VapourSynth Installer, Applications, & Plugins for macOS (Intel)

@l33tmeatwad: Another filter that might be interesting assuming it can be compiled for MacOS: https://github.com/Kiyamou/VapourSyn...R-ncnn-Vulkan/

Just an update, I've added the requested plugins to my list and as soon as I get back to working on this project I'll see about getting them compiled.

[Selur]

Thanks, no hurry from my side.

Vmod moved all his plugins here

I have updated the topic to specify the software and plugins are compiled for Intel based macOS since the first set of ARM based MacBooks are now in the wild. Based on the initial benchmarks spreading across the web the performance should be fine even if it's not natively compiled for the M1 chips, however if anyone can share their experience that would be great. I do not currently have plans to compile for ARM at the moment as I do not have a machine to compiling with and do not want to just cross compile with no means to test the resulting files.

@l33tmeatwad: another useful filter you could add: https://github.com/Kiyamou/VapourSynth-DehazingCE

Is someone interested in a vsrepo mac version?
I just realised I could make a "fake github api" for the plugins hosted on vsdb.top. That means auto updating should work with minimal code changes.

[Selur]

I'd use it.

@Selur can you test this binary (pyinstaller bundle) http://vsdb.top/avsrepo-64.zip. I was generated by a github action here https://github.com/avisynth-reposito...runs/392449849
(I'm not a mac user and only have a mac Mojave-VM for testing ... )

It shows an "request ssl error" when I run "avsrepo-64 update".
If it fails for you too, try: Download http://vsdb.top/avspackages.zip extract it and try to "install" something, like "avsrepo install dfttest"

I just need to know if the error pops up only on my machine or for everyone. Btw. the error is gone if I install "certifi" via pip.

I think my "mac" does not know any cloudflare certs. Note to myself: switch to Letsencrypt

EDIT
oh and you need 7z in PATH. brew install p7zip

[l33tmeatwad]

@ChaosKing I'll look into making this easier for everyone as the plugin directory can vary based on how VapourSynth was installed (even brew wants to use its own directory that's different). I may try to make a build of p7zip that can be bundled with avsrepo or something.

What would be the plugin path instead of /usr/local/lib/vapoursynth for other install methods?

Why am I even testing pyinstaller... This is vapoursynth + python and not Avisynth

Both my installer and Brew use alt locations and symbolic links for the main library files. In recent revisions I've started adding a symbolic link to forward stuff sent to that location as well so it should work fine with the installer, but unless you take some specific steps before using "brew install vapoursynth" you'll end up with the plug-in path in a weird location. Side note, part of the point of the installer is that it does not require any compilation tools to be installed, unlike Brew, so I was going to try and make sure it can be used without needing to install Brew.

VS docs: http://www.vapoursynth.com/doc/plugins.html#os-x

Autoloading can be configured using the file $HOME/Library/Application Support/VapourSynth/vapoursynth.conf. Everything else is the same as in Linux.

So wouldn't it make sense for vsrepo-mac to use the paths from this config? (Assuming your installer would create the config file)

p.s. vsrepo supports custom path params for scripts/plugins in case you want to download your files to a different folder.

[l33tmeatwad]

I would take it into consideration, but by default neither Brew nor the installer setup the Autoloading config file. That said, in the first post of this thread I did encourage people using Brew to setup the autoloading config file.

The "vsdb-github-api" is ready http://vsdb.top/vapoursynth/mac/api.php?plugin=SangNom
But I noticed that 7z does not work as intended. It extracts only the tar from tar.gz files. I need to look closer at the python tarfile module...

That would mean 7z will not be needed anymore (if all files are tar.gz files)
