Thanks, I will be testing the new build.

Got a laptop with switchable GPUS. StaxRiP see only Intel. Any way to use Nvidia (940mx in this case).?

Version 1.4.3.7 does not accept a changed path to MKVToolnix, or it just ignores it.
I have MKVToolnix installed in another path, because it updates much more often and is not only used by staxrip. But since 1.4.3.7 (didn't try any other since 1.3.x.x) it always pops up the settings dialog for the programs loctions, despite having already set it up correct (F11). Only if I copy the MKVToolnix files to the location, where staxrip wants them (within it's own apps folder), can I get going.

When updating I overwrote every file exept "StaxRip.pdb" in the program folder. Could that be the reason for such weird behaviour? And why?

Automatic filter selection should work, first you have to load a VapourSynth filter setup and after that change the source filter to Automatic. If you change the source filter to Manual the last build will offer VapourSynth DGSource/DGSourceIM in the filter selection dialog.

I improved the code that adds the required LoadPlugin calls, in the last build you can use code like this:

clip = core.avs.DGSource(r"%source_file%")
clip = core.avs.yadifmod2(clip)

and staxrip automatically adds:

core.avs.LoadPlugin(r"D:\Software\Medien\DGDecNV_2052\DGDecodeNV.dll")
core.avs.LoadPlugin(r"D:\Projekte\VS\VB\StaxRip\bin\Apps\Plugins\avs\yadifmod2\yadifmod2.dll")

Maybe the NVEnc author can help: https://github.com/rigaya/NVEnc/issues

It's fixed in the last build.

The file contains debug symbols for crash diagnostics. If you want to be safe it's best to only use the exact content of the download.

Today I rewrote the manual source filter selection dialog:

It don't show AviSynth and VapourSynth together but rather only AviSynth or VapourSynth depending on what scripting engine is active (the script engine can be changed with: Filters > Filter Setup, to make it default after startup use: Project > Safe As Template > Load template on startup)

The shown filters are not hardcoded but rather taken from the filter profiles, if you have two DGSource VapourSynth filter profiles for instance both should show in the dialog.

It has a much more lightweight look and feel.

whats up with all these bugs in new test builds ? i am still on 1.4.3.2 and i didnt upgrade because there were several files missing in staxrip's folder and i want to upgrade asap. what i think is that there are compatibility issues with c++2017 and dot net 4.7.

[stax76]

What files were missing? With the removal of C# scripting support lot's of DLLs are no longer needed.

Systems prior Creators Update need .NET 4.7. I've added a requirements section in the test build page.

To address the issue with high memory usage I changed the job processing in the build from today:

job processing is now always done in a new instance

after every finished job the instance shuts done and starts a new instance before in case there are more jobs to process

[Havokdan]

How do I use the following programs in portable mode along with StaxRip:

Python
Vapoursynth
Avisynth+

?

[stax76]

You can't, portable mode isn't supported and I don't plan to support it in the future.

[Havokdan]

Ok, thanks.

[stax76]

Again I totally rewrote job processing today, I hope it's much better now.

I modified much layout and scaling related code today and could need some help with testing because I want to release a stable build this week finally and pause for some time.

Hi Stax,

I'm currently testing 1.4.5.1 and i'm setting this error. Only seems to happen on my W7 machine, W10 is fine.

Exception

Could not load type 'System.ValueTuple`3' from assembly 'mscorlib, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'.

System.TypeLoadException: Could not load type 'System.ValueTuple`3' from assembly 'mscorlib, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'.

Hi Stax,

I've been testing 1.4.5.3 and this error appeared. The error didn't stop staxrip encoding and it's still happily going through the jobs.



the error on the left is the original error, the error on the right was after clicking the copy message link from the original error window.

StaxRip x64 : 1.4.5.3
OS          : Windows 10 Pro 1703
Language    : English (New Zealand)
CPU         : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz
GPU         : Radeon (TM) RX 480 Graphics

@AMED

Clicking on 'Copy Message' was supposed to copy the error message to the clipboard and show a message box 'Error was copied to clipboard'. Even though I couldn't understand why (something threading related I think) it didn't work, I think it is fixed now.

The exception that was happening is hopefully fixed too.

[stax76]

If everything goes right then I'll release a stable version this Sunday, last one is already 7 months old.

Test build from today:

what was the last build with worked fine without .net 4.7 ? on my win 10 installation of 4.7 is blocked and it says os not supported. whenever u make the stable release, please if possible, make a build which can work fine without 4.7 also. thanks.

Did you consider updating to creators update?

i think new builds of staxrip will force me to do it
