would never ever criticise any of the devs to do a lazy or bad job. These good people do this on their own free time with nothing in return.

For me, I'm grateful that these people share their knowledge and skill to give me tools and help to do things I never could've done on my own.

Hi,

I have a problem with special characters in file names again.

The whole indexing and avs creation process with DGIndex works just fine.
But as soon as I try to enqueue these files, MeGUI gives an error that the file can't be found. The very same file it just worked with through the whole indexing/avs creation process.

The usual suspects in german: ä ö ü ß.
Just did few tests on my own :

filename = "Ça alors, comme c'est bizarre - 28 ans plus Tard.mkv" - input is a normal h264 video track. The file path also does not contain any special characters.

Using the File Indexer,
- DGSource : indexing ok / rendering ko
- FFVideoSource : indexing ok / rendering ko
- LSmashSource // LWLibavVideoSource : indexing ok / rendering ok

Using directly the AVS File Creator,
- BSVideoSource : indexing ok / rendering ok

So, I would say, this does not concern avisynth+ but much more what did you use as source. If you are looking for specifically hardware decoding support, I would say, go with L-Smash Works or BestSource plugins. Otherwise, ask developers/maintainers from other plugins to support special characters in filenames.

[LeXXuz]

This problem really is weird. DGI works fine with older AVS and MeGUI versions. Can't explain why, really. I'll stick with dgi. It's the most precise and reliable indexer when working with elementary streams. I just rename my files with a script before processing and renaming them afterwards. Gives me less headache than working with another indexer. ;) Thanks for testing and confirming. :)

Have you considered on a dark mode yet? Even if it looks 'uglier' it's easier on the eyes in a dark environment. :o

[tebasuna51]

...I just rename my files with a script before processing and renaming them afterwards...
That is the recommended process to work with many software.
BTW the final name don't need be the same than original name.

[Kurt.noise]

Low priority. There are several new features that I would like to add first.

[outhud]

Thanks for continuing MeGUI!

Some small things I noticed:
- On a new install, it gives an error that BestSource isn't installed once I go to AVS Script Creator. I think the original MeGUI would straight away ask if you want to install things like this which aren't installed by default?

- Changing CRF in the svtav1psy settings doesn't seem to work. Log says "Error: Invalid parameter 'crf' with value '37.0'" (Svt[info]: SVT [version]: SVT-AV1-Essential Encoder Lib v3.1.2)

- I don't know of any easy way to set-up QTGMC from scratch on Windows, and install all dependencies. Is that something that could be in the scope of this, with options for it in the Updater? (big ask I know :) )

You may want to check out Dogway's filter repository:
https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=182881

And opt for his QTGMC+ script. I use it regularly and it works quite well. All necessary dependencies are mentioned in the script. Most if not all of them you'll find in his repo as well. :)
It's not really hard to add that to your own script in MeGUI's AVS-editor.

[StainlessS]

You'de be better off installing full version Avisynth and providing your own pre-made scripts for this.
You cannot really expect MeGUI to do everything on its own, that puts an unacceptable burden on Kurt.
EDIT: Too much work keeping up with changing requirements of a script function like QTGMC().
(also, there are multiple different versions of it)
