Direct input chunk encoding is broken with the new beta. All chunks will be encoded with the first chunk part. When changing to avs2pipemod everything works like it should and each chunk is correct.

Can you please report the issue directly here: https://github.com/staxrip/staxrip/issues

- Full AviSynth unicode and full long path support for users of Windows 10 1903, Windows 7 users need to enable avs2pipemod for x265 in order to use foreign (ANSI) characters
- Show also Source HDR Format on main window (Dendraspis)
- 3.4+62-aMod-gcc10.2.1+opt msg7086/DJATOM (avs unicode/long path/chunk encoding)

@stax76:

I think it's time we updated AvsResize to the most recent version r5 by StvG. The current one(r1d) is kind of outdated.

See this Wiki page about AvsResize.
(I think it's more appropriate for the Website link on Apps Manager.)

The most noticeable changes are as follows:

• Many pixel types are added.
• z_BlackmanResize(), z_GaussResize(), and z_SincResize() compatibility aliases have been removed.
• zimg(z.lib) is updated.

But since we only have z_ConvertFormat filter in AVS/VS Profiles, we just need to add additional option values as follows:

[AviSynth]

Convert | Format = z_ConvertFormat(pixel_type="$enter_text:Enter the Format You Wish to Convert to$", colorspace_op="$select:msg:Select Input Color Matrix;rgb;709;unspec;fcc;470bg;170m;240;ycgco;2020ncl;2020cl;chromancl;chromacl;ictcp$:$select:msg:Select Input Color Transfer;709;unspec;470m;470bg;601;240m;linear;log100;log316;xvycc;srgb;2020_10;2020_12;st2084;std-b67$:$select:msg:Select Input Color Primaries;709;unspec;470m;470bg;170m;240m;film;2020;st428;st431-2;st432-1;jedec-p22$:$select:msg:Select Pixel Range;limited;l;full;f$=>$select:msg:Select Output Color Matrix;rgb;709;unspec;fcc;470bg;170m;240;ycgco;2020ncl;2020cl;chromancl;chromacl;ictcp$:$select:msg:Select Output Color Transfer;709;unspec;470m;470bg;601;240m;linear;log100;log316;xvycc;srgb;2020_10;2020_12;st2084;std-b67$:$select:msg:Select Output Color Primaries;709;unspec;470m;470bg;170m;240m;film;2020;st428;st431-2;st432-1;jedec-p22$:$select:msg:Select Pixel Range;limited;l;full;f$", dither_type="$select:msg:Select Dither Type;none;ordered;random;error_diffusion$")

[VapourSynth]

Convert | Format = clip = core.avs.z_ConvertFormat(clip, pixel_type='$enter_text:Enter the Format You Wish to Convert to$', colorspace_op='$select:msg:Select Input Color Matrix;rgb;709;unspec;fcc;470bg;170m;240;ycgco;2020ncl;2020cl;chromancl;chromacl;ictcp$:$select:msg:Select Input Color Transfer;709;unspec;470m;470bg;601;240m;linear;log100;log316;xvycc;srgb;2020_10;2020_12;st2084;std-b67$:$select:msg:Select Input Color Primaries;709;unspec;470m;470bg;170m;240m;film;2020;st428;st431-2;st432-1;jedec-p22$:$select:msg:Select Pixel Range;limited;l;full;f$=>$select:msg:Select Output Color Matrix;rgb;709;unspec;fcc;470bg;170m;240;ycgco;2020ncl;2020cl;chromancl;chromacl;ictcp$:$select:msg:Select Output Color Transfer;709;unspec;470m;470bg;601;240m;linear;log100;log316;xvycc;srgb;2020_10;2020_12;st2084;std-b67$:$select:msg:Select Output Color Primaries;709;unspec;470m;470bg;170m;240m;film;2020;st428;st431-2;st432-1;jedec-p22$:$select:msg:Select Pixel Range;limited;l;full;f$', dither_type='$select:msg:Select Dither Type;none;ordered;random;error_diffusion$')

Since I incorporated all available values here, we can omit some values depending on use case.

z_ConvertFormat is indispensable in tonemapping, so this needs to be taken care of appropriately.

And don't forget to delete the three filters(z_BlackmanResize, z_GaussResize, z_SincResize) from Apps Manager.

In addition, D2VSource is updated to 1.2.1.

That seems interesting, thanks for doing the filter profile !

Using the latest beta (2.1.7.3) under Windows 7, I have the following issues:
1. The zoom out option under preview doesn't work.
2. Fails to create links for the portable frameservers, I have to switch to the installed version instead.

Thanks for all the hard work and the continuation of this project.

[44vince44]

@fredlkrue, please check the following

1) Did you extract the new 2.1.7.3 archive at the same place as the older one ? you must always delete the content of the old root folder (APPS folder) before putting there the new files.
2) maybe you need to delete your old settings. This is sometimes required, when major changes are made in the software.

I have just checked the creation of symlinks: it works
I have just checked the zoom out, it works: key "-" of the main keyboard (not keypad) zooms out, key "=" zooms in. You can change the keys as you please.

No bug found here. Please give us feedback after you check 1) and 2)

[stax76]

@JKyle

I've created an issue for it.

@fredlkrue

Enabling avs2pipemod would also work as it supports defining a custom avisynth path, this feature can be requested from x265 modders, it's the last important missing feature. I just don't want to ask for a new feature every day.

1) I always do that with new StaxRip version.
2) I always start fresh with new settings.

I always get that error message while creating the symlinks and that -/= I always use from main keyboard it used to work a while ago (forgot what version).
